A complex method of acoustic-electrical testing of defects in dielectric samples made from cement-sand and cement-glass mixtures is discussed. The paper reports the results of studies of changes in the parameters of electromagnetic responses and their spectra under pulsed deterministic acoustic excitation of model samples with defects in the form of solid-state inclusions. The results of mathematical calculations of the time variation in the stress-strain state induced in a defective dielectric model sample by deterministic acoustic pulse are presented. The relationship is shown between the parameters of the acoustic excitation and the electromagnetic response to the impact in a magnetic field. The study revealed that the specific electrical resistance of the cement-sand and cement-glass mixtures differs significantly. Excitation of electrical double layers by acoustic pulses causes an electromagnetic signal, parameters of which depend on the parameters of the acoustic impact and acoustic and electrical properties of the material. As a result, a reduced specific electrical resistance of the mixture increases its conductivity. The numerical calculation of the propagation of the deterministic acoustic pulse showed that its parameters change when it passes through a defect with acoustic impedance different from that of the mixture used.

The paper discusses the possibility of testing the air inclusions saturation in cement-sand samples using the acoustic-electrical transformations phenomenon in heterogeneous dielectric materials. An experiment technique is presented including contact external acoustic excitation and contactless registration of the electromagnetic response to such an impact. Methods of samples deterministic acoustic excitation by a ball impact and the experimental determination of the impact energy are described. The model samples size and composition are described, including air cavities in a polyethylene sheath. The experimental studies geometry is shown, indicating the direction of the samples acoustic excitation and the location of the electromagnetic receiving plates. It is shown that the defect-free samples and with air cavities, have different amplitude and frequency of the electromagnetic signals spectral components. The samples with air cavities have the average weight of the EMS spectrum changes towards lower frequencies. This frequency shift effectively reflects the concentration of air cavities defects in a cement-sand samples and this effect can be used when testing concrete products for the presence of air inclusions, and, accordingly, will allow determining the frost resistance of products.

Electrically conductive yarns (ECYs) are gaining increasing applications in woven textile materials, especially in woven sensors suitable for incorporation into clothing. In this paper, the effect of the yarn count of ECYs woven into fabric on values of electrical resistance is analyzed. We also observe how the direction of action of elongation force, considering the position of the woven ECY, effects the change in the electrical resistance of the electrically conductive fabric. The measurements were performed on nine different samples of fabric in a plain weave, into which were woven ECYs with three different yarn counts and three different directions. Relationship curves between values of elongation forces and elongation to break, as well as relationship curves between values of electrical resistance of fabrics with ECYs and elongation, were experimentally obtained. An analytical mathematical model was also established, and analysis was conducted, which determined the models of function of connection between force and elongation, and between electrical resistance and elongation. The connection between the measurement results and the mathematical model was confirmed. The connection between the mathematical model and the experimental results enables the design of ECY properties in woven materials, especially textile force and elongation sensors.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of parameters of embedded resistive elements manufacturing process as well as the influence of environmental factors on their electrical resistance. The investigations were made in comparison to the similar constructions of discrete chip resistors assembled to standard printed circuit boards (PCBs). Design/methodology/approach – The investigations were based on the thin-film resistors made of NiP alloy, thick-film resistors made of carbon or carbon-silver inks as well as chip resistors in 0402 and 0603 packages. The polymer thick-film resistive films were screen-printed on the several types finishing materials of contact terminations such as copper, silver, and gold. To determine the sensitivity of embedded resistors versus standard assembled chip resistors on environmental exposure, the climatic chamber was used. The measurements of resistance were carried out periodically during the tests, and after the exposure cycles. Findings – The results show that the change of electrical resistance of embedded resistors, in dependence of construction and base material, is different and mainly not exceed the range of 3 per cent. The achieved results in reference to thin-film resistors are comparable with results for standard chip resistors. However, the results that were obtained for thick-film resistors with Ag and Ni/Au contacts are similar. It was not found the big differences between resistors with and without conformal coating. Research limitations/implications – The studies show that embedded resistors can be used interchangeably with chip resistors. It allows to save the area on the surface of PCB, occupied by these passive elements, for assembly of active elements (ICs) and thus enable to miniaturization of electronic devices. But embedding of passive elements into PCB requires to tackle the effect of each forming process steps on the operational properties. Originality/value – The technique of passive elements embedding into PCB is generally known; however, there are no detailed reports on the impact of individual process steps and environmental conditions on the stability of their electrical resistance. The studies allow to understand the importance of each factor process and the mechanisms of operational properties changes depending on the used materials.

