Sound field separation with cross measurement surfaces.

ABSTRACT: With conventional near-field acoustical holography, it is impossible to identify sound pressure when the coherent sound sources are located on the same side of the array. This paper proposes a solution, using cross measurement surfaces to separate the sources based on the equivalent source method. Each equivalent source surface is built in the center of the corresponding original source with a spherical surface. According to the different transfer matrices between equivalent sources and points on holographic surfaces, the weighting of each equivalent source from coherent sources can be obtained. Numerical and experimental studies have been performed to test the method. For the sound pressure including noise after separation in the experiment, the calculation accuracy can be improved by reconstructing the pressure with Tikhonov regularization and the L-curve method. On the whole, a single source can be effectively separated from coherent sources using cross measurement.

Hyper-Cross-Linked Polymer-Decorated Surfaces with Ultrahigh Efficiency for Oil/Water Emulsion Separation and Recovery.

Project description:A novel superhydrophobic/superoleophilic surface has been developed by direct surface condensation of dichloroxylene that results in a controlled coating of hyper-cross-linked polymers. Specifically, the coating was successfully applied to a melamine formaldehyde sponge and optimized by fine-tuning the reaction variables. The resulting hierarchical porous sorbents stabilized by polydimethylsiloxane exhibited an increased surface area, good physiochemical stability, high selectivity, and adsorption capacities for a variety of oils and solvents. The composite can separate oil in water emulsions with ultrahigh separation efficiency >99% over 10 cycles in liter-scale experiments, wherein the highest separation efficiency was as low as 2 ppm even with a short period of filtration, suggesting strong potential for oil/water separation and recovery.

Near-field surface plasmon field enhancement induced by rippled surfaces.

Project description:The occurrence of plasmon resonances on metallic nanometer-scale structures is an intrinsically nanoscale phenomenon, given that the two resonance conditions (i.e., negative dielectric permittivity and large free-space wavelength in comparison with system dimensions) are realized at the same time on the nanoscale. Resonances on surface metallic nanostructures are often experimentally found by probing the structures under investigation with radiation of various frequencies following a trial-and-error method. A general technique for the tuning of these resonances is highly desirable. In this paper we address the issue of the role of local surface patterns in the tuning of these resonances as a function of wavelength and electric field polarization. The effect of nanoscale roughness on the surface plasmon polaritons of randomly patterned gold films is numerically investigated. The field enhancement and relation to specific roughness patterns is analyzed, producing many different realizations of rippled surfaces. We demonstrate that irregular patterns act as metal-dielectric-metal local nanogaps (cavities) for the resonant plasmonic field. In turn, the numerical results are compared to experimental data obtained via aperture scanning near-field optical microscopy.

Near-Field Electrospun Piezoelectric Fibers as Sound-Sensing Elements.

Project description:A novel integration of three-dimensional (3D) architectures of near-field electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nano-micro fibers (NMFs) is applied to an intelligent self-powered sound-sensing element (ISSE). Using 3D architecture with greatly enhanced piezoelectric output, the sound wave energy can be harvested under a sound pressure of 120+ dB SPL of electrical signal about 0.25 V. Furthermore, the simple throat vibrations such as hum, cough and swallow with different intensity or frequency can be distinguishably detected. Finally, the developed ultrathin ISSE of near-field electrospun piezoelectric fibers has the advantage of direct-write fabrication on highly flexible substrates and low cost. The proposed technique demonstrates the advancement of existing electrospinning technologies in new practical applications of sensing purposes such as voice control, wearable electronics, implantable human wireless technology.

Comparative organizational research starts with sound measurement: Validity and invariance of Turker's corporate social responsibility scale in five cross-cultural samples.

Project description:As organizational research turned its focus to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), interest also grew in the individual's perspective on CSR. When looking for cross-cultural comparisons of the effects of CSR, measurement invariance is of utter importance as a questionnaire might not be equivalent in all investigated samples and thus bias results. We examined a previously published questionnaire assessing different aspects of personal CSR ratings. Factorial validity and measurement invariance was tested by means of confirmatory factor analysis and Bayesian structural equation modeling in five samples (total N = 1120): 2 US-American, 2 German, and 1 English-speaking Indian sample. In an exploratory-confirmatory approach, the originally proposed factor structure was altered to finally comprise four facets of CSR: employee-related CSR, environmental CSR, philanthropy and customer-related CSR. Measurement invariance tests showed evidence for small differences of the English and German version as well as significant divergences of the measurement model in the Indian sample. In conclusion, we show the validity of the questionnaire for a circumscribed Western context but are hesitant about further transfers. Future research on perception of CSR in non-western contexts might depend on new and tailored questionnaires.

Wide field-of-hearing metalens for aberration-free sound capture.

Project description:Metalenses are instruments that manipulate waves and have exhibited remarkable capabilities to date. However, an important hurdle arises due to the severe hampering of the angular response originating from coma and field curvature aberrations, which result in a loss of focusing ability. Herein, we provide a blueprint by introducing the notion of a wide field-of-hearing (FOH) metalens, designed particularly for capturing and focusing sound with decreased aberrations. Employing an aberration-free planar-thin metalens that leverages perfect acoustic symmetry conversion, we experimentally realize a robust wide FOH capability of approximately 140∘ in angular range. Moreover, our metalens features a relatively short focal length, enabling compact implementation by reducing the aperture-to-hearing plane distance. This is beneficial for space-efficient source-tracking sound sensing. Our strategy can be used across various platforms, potentially including energy harvesting, monitoring, imaging, and communication in auditory, ultrasonic, and submerged environments.

Measurement of Free-Form Curved Surfaces Using Laser Triangulation.

