The human body is punctuated with wide array of sensory systems that provide a high evolutionary advantage by facilitating formation of a detailed picture of the immediate surroundings. The sensors range across a wide spectrum, acquiring input from non-contact audio-visual means to contact based input via pressure and temperature. The ambit of sensing can be extended further by imparting the body with increased non-contact sensing capability through the phenomenon of electrostatics. Here we present graphene-based tattoo sensor for proximity sensing, employing the principle of electrostatic gating. The sensor shows a remarkable change in resistance upon exposure to objects surrounded with static charge on them. Compared to prior work in this field, the sensor has demonstrated the highest recorded proximity detection range of 20 cm. It is ultra-thin, highly skin conformal and comes with a facile transfer process such that it can be tattooed on highly curvilinear rough substrates like the human skin, unlike other graphene-based proximity sensors reported before. Present work details the operation of wearable proximity sensor while exploring the effect of mounting body on the working mechanism. A possible role of the sensor as an alerting system against unwarranted contact with objects in public places especially during the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has also been explored in the form of an LED bracelet whose color is controlled by the proximity sensor attached to it.

Goal: This paper presents an algorithm for accurately estimating pelvis, thigh, and shank kinematics during walking using only three wearable inertial sensors. Methods: The algorithm makes novel use of a constrained Kalman filter (CKF). The algorithm
iterates through the prediction (kinematic equation), measurement (pelvis position pseudo-measurements, zero velocity update, flat-floor assumption, and covariance limiter), and constraint update (formulation of hinged knee joints and ball-and-socket hip joints). Results: Evaluation of the algorithm using an optical motion capture-based sensor-to-segment calibration on nine participants ($7$ men and $2$ women, weight $63.0 pm 6.8$ kg, height $1.70 pm 0.06$ m, age $24.6 pm 3.9$ years old), with no known gait or lower body biomechanical abnormalities, who walked within a $4 times 4$ m$^2$ capture area shows that it can track motion relative to the mid-pelvis origin with mean position and orientation (no bias) root-mean-square error (RMSE) of $5.21 pm 1.3$ cm and $16.1 pm 3.2^circ$, respectively. The sagittal knee and hip joint angle RMSEs (no bias) were $10.0 pm 2.9^circ$ and $9.9 pm 3.2^circ$, respectively, while the corresponding correlation coefficient (CC) values were $0.87 pm 0.08$ and $0.74 pm 0.12$. Conclusion: The CKF-based algorithm was able to track the 3D pose of the pelvis, thigh, and shanks using only three inertial sensors worn on the pelvis and shanks. Significance: Due to the Kalman-filter-based algorithms low computation cost and the relative convenience of using only three wearable sensors, gait parameters can be computed in real-time and remotely for long-term gait monitoring. Furthermore, the system can be used to inform real-time gait assistive devices.
The observation of micron size spin relaxation makes graphene a promising material for applications in spintronics requiring long distance spin communication. However, spin dependent scatterings at the contact/graphene interfaces affect the spin inje
ction efficiencies and hence prevent the material from achieving its full potential. While this major issue could be eliminated by nondestructive direct optical spin injection schemes, graphenes intrinsically low spin orbit coupling strength and optical absorption place an obstacle in their realization. We overcome this challenge by creating sharp artificial interfaces between graphene and WSe2 monolayers. Application of a circularly polarized light activates the spin polarized charge carriers in the WSe2 layer due to its spin coupled valley selective absorption. These carriers diffuse into the superjacent graphene layer, transport over a 3.5 um distance, and are finally detected electrically using BN/Co contacts in a non local geometry. Polarization dependent measurements confirm the spin origin of the non local signal.
The study of the interaction between graphene oxide and arsenic is of great relevance towards the development of adsorbent materials and as a way to understand how these two materials interact in the environment. In this work we show that As(III) ads
orption, primarily H3AsO3, by graphene oxide is dependent on its degree of oxidation. Variations in the concentration of potassium permanganate resulted in an increase on the C/O ratio from 1.98 to 1.35 with C-OH and C-O-C concentrations of 18 and 32%, respectively. Three oxidation degrees were studied, the less oxidized material reached a maximum As(III) adsorption capacity of 124 mg/g, whereas the graphene with the highest degree of oxidation reached a value of 288 mg/g at pH 7, to the authors knowledge, the highest reported in the literature. The interaction between graphene oxide and As(III) was also studied by Density Functional Theory (DFT) computer models showing that graphene oxide interacts with As(III) primarily through hydrogen bonds, having interaction energies with the hydroxyl and epoxide groups of 378 and 361 kcal/mol, respectively. Finally, cytotoxicity tests showed that the graphene oxide had a cellular viability of 57% with 50 {mu}g/ml, regardless of its degree of oxidation.
This paper presents an algorithm that makes novel use of distance measurements alongside a constrained Kalman filter to accurately estimate pelvis, thigh, and shank kinematics for both legs during walking and other body movements using only three wea
rable inertial measurement units (IMUs). The distance measurement formulation also assumes hinge knee joint and constant body segment length, helping produce estimates that are near or in the constraint space for better estimator stability. Simulated experiments shown that inter-IMU distance measurement is indeed a promising new source of information to improve the pose estimation of inertial motion capture systems under a reduced sensor count configuration. Furthermore, experiments show that performance improved dramatically for dynamic movements even at high noise levels (e.g., $sigma_{dist} = 0.2$ m), and that acceptable performance for normal walking was achieved at $sigma_{dist} = 0.1$ m. Nevertheless, further validation is recommended using actual distance measurement sensors.
Incorporation of magnetism in graphene based compounds holds great promise for potential spintronic applications. By optimizing point defects and high edge density of defects, we report many-fold increase in the ferromagnetic saturation moment in lac
ey reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons (LRGONR) as compared to other graphene derivatives. The samples were synthesized using chemical unzipping methodology. Detailed structural and morphological characterizations are discussed that include XRD, Raman, SEM, HRTEM and XPS measurements. Brilluoin function analysis to magnetization data reflects best fit for J = 7/2 with a saturation moment of 1.1 emu/g. The microscopic origin of magnetization in LRGONR is assigned to high edge defect density which has also been correlated to microstructure.
