At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.展开更多

文摘The widely used Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor(SHWFS)is a wavefront measurement system.Its measurement accuracy is limited by the reference wavefront used for calibration and also by various residual errors of the sensor itself.In this study,based on the principle of spherical wavefront calibration,a pinhole with a diameter of 1μm was used to generate spherical wavefronts with extremely small wavefront errors,with residual aberrations of 1.0×10^(−4)λRMS,providing a high-accuracy reference wavefront.In the first step of SHWFS calibration,we demonstrated a modified method to solve for three important parameters(f,the focal length of the microlens array(MLA),p,the sub-aperture size of the MLA,and s,the pixel size of the photodetector)to scale the measured SHWFS results.With only three iterations in the calculation,these parameters can be determined as exact values,with convergence to an acceptable accuracy.For a simple SHWFS with an MLA of 128×128 sub-apertures in a square configuration and a focal length of 2.8 mm,a measurement accuracy of 5.0×10^(−3)λRMS was achieved across the full pupil diameter of 13.8 mm with the proposed spherical wavefront calibration.The accuracy was dependent on the residual errors induced in manufacturing and assembly of the SHWFS.After removing these residual errors in the measured wavefront results,the accuracy of the SHWFS increased to 1.0×10^(−3)λRMS,with measured wavefronts in the range ofλ/4.Mid-term stability of wavefront measurements was confirmed,with residual deviations of 8.04×10^(−5)λPV and 7.94×10^(−5)λRMS.This study demonstrates that the modified calibration method for a high-accuracy spherical wavefront generated from a micrometer-scale pinhole can effectively improve the accuracy of an SHWFS.Further accuracy improvement was verified with correction of residual errors,making the method suitable for challenging wavefront measurements such as in lithography lenses,astronomical telescope systems,and adaptive optics.

文摘The complex wiring,bulky data collection devices,and difficulty in fast and on-site data interpretation significantly limit the practical application of flexible strain sensors as wearable devices.To tackle these challenges,this work develops an artificial intelligenceassisted,wireless,flexible,and wearable mechanoluminescent strain sensor system(AIFWMLS)by integration of deep learning neural network-based color data processing system(CDPS)with a sandwich-structured flexible mechanoluminescent sensor(SFLC)film.The SFLC film shows remarkable and robust mechanoluminescent performance with a simple structure for easy fabrication.The CDPS system can rapidly and accurately extract and interpret the color of the SFLC film to strain values with auto-correction of errors caused by the varying color temperature,which significantly improves the accuracy of the predicted strain.A smart glove mechanoluminescent sensor system demonstrates the great potential of the AIFWMLS system in human gesture recognition.Moreover,the versatile SFLC film can also serve as a encryption device.The integration of deep learning neural network-based artificial intelligence and SFLC film provides a promising strategy to break the“color to strain value”bottleneck that hinders the practical application of flexible colorimetric strain sensors,which could promote the development of wearable and flexible strain sensors from laboratory research to consumer markets.

文摘Ten physical and environmental variables collected from an on-the-go soil sensor at two field sites (MF3E and MF11S) in Mississippi, USA, were analyzed to assess soil variability and the interrelationships among the measurements. At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.

文摘In recent decades,capacitive pressure sensors(CPSs)with high sensitivity have demonstrated significant potential in applications such as medical monitoring,artificial intelligence,and soft robotics.Efforts to enhance this sensitivity have predominantly focused on material design and structural optimization,with surface microstructures such as wrinkles,pyramids,and micro-pillars proving effective.Although finite element modeling(FEM)has guided enhancements in CPS sensitivity across various surface designs,a theoretical understanding of sensitivity improvements remains underexplored.This paper employs sinusoidal wavy surfaces as a representative model to analytically elucidate the underlying mechanisms of sensitivity enhancement through contact mechanics.These theoretical insights are corroborated by FEM and experimental validations.Our findings underscore that optimizing material properties,such as Young’s modulus and relative permittivity,alongside adjustments in surface roughness and substrate thickness,can significantly elevate the sensitivity.The optimal performance is achieved when the amplitude-to-wavelength ratio(H/)is about 0.2.These results offer critical insights for designing ultrasensitive CPS devices,paving the way for advancements in sensor technology.

文摘Liquid leakage of pipeline networks not only results in considerableresource wastage but also leads to environmental pollution and ecological imbalance.In response to this global issue, a bioinspired superhydrophobic thermoplastic polyurethane/carbon nanotubes/graphene nanosheets flexible strain sensor (TCGS) hasbeen developed using a combination of micro-extrusion compression molding andsurface modification for real-time wireless detection of liquid leakage. The TCGSutilizes the synergistic effects of Archimedean spiral crack arrays and micropores,which are inspired by the remarkable sensory capabilities of scorpions. This designachieves a sensitivity of 218.13 at a strain of 2%, which is an increase of 4300%. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional durability bywithstanding over 5000 usage cycles. The robust superhydrophobicity of the TCGS significantly enhances sensitivity and stability indetecting small-scale liquid leakage, enabling precise monitoring of liquid leakage across a wide range of sizes, velocities, and compositionswhile issuing prompt alerts. This provides critical early warnings for both industrial pipelines and potential liquid leakage scenariosin everyday life. The development and utilization of bioinspired ultrasensitive flexible strain sensors offer an innovative and effectivesolution for the early wireless detection of liquid leakage.
