The most common manufacturing techniques include manual needle injection, stencil printing, direct writing, and vacuum filling, with manual needle injection being the most prevalent due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, this method often results in high failure rates and inconsistent outcomes due to manual variability. Other techniques also present challenges, such as high setup costs and limitations based on material stiffness. To address these issues, a needle injection with an auxiliary suction method has been introduced. This approach enhances manufacturing success and consistency, especially in multilayered microchannel structures with varying material stiffness. The incorporation of auxiliary suction reduces fabrication time by 25.3% and decreases pressure on the microfluidic channels by 10.3%, leading to more stable and reliable production of multilayered microchannel soft sensors. This method is expected to significantly advance liquid metal-based applications by providing a more efficient, affordable, and reliable fabrication process.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"23948-23957"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is the first to demonstrate a narrowband PM OPD with a peak response at 480 nm, using a P3HT:PCBM active layer. The detector demonstrated a rejection ratio (EQE<sub>480 nm</sub>/EQE<sub>570 nm</sub>) of 590, and a full width half maximum (FWHM) of 67 nm with 1000 nm thick ZnPc as photon field modulation layer. As the ZnPc layer thickness is increased from 200 nm to 1500 nm, the FWHM of the detector narrowed from 175 nm to 67 nm.

These methods ignore the differences in target features in the RGB domain and the TIR domain. At the same time, existing RGBT trackers match the spatial features of the initial template and the search image, ignoring the role of temporal information in RGBT tracking, resulting in the failure of the tracker to track in complex scenarios such as change in the appearance of the target and occlusion. To address the above problems, we propose a simple and efficient tracker called STTrack. The tracker adopts a symmetric dual-stream structure, which consists of several fine tuning transformer (FT Transformer) encoders, a prediction head, and an online update module. Specifically, the FT Transformer encoder first adds some trainable parameters to the frozen pretrained RGB-based tracker, transfers the feature extraction capability from the RGB domain to the TIR domain, and enhances the model’s perception of cross-modal data; second, the output features of the RGB and TIR modalities are fused and fed into the prediction head to obtain the target’s position; finally, the online update module obtains an online template with temporal information, which complements the spatial information provided by the initial template. The spatio-temporal information provided by the dual templates improves the RGBT tracker’s ability to locate targets in complex environments. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on four most popular RGBT benchmarks and runs at 32 FPS in real time.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"25386-25396"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144550273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel hybrid distributed moving horizon estimation (DMHE) framework that combines both local measurements and prior estimates from neighboring nodes. The local estimation is performed in real time by solving an optimization problem that fuses these two information sources, thereby enhancing accuracy and robustness. A key advantage of our framework lies in designing the consensus prior weighting parameters offline via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), providing a more flexible and scalable approach to improving global estimation performance. Furthermore, under disturbance boundedness, collective observability, and network connectivity, we prove that the global estimation error converges exponentially to a well-defined bound. The proposed framework generalizes two distinct DMHE approaches—consensus on prior estimates and consensus on measurements. Numerical results on a mobile robot localization task demonstrate its superior performance, underscoring both its theoretical soundness and practical feasibility.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"26032-26041"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144550701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, we present an amplitude-phase fusion (APF) scheme based on Spearman’s correlation coefficient, which uses the nonlinear correlation between antenna pairs to realize an effective fusion of amplitude and phase information at different locations.

Laboratory samples of carbon steel are exposed to chloride salt solutions (NaCl and KCl) in concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 1.0 M. Images of these samples are captured using a hyperspectral sensor in the visible-near-infrared range [400–1000 nm]. Spectral and spatial features, namely principal components, windowed gradients (WGs), and local binary patterns (LBPs) are extracted from the hyperspectral images. The HSI feature vectors are then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) to detect corrosion. Literature in HSI for corrosion detection emphasizes the spectral features while neglecting the important information that can be gleaned from the spatial domain, for example, textural features. This work demonstrates that the combination of spectral and textural information in corrosion detection can outperform spectral or spatial information alone. The SVM trained on the laboratory samples is then applied to hyperspectral images of an SNM package. Here, the results show a consistency of the joint spectral and textural feature vector giving an excellent indication of where corrosion products have formed. This work introduces a novel nondestructive (ND) and noncontact method for assessing corrosion products on steel surfaces, significantly reducing the visual ambiguity in corrosion detection. Our proposed dual-feature HSI approach marks a significant advancement in the field, providing a more accurate and comprehensive means of detecting corrosion products when compared to existing approaches that focus on spectral or spatial features in isolation.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"25373-25385"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144550638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