Project description:Laser triangulation (LT) is widely used in many fields due to its good stability, high resolution and fast speed. However, the accuracy in these applications suffers from severe constraints on the data acquisition accuracy of LT. To solve this problem, the optical triangulation principle, the object equation of the optical path relationship and the deviation of the laser spot centroid are applied to deduce a mathematical model. Therefore, the image sensor inclination errors can be quantitatively calculated, and the collected data are compensated in real time. Further, a threshold sub-pixel gray-gravity (GG) extraction algorithm is proposed; the gradient function and Gaussian fit algorithm are used to set thresholds to remove the impact of the spot edge noise area on the center location; and polynomial interpolation is employed to enhance the data density of the traditional GG method, thus improving the data acquisition accuracy of LT. Finally, the above methods are applied to on-machine measurement of the American Petroleum Institute (API) thread and the screw rotor, respectively. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can significantly improve the measurement accuracy of free-form curved surfaces using LT and that the improved laser spot center extraction algorithm is more suitable for free-form curved surfaces with smaller curvature and more uniform curvature changes.

Attosecond optoelectronic field measurement in solids.

Project description:The sub-cycle interaction of light and matter is one of the key frontiers of inquiry made accessible by attosecond science. Here, we show that when light excites a pair of charge carriers inside of a solid, the transition probability is strongly localized to instants slightly after the extrema of the electric field. The extreme temporal localization is utilized in a simple electronic circuit to record the waveforms of infrared to ultraviolet light fields. This form of petahertz-bandwidth field metrology gives access to both the modulated transition probability and its temporal offset from the laser field, providing sub-fs temporal precision in reconstructing the sub-cycle electronic response of a solid state structure.

Field-mediated locomotor dynamics on highly deformable surfaces.

Project description:Studies of active matter-systems consisting of individuals or ensembles of internally driven and damped locomotors-are of interest to physicists studying nonequilibrium dynamics, biologists interested in individuals and swarm locomotion, and engineers designing robot controllers. While principles governing active systems on hard ground or within fluids are well studied, another class of systems exists at deformable interfaces. Such environments can display mixes of fluid-like and elastic features, leading to locomotor dynamics that are strongly influenced by the geometry of the surface, which, in itself, can be a dynamical entity. To gain insight into principles by which locomotors are influenced via a deformation field alone (and can influence other locomotors), we study robot locomotion on an elastic membrane, which we propose as a model of active systems on highly deformable interfaces. As our active agent, we use a differential driven wheeled robotic vehicle which drives straight on flat homogeneous surfaces, but reorients in response to environmental curvature. We monitor the curvature field-mediated dynamics of a single vehicle interacting with a fixed deformation as well as multiple vehicles interacting with each other via local deformations. Single vehicles display precessing orbits in centrally deformed environments, while multiple vehicles influence each other by local deformation fields. The active nature of the system facilitates a differential geometry-inspired mathematical mapping from the vehicle dynamics to those of test particles in a fictitious "spacetime," allowing further understanding of the dynamics and how to control agent interactions to facilitate or avoid multivehicle membrane-induced cohesion.

Synesthesia strengthens sound-symbolic cross-modal correspondences.

Project description:Synesthesia is a phenomenon in which an experience in one domain is accompanied by an involuntary secondary experience in another, unrelated domain; in classical synesthesia, these associations are arbitrary and idiosyncratic. Cross-modal correspondences refer to universal associations between seemingly unrelated sensory features, e.g., auditory pitch and visual size. Some argue that these phenomena form a continuum, with classical synesthesia being an exaggeration of universal cross-modal correspondences, whereas others contend that the two are quite different, since cross-modal correspondences are non-arbitrary, non-idiosyncratic, and do not involve secondary experiences. Here, we used the implicit association test to compare synesthetes' and non-synesthetes' sensitivity to cross-modal correspondences. We tested the associations between auditory pitch and visual elevation, auditory pitch and visual size, and sound-symbolic correspondences between auditory pseudowords and visual shapes. Synesthetes were more sensitive than non-synesthetes to cross-modal correspondences involving sound-symbolic, but not low-level sensory, associations. We conclude that synesthesia heightens universally experienced cross-modal correspondences, but only when these involve sound symbolism. This is only partly consistent with the idea of a continuum between synesthesia and cross-modal correspondences, but accords with the idea that synesthesia is a high-level, post-perceptual phenomenon, with spillover of the abilities of synesthetes into domains outside their synesthesias. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that synesthetes, relative to non-synesthetes, experience stronger cross-modal correspondences outside their synesthetic domains.

Effects of mechanical abrasion challenge on sound and demineralized dentin surfaces treated with SDF.

Project description:This study evaluated the effect of mechanical abrasion on the surface integrity, color change (ΔE) and antibacterial properties of demineralized and sound dentin surfaces treated with silver-diammine-fluoride (SDF). The dentin specimens were divided into two groups: sound and demineralized dentin, then divided into three sub-groups, control (no-treatment), SDF, and SDF + potassium-iodide (KI). Each sub-group was further divided into two groups, one exposed to mechanical brushing and the other without brushing. Specimens were analyzed for the ΔE, surface roughness/surface loss and antibacterial properties (CFU, optical density and fluorescent microscope). Repeated Measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis of color change while one-way ANOVA was used for CFU analysis. SDF and SDI + KI groups showed significant reduction in ΔE with brushing in the sound dentin group unlike the demineralized group. The surface roughness values were higher for both SDF and SDF + KI groups but roughness values significantly decreased after brushing. Both SDF and SDF + KI groups revealed significantly less surface loss than control. The SDF group showed high anti-bacterial effect after brushing, unlike SDF + KI group. So, we concluded that mechanical brushing improved the esthetic outcome. While, SDF and SDF + KI could protect the dentin surface integrity. SDF-treated dentin possesses an antibacterial property even after mechanical brushing.
