Millimeter-Wave Bat for Mapping and Quantifying Micromotions in Full Field of View.

ABSTRACT: Echolocating bats possess remarkable capability of multitarget spatial localization and micromotion sensing in a full field of view (FFOV) even in cluttered environments. Artificial technologies with such capability are highly desirable for various fields. However, current techniques such as visual sensing and laser scanning suffer from numerous fundamental problems. Here, we develop a bioinspired concept of millimeter-wave (mmWave) full-field micromotion sensing, creating a unique mmWave Bat ("mmWBat"), which can map and quantify tiny motions spanning macroscopic to μm length scales of full-field targets simultaneously and accurately. In mmWBat, we show that the micromotions can be measured via the interferometric phase evolution tracking from range-angle joint dimension, integrating with full-field localization and tricky clutter elimination. With our approach, we demonstrate the capacity to solve challenges in three disparate applications: multiperson vital sign monitoring, full-field mechanical vibration measurement, and multiple sound source localization and reconstruction (radiofrequency microphone). Our work could potentially revolutionize full-field micromotion monitoring in a wide spectrum of applications, while may inspiring novel biomimetic wireless sensing systems.

A reflective millimeter-wave photonic limiter.

Project description:Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communications and radar receivers must be protected from high-power signals, which can damage their sensitive components. Many of these systems arguably can be protected by using photonic limiting techniques, in addition to electronic limiting circuits in receiver front-ends. Here we demonstrate, experimentally and numerically, a free-space, reflective mm-wave limiter based on a multilayer structure involving a nanolayer of vanadium dioxide VO2, which experiences a heat-related insulator-to-metal phase transition. The multilayer acts as a variable reflector, controlled by the incident wave intensity. At low intensities VO2 remains dielectric, and the multilayer exhibits strong resonant transmittance. When the incident intensity exceeds a threshold level, the emerging metallic phase renders the multilayer highly reflective while safely dissipating a small portion of the input power, without damage to the limiter. In the case of a Gaussian beam, the limiter has a nearly constant output above the limiting threshold input.

Full-wave modeling of broadband near field scanning microwave microscopy.

Project description:A three-dimensional finite element numerical modeling for the scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) setup is applied to study the full-wave quantification of the local material properties of samples. The modeling takes into account the radiation and scattering losses of the nano-sized probe neglected in previous models based on low-frequency assumptions. The scanning techniques of approach curves and constant height are implemented. In addition, we conclude that the SMM has the potential for use as a broadband dielectric spectroscopy operating at higher frequencies up to THz. The results demonstrate the accuracy of previous models. We draw conclusions in light of the experimental results.

Millimeter wave radar data of people walking.

Project description:This dataset contains complex signals coming from a mmWave FMCW radar system. Signals were acquired during a measurement campaign taken indoor and aimed to assess people's different ways of walking. Measurement setup and devices are described. The dataset consists of the acquisitions of six different types of activities, performed by 29 subjects who repeat each activity several times. Therefore, the dataset contains multiple different experiments for each activity, for a total of 231 acquisitions. The subjects walk without any constraint or do not follow any pattern, thus making this dataset useful not only for human gait recognition but also to evaluate the performance of different radar data processing algorithms.

Spatially encoded fast single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy with full field-of-view.

Project description:We report a simple single-molecule fluorescence imaging method that increases the temporal resolution of any type of array detector by >5-fold with full field-of-view. We spread single-molecule spots to adjacent pixels by rotating a mirror in the detection path during the exposure time of a single frame, which encodes temporal information into the spatial domain. Our approach allowed us to monitor fast blinking of an organic dye, the dissociation kinetics of very short DNA and conformational changes of biomolecules with much improved temporal resolution than the conventional method. Our technique is useful when a large field-of-view is required, for example, in the case of weakly interacting biomolecules or cellular imaging.

Full-Field Strain Mapping at a Ge/Si Heterostructure Interface.

Project description:The misfit dislocations and strain fields at a Ge/Si heterostructure interface were investigated experimentally using a combination of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and quantitative electron micrograph analysis methods. The type of misfit dislocation at the interface was determined to be 60° dislocation and 90° full-edge dislocation. The full-field strains at the Ge/Si heterostructure interface were mapped by using the geometric phase analysis (GPA) and peak pairs analysis (PPA), respectively. The effect of the mask size on the GPA and PPA results was analyzed in detail. For comparison, the theoretical strain fields of the misfit dislocations were also calculated by the Peierls-Nabarro and Foreman dislocation models. The results showed that the optimal mask sizes in GPA and PPA were approximately three tenths and one-tenth of the reciprocal lattice vector, respectively. The Foreman dislocation model with an alterable factor a = 4 can best describe the strain field of the misfit dislocation at the Ge/Si heterostructure interface.

Millimeter Wave Radiations Affect Membrane Hydration in Phosphatidylcholine Vesicles.

