This can lead to issues with method accuracy and precision. This work is focused on the development of a simple, low-cost, automated system capable of performing potentiometric titrations with a push of a button. A single-board computer (Raspberry Pi), a stepper motor-based syringe pump, and a commercially available pH sensor circuit board were the primary components used to construct the auto-titrator system. Open-source Python programming language was used to control and coordinate components and provide a simple-to-use graphical user interface. A standard alkalinity method for drinking and raw water was evaluated and yielded an accuracy (recovery) between 92% and 104% for concentrations above 10 mg L−1. The precision of the method was less than 5% regardless of concentration. The developed titrator was tested at Lebanon, TN, and Woodruff, SC water treatment plants. The system was also certified by LabtronX to perform alkalinity measurements in Lebanon, TN, and served the plant operators for the past two years.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"574 - 590"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41637376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, a volatile particle remover with a combination of hot dilution and a thermodenuder (referred to as VPR-TD) was designed. The flow and temperature fields of the VPR-TD were simulated and analyzed by COMSOL Multiphysics software by which experimental verification and system performance tests were performed. The simulation showed that the effective heating length and residence time of the VPR-TD increased by 6 cm and 25%, respectively, as the dilution ratio increased from 1 to 10 at a total flow of 0.6 L/min at 350 °C. In addition, the experimental results showed that the penetration efficiency of 100 nm sodium chloride (non-volatile particles) in the VPR-TD was higher than 70.4%, and the removal efficiency of 30 nm tetracontane (volatile particles) was higher than 99% at a total flow 0.6 L/min, heating temperature 350 °C, and dilution ratios of 5 and 10. In summary, when the dilution ratio was set to 10, the device met the requirements of the Light Duty Vehicle Emission Limits and Measurement Methods (CHINA 6) for a volatile particle remover. At dilution ratio of 5, VPR-TD may be used as a pre-conditioning unit in portable emissions measurement systems.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"524 - 543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42404039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of these loading forces in health and disease are of interest to biologists, but the availability of affordable equipment for in vitro experimentation is an obstacle to research progress. Here, we report the development of a cost-effective hydropneumatic bioreactor system for research in mechanobiology. The bioreactor was assembled from readily available components (a closed-loop stepped motor and pneumatic actuator) and a minimal number of easily-machined crankshaft parts, whilst the cell culture chambers were custom designed by the biologists using CAD and entirely 3 D printed in PLA. The bioreactor system was shown to be capable of providing cyclic pulsed pressure waves at a user-defined amplitude and frequency ranging from 0 to 400 kPa and up to 3.5 Hz, which are physiologically relevant for cartilage. Tissue engineered cartilage was created from primary human chondrocytes and cultured in the bioreactor for five days with three hours/day cyclic pressure (300 kPa at 1 Hz), simulating moderate physical exercise. Bioreactor-stimulated chondrocytes significantly increased their metabolic activity (by 21%) and glycosaminoglycan synthesis (by 24%), demonstrating effective cellular transduction of mechanosensing. Our Open Design approach focused on using 'off-the-shelf' pneumatic hardware and connectors, open source software and in-house 3 D printing of bespoke cell culture containers to resolve long-standing problems in the availability of affordable bioreactors for laboratory research.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 3","pages":"273-289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10041975/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9224203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here a new approach to this issue of cardboard box packaging waste is proposed by adapting an image processing algorithm based on camera vision-based measurement that computes the optimal cuboid bounding algorithm of irregular shape products. The end result is utilized so that packaging workers select the appropriate product box. This approach may also be used as a preliminary process to optimize the packaging of many products into a single cardboard box. The system setup with two cameras is prepared to capture the overhead and sideview images, estimating the box’s width, depth, and height in pixels. This system may then evaluate feasible cuboids that minimize waste, in which the traditional Otsu’s thresholding method, proposed Otsu’s scheme, and 1-D gradient means are utilized to avoid inaccuracies created by shadows. Calibration is performed with a Rubik’s cube to convert the measurement from computer simulations to real-life dimensions. The computer simulations from the overhead and sideview images compared to the actual bounding box of the object show that the proposed algorithm yields superior performance by reducing the area error of the bounding box (%) of an overhead image and the height error (%) of a sideview image than the conventional Otsu’s method.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"495 - 513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41860436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify the alterations related to shelf time in commercial formulations containing dipyrone (metamizole) and to model the shelf time by Raman spectroscopy (830 nm, 350 mW). Spectra of nine commercial medicines containing dipyrone sodium were obtained during the validity period (valid samples) and after the expiration date (overdue samples) with shelf times ranging from 46 to 62 months. The spectra were compared to identify changes due to the dipyrone degradation and develop a model to estimate the shelf time. The Raman analysis of valid and overdue samples showed peaks due to the hydrolysis-oxidation of dipyrone: a blue-shift (N feature in the difference spectrum) of the bands assigned to aromatic and pyrazole rings due to the presence of the metabolite N-methylaminoantipyrine, a decrease in peaks related to the dissociation of − SO3Na due to the hydrolysis/oxidation, and an increase in peaks associated with sodium sulfate/disulfate. A regression model based upon principal component analysis (PCA) showed a strong correlation between shelf time and the PCA variable PC2 (Pearson’s correlation coefficient r = 0.804). The study showed the feasibility of Raman spectroscopy in identifying the degradation of dipyrone sodium to characterize the shelf time and use in the quality control of commercial medicines.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"479 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46135697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The forward problem model and sensitivity distribution matrix of electromagnetic tomography are introduced as the basis of the inverse problem. The search direction and iterative parameters of the conjugate gradient algorithm are modified to improve the quality and convergence of image reconstruction. A new spectral parameter conjugate gradient algorithm is described to modify the search direction, which is used to control the angle between the old and new search directions. The search direction is determined according to the iteration of each step in order to find the optimal solution. Combining the advantages of the Fletcher-Reeves and Polak-Ribiere-Polyak algorithms in the nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm, they are mixed in a specific proportion to obtain a new hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness of the modified conjugate gradient algorithm, three physical models of electromagnetic tomography system are constructed, and the modified conjugate gradient algorithm is compared with the traditional algorithm. The experimental results show that the reconstructed image quality of the modified spectral conjugate gradient algorithm is higher and has better numerical performance. The hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm highlights the advantages of the Fletcher-Reeves and Polak-Ribiere-Polyaks algorithms. The convergence speed is faster than the Polak-Ribiere-Polyak method, and the imaging quality is higher than the other algorithms.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"435 - 446"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41690902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
