Arbitrary waveform AC line filtering applicable to hundreds of volts based on aqueous electrochemical capacitors.

ABSTRACT: Filtering capacitor is a necessary component in the modern electronic circuit. Traditional filtering capacitor is often limited by its bulky and rigid configuration and narrow workable scope of applications. Here, an aqueous hybrid electrochemical capacitor is developed for alternating current line filtering with an applicable wide frequency range from 1 to 10,000 Hz. This capacitor possesses an areal specific energy density of 438 μF V² cm^-2 at 120 Hz, which to the best of our knowledge is record high among aqueous electrochemical capacitors reported so far. It can convert arbitrary alternating current waveforms and even noises to straight signals. After integration of capacitor units, a workable voltage up to hundreds of volts (e.g., 200 V) could be achieved without sacrificing its filtering capability. The integrated features of wide frequency range and high workable voltage for this capacitor present promise for multi-scenario and applicable filtering capacitors of practical importance.

Project description:Objective.Researchers are developing biomedical devices with embedded closed-loop algorithms for providing advanced adaptive therapies. As these devices become more capable and algorithms become more complex, tasked with integrating and interpreting multi-channel, multi-modal electrophysiological signals, there is a need for flexible bench-top testing and prototyping. We present a methodology for leveraging off-the-shelf audio equipment to construct a biosignal waveform generator capable of streaming pre-recorded biosignals from a host computer. By re-playing known, well-characterized, but physiologically relevant real-world biosignals into a device under test, researchers can evaluate their systems without the need for expensivein vivoexperiments.Approach.An open-source design based on the proposed methodology is described and validated, the NeuroDAC. NeuroDAC allows for 8 independent channels of biosignal playback using a simple, custom designed attenuation and buffering circuit. Applications can communicate with the device over a USB interface using standard audio drivers. On-board analog amplitude adjustment is used to maximize the dynamic range for a given signal and can be independently tuned for each channel.Main results.Low noise component selection yields a no-signal noise floor of just 5.35 ± 0.063. NeuroDAC's frequency response is characterized with a high pass -3 dB rolloff at 0.57 Hz, and is capable of accurately reproducing a wide assortment of biosignals ranging from EMG, EEG, and ECG to extracellularly recorded neural activity. We also present an application example using the device to test embedded algorithms on a closed-loop neural modulation device, the Medtronic RC+S.Significance.By making the design of NeuroDAC open-source we aim to present an accessible tool for rapidly prototyping new biomedical devices and algorithms than can be easily modified based on individual testing needs.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT04281134, NCT03437928, NCT03582891.
