In this paper, in order to help the growing number of elderly do away with the difficulty getting about, a walk-assistant robot for the elderly was designed with tactile and sliding senses that can perceive the movement intention and state of the elderly. And then, its key component, namely detection system of tactile and sliding sensor is designed in detail, including the layout of basic unit selection design of tactile and sliding sensor and the data acquisition system. In the end, a single channel experimental platform is built. The tactile and sliding senses of the elderly are detected and analyzed, and the design of detection system has been preliminarily verified effective. The results show the designed tactile and sliding senses detection system has the function to recognize the intention and state of the elderly movement.

Membrane patches usually contain several ion channels of a given type. However, most of the stochastic modelling on which data analysis (in particular, estimation of kinetic constants) is currently based, relates to a single channel rather than to multiple channels. Attempts to circumvent this problem experimentally by recording under conditions where channel activity is low are restrictive and can introduce bias; moreover, possibly important information on how multichannel systems behave will be missed. We have extended existing theory to multichannel systems by applying results from point process theory to derive some distributional properties of the various types of sojourn time that occur when a given number of channels are open in a system containing a specified number of independent channels in equilibrium. Separate development of properties of a single channel and the superposition of several such independent channels simplifies the presentation of known results and extensions. To illustrate the general theory, particular attention is given to the types of sojourn time that occur in a two channel system; detailed expressions are presented for a selection of models, both Markov and non-Markov.

Dual-channel spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is one of the effective methods for improving imaging depth and imaging speed. In this paper, we design a dual-channel SD-OCT system based on a single spectrometer that can operate in two modes: (1) Increasing imaging speed and (2) expanding imaging depth. An optical path offset is preintroduced between the two channels to separate the two-channel data. However, this offset increases the requirement for the spectral resolution of the spectrometer in mode (1), so compressive sensing (CS) technology is used herein to overcome this problem. Consequently, in mode (1), when the spectral resolution of the spectrometer is the same as that used in the single-channel system, we use a dual-channel SD-OCT system combined with CS technology to double the imaging speed. In mode (2), when the spectral resolution of the spectrometer is only half of that used in a single-channel system, the imaging depth can be nearly doubled. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method proposed in this work by imaging a mirror, a fish fin, a fish eye, and an onion.

AbstractEmphasis in the design of the Canadian Geophysical LBI (CGLBI) system has been placed on economy, operational efficiency, and performance in geophysical applications. Unique features of the system include the use of modified VHS recorders to store digitized astronomical data and the capability to track delay and fringe rotation during observation. A prototype system has been completed and tested at L-band using the ARO-DRAO interferometer baseline. The prototype system converts a single fixed 12 Mhz wide IF channel to baseband. Since delay resolution with this system is not sufficient for modern geophysical applications a frequency switching capability is being designed to synthesize a wide IF bandwidth while still maintaining the economy of a single channel system. Further improvements include the design of a phase cal detector and an input module compatible with NASA geodetic S/X receivers. Finally, efforts are being coordinated with ISTS so that record terminals developed for the Radioastron project can be interfaced to the CGLBI system.