Abstract The physical processes occurring at open Na+ channels in neural fibers are essential for understanding the nature of neural signals and the mechanism by which the signals are generated and transmitted along nerves. However, there is less generally accepted description of these physical processes. We studied changes in the transmembrane ionic flux and the resulting two types of electromagnetic signals by simulating the Na+ transport across a bionic nanochannel model simplified from voltage-gated Na+ channels. Results show that the Na+ flux can reach a steady state in approximately 10 ns owing to the dynamic equilibrium of Na+ ions concentration difference between the both sides of membrane. After characterizing the spectrum and transmission of these two electromagnetic signals, the low-frequency transmembrane electric field is regarded as the physical quantity transmitting in waveguide-like lipid dielectric layer and triggering the neighboring voltage-gated channels. Factors influencing the Na+ flux transport are also studied. The impact of the Na+ concentration gradient is found higher than that of the initial transmembrane potential on the Na+ transport rate, and introducing the surface-negative charge in the upper third channel could increase the transmembrane Na+ current. This work can be further studied by improving the simulation model; however, the current work helps to better understand the electrical functions of voltage-gated ion channels in neural systems.

Background: “Remote aspiration,” using suction from the proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) to open terminus occlusions, has been reported in small case series. However, it remains unclear whether remote aspiration is feasible for middle cerebral artery occlusions in the setting of potential inflow from communicating arteries. We performed an in vitro study to assess whether suction applied at various locations proximal to an occlusion could successfully aspirate the clot. Methods: A glass model of 4 mm inner diameter (ID) with 1 mm distal narrowing and 2 mm side branch to simulate a communicating artery was constructed. A proximal side branch was placed to simulate inflow from the proximal ICA. The impact of three different-sized catheters (ID 0.088, 0.070, and 0.056 in) on histologically different (red blood cell-cell rich, fibrin-rich, and mixed) clot analogues was tested with the catheter tip placed remotely either distal or proximal to the collateral branch. Aspiration was attempted with (1) open system (flow in both the ICA and the collateral branch, (2) flow arrest with open collateral (no flow in the ICA, but flow in the collateral branch), and (3) closed system (no flow in either the ICA or the collateral branch). The outcome was success or failure of remote aspiration. Results: For the 0.088-in catheter, remote aspiration was successful in all conditions. For the 0.070-in catheter, remote aspiration was unsuccessful without proximal flow arrest, but was successful in all other scenarios. For the 0.056-in catheter, remote aspiration was successful only with complete flow arrest. Conclusions: In a noncollapsible system, remote aspiration can be successfully achieved even in the setting of prominent branch arteries by using relatively large aspiration catheters. Proximal flow arrest may facilitate successful remote aspiration for some catheter sizes.

Stepwise Loading

The paper assessed the possibility of using acoustic emission from the dielectric sample during stepwise loading. The electromagnetic signal from the sample was detected by using an apparatus of mechanical repeatedly pulsed excitation of the sample at each stage of loading. It was found that the response consists of a deterministic component (due to the excitation pulse) and random components noise and acoustic emission. It were allocated random components, calculated their standard deviations. The influence of the electromagnetic emission on standard deviation of the random component of response under step load on the specimen was evaluated. It has been shown that the component of the electromagnetic emission can be an informative parameter to evaluate defectiveness of the object of a dielectric material under load.
