Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a method of detecting variation in blood volume commonly through contact with the skin and involving the usage of one or multiple sensors. PPG is typically used in health-related fields and one of its most popular uses is heart rate monitoring. Recent developments in technology have introduced wearable smart devices that can detect PPG signals. These devices mostly rely on signals that are detected at a single location, indicating that such devices require the signal waveform to be immensely reliable. In further detail, the properties of the blood circulation system are being deducted from the heartbeat signal profile. One disadvantage is that the waveform can be affected by tissues that surround the blood vessels. This may result in the unreliability of the methods utilized by many wearable smart devices. This paper introduces an experimental study on the deformation of waveform change caused by sensor binding force. The results of the study are that an increase in sensor binding force decreases the width of the pump strength-related pulse.

Six-axes force/torque sensors are increasingly needed in mechanical engineering. Here, we introduce a flexure-based design for such sensors, which solves some of the drawbacks of the existing designs. In particular, it is backlash-free, it can be wirelessly monitored, it exactly enforces 90 degrees angles between axes, and it enables visual inspection of the monitored system thanks to its hollow structure. We first describe the generic design, implementation and calibration procedure. We then demonstrate its capabilities through three illustration examples relevant to the field of tribology: low friction measurements under ultra-high vacuum, multi-directional friction measurements of elastomer contacts, and force/torque-based contact position monitoring.
The current work proposes a method for pulsed-light polarization of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electron spin. To evaluate the influence of pulsed spin polarization, we establish a polarization evaluation index based on polarizability and polarization time. Master equation model are utilized to theoretically calculate the spin polarization dynamics under light excitation and the optimal polarization conditions for the conventional methods are obtained. A novel pulsed-light polarization method is proposed by changing the optical pumping rate in the master equation from a fixed value to a time variable and an optimal waveform for proposed method is demonstrated through the variational method, which can simultaneously achieve high polarizability and requires a short polarization time. Hence, the polarization evaluation index is improved by ~10%. Moreover, the proposed method is verified by a pulsed-laser experimental system based on an arbitrary waveform generator. The current report shall expand the application horizon of NV center based quantum sensing.
We show that a single photon pulse (SPP) incident on two interacting two-level atoms induces a transient entanglement force between them. After absorption of a multi-mode Fock state pulse, the time-dependent atomic interaction mediated by the vacuum fluctuations changes from the van der Waals interaction to the resonant dipole-dipole interaction (RDDI). We explicitly show that the RDDI force induced by the SPP fundamentally arises from the two-body transient entanglement between the atoms. This SPP induced entanglement force can be continuously tuned from being repulsive to attractive by varying the polarization of the pulse. We further demonstrate that the entanglement force can be enhanced by more than three orders of magnitude if the atomic interactions are mediated by graphene plasmons. These results demonstrate the potential of shaped SPPs as a powerful tool to manipulate this entanglement force and also provides a new approach to witness transient atom-atom entanglement.
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue has been investigated extensively by various research groups over the past fifty years. These properties are particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In this research, we present the design and calibration of a High Rate Tension Device (HRTD) capable of performing tests up to a maximum strain rate of 90/s. We use experimental and numerical methods to investigate the effects of inhomogeneous deformation of porcine brain tissue during tension at different specimen thicknesses (4.0-14.0 mm), by performing tension tests at a strain rate of 30/s. One-term Ogden material parameters (mu = 4395.0 Pa, alpha = -2.8) were derived by performing an inverse finite element analysis to model all experimental data. A similar procedure was adopted to determine Youngs modulus (E= 11200 Pa) of the linear elastic regime. Based on this analysis, brain specimens of aspect ratio (diameter/thickness) S < 1.0 are required to minimise the effects of inhomogeneous deformation during tension tests.
We show that the recoils of the body caused by cardiac motion and blood circulation provide a noninvasive method capable to display the motions of the heart muscle and the propagation of the pulse wave along aorta and its branches. The results are compared with the data obtained invasively during a heart catheterization. We show that the described noninvasive method is able to determine the moment of a particular heart movement or the time when the pulse wave reaches certain morphological structure.