Project description:A clear understanding of the response of biological systems to millimeter waves exposure is of increasing interest for the scientific community due to the recent convincing use of these radiations in the ultrafast wireless communications. Here we report a deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (²H-NMR) investigation on the effects of millimeter waves in the 53-78 GHz range on phosphocholine bio-mimetic membranes. Millimeter waves significantly affect the polar interface of the membrane causing a decrease of the heavy water quadrupole splitting. This effect is as important as inducing the transition from the fluid to the gel phase when the membrane exposure occurs in the neighborhood of the transition point. On the molecular level, the above effect can be well explained by membrane dehydration induced by the radiation.

Thermal mechanisms of millimeter wave stimulation of excitable cells.

Project description:Interactions between millimeter waves (MMWs) and biological systems have received increasing attention due to the growing use of MMW radiation in technologies ranging from experimental medical devices to telecommunications and airport security. Studies have shown that MMW exposure alters cellular function, especially in neurons and muscles. However, the biophysical mechanisms underlying such effects are still poorly understood. Due to the high aqueous absorbance of MMW, thermal mechanisms are likely. However, nonthermal mechanisms based on resonance effects have also been postulated. We studied MMW stimulation in a simplified preparation comprising Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing proteins that underlie membrane excitability. Using electrophysiological recordings simultaneously with 60 GHz stimulation, we observed changes in the kinetics and activity levels of voltage-gated potassium and sodium channels and a sodium-potassium pump that are consistent with a thermal mechanism. Furthermore, we showed that MMW stimulation significantly increased the action potential firing rate in oocytes coexpressing voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels, as predicted by thermal terms in the Hodgkin-Huxley model of neurons. Our results suggest that MMW stimulation produces significant thermally mediated effects on excitable cells via basic thermodynamic mechanisms that must be taken into account in the study and use of MMW radiation in biological systems.

High efficiency photomodulators for millimeter wave and THz radiation.

Project description:Photomodulators for mm-wave and THz radiation are an essential component for many imaging and signal processing applications. While a myriad of schemes have been devised to enhance photomodulation by enhancing the light-matter interaction, there has been less focus on the photoconductive materials themselves, which are often the limiting factor. Here, we present an approach to increase the photomodulation efficiency of silicon by orders of magnitude, using post treatment of off-the-shelf silicon wafers. The increase in efficiency removes the need for bulky and costly amplified laser sources, and creates the potential for compact and cost-effective modulators for real-world applications. By passivating the surfaces of long bulk-lifetime silicon wafers with Al2O3, the recombination of the photoexcited carriers at the surfaces is mostly eliminated. This results in vastly longer excess carrier lifetimes (up to ~50 ms), with corresponding increases in photoconductivity. The resulting modulators are highly efficient, with the transmission through them being reduced from ~90% to <10% over a narrow frequency band with a continuous wave excitation intensity of just 10 Wm-2, whilst modulation factors of greater than 80% can be achieved over a broad band with similar intensities. We also discuss the limitations of such long-lifetime modulators for applications where the switching speed or spatial resolution of a modulator may be critical.

Quantifying full-length circular RNAs in cancer

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found abundantly expressed in cancer. Their resistance to exonucleases enables them to have potentially stable interactions with with different types of biomolecules. Alternative splicing can create different circRNA isoforms that have different sequences and unequal interaction potentials. The study of circRNA function thus requires knowledge of complete circRNA sequences. Here we describe psirc, a method that can identify full-length circRNA isoforms and quantify their expression levels using RNA sequencing data. We confirm the effectiveness and computational efficiency of psirc using both simulated and actual experimental data. Applying psirc on transcriptome profiles from nasopharyngeal carcinoma and normal nasopharynx samples, we discovered circRNA isoforms differentially expressed between the two groups. Compared to the assumed circular isoforms derived from linear transcript annotations, some of the alternatively spliced circular isoforms have 100 times higher expression and contain fewer microRNA response elements, demonstrating the importance of quantifying full-length circRNA isoforms.

Photodissociation transition states characterized by chirped pulse millimeter wave spectroscopy.

Project description:The 193-nm photolysis of CH2CHCN illustrates the capability of chirped-pulse Fourier transform millimeter-wave spectroscopy to characterize transition states. We investigate the HCN, HNC photofragments in highly excited vibrational states using both frequency and intensity information. Measured relative intensities of J = 1-0 rotational transition lines yield vibrational-level population distributions (VPD). These VPDs encode the properties of the parent molecule transition state at which the fragment molecule was born. A Poisson distribution formalism, based on the generalized Franck-Condon principle, is proposed as a framework for extracting information about the transition-state structure from the observed VPD. We employ the isotopologue CH2CDCN to disentangle the unimolecular 3-center DCN elimination mechanism from other pathways to HCN. Our experimental results reveal a previously unknown transition state that we tentatively associate with the HCN eliminated via a secondary, bimolecular reaction.
