The smaller hardware architecture can expand its range of application scenarios. However, miniaturized ultrasound devices face the challenges in terms of image quality, frame rate, and power consumption. The achievement of high-quality and high-frame-rate imaging depends on numerous channels and higher pulse repetition frequency (PRF) at the cost of power consumption. The proposed work aims to design a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based prototype with synthetic aperture method for portable and cost-effective handheld ultrasound system. The prototype supports 8 transmit and receive channels and forms up to 8 synthetic apertures. In addition, to optimize the FPGA resources, the auto delay calculation and segmented apodizations are employed for 4 parallel beamforming lines. To evaluate the performance of our proposed prototype, scan sequences of B-mode, C-mode, and D-mode are implemented for image construction. The results show that the proposed prototype can provide a lateral resolution of 0.30 mm, a contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 7.58 dB, and a frame rate of 22 frames per second (FPS) in dual-mode imaging. Moreover, it is remarkable that the memory and logic resources in the FPGA (EP4CE55) account for 73.7% and 66.2%, respectively, which makes the FPGA's power consumption only about 530 mW. The proposed prototype is suitable for handheld and other miniaturized ultrasound imaging systems.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"5 ","pages":"107-115"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10747270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, they have been proposed as reliable memory units that enable the execution of various logic tasks with in-situ memory. A critical challenge remains the identification of optimal soliton and efficient manipulation techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on the manipulation of two-dimensional solitons, such as skyrmions, domain walls, and vortices, by applied currents. The discovery of novel methods to control magnetic parameters, such as the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, through strain, temperature gradients, and applied voltages offers new avenues for energetically efficient manipulation of magnetic structures. In this work, we present a comprehensive study using numerical and analytical methods to investigate the stability and motion of various magnetic textures under the influence of DMI gradients. Our results show that Néel and Bloch-type skyrmions, as well as radial vortices, exhibit motion characterized by finite skyrmion Hall angles, while circular vortices undergo expulsion dynamics.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors provide a reliable, label-free method for highly sensitive detection of food adulterants. In this study, we present a novel gallium sulfide (GaS)-immobilized optical fiber SPR sensor designed for the rapid, real-time detection of BB synthetic dye. The proposed sensor is comprised of a high birefringence layer (HBL) core with non-added formaldehyde (NaF) cladding, silver (Ag) as the plasmonic metal, and GaS for enhanced detection sensitivity. To determine the sensor performance, the wavelength-dependent response was measured at different refractive indices (RIs), together with sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM) over the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1000 nm. The parameters were evaluated in a sensing medium consisting of water and BB under concentrations ranging from 10 mM to 600 mM. Moreover, the distribution of electromagnetic fields across the multilayer structures of the sensor, particularly at the interfaces between Ag-GaS and GaS-analytes, was investigated. At a 10 mM concentration, the optimized Ag-GaS-based sensor, consisting of 70 nm Ag and 3 nm GaS layers at an incidence angle of 85°, achieves a maximum sensitivity of 5119.6 nm/RIU and FOM of 255.98 RIU\u0000-1\u0000.

Effective monitoring of zinc nitrate contamination is essential to protect aquatic ecosystems and also ensures the safety of aquaculture products. This study presents a bismuth-immobilized optical fiber-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for the rapid detection of zinc nitrate contamination. The sensor design incorporates a ZBLAN core, NaF cladding, silver (Ag) as a plasmonic metal, and bismuth (Bi) to enhance detection sensitivity. In our work, we compared the sensor performance of the proposed bismuth-immobilized SPR biosensor with the conventional Ag-based sensor design. The performance of the proposed Ag-Bi sensor model is compared with the conventional Ag-based sensor. To improve the sensitivity and FOM, Ag layer thickness is varied between 50 and 80 nm with respect to the zinc nitrate concentrations of 0%, 1%, and 5%. Using the angular interrogation method, the resonance wavelength shifts are correlated to changes in refractive index (RI). The Bi-immobilized Ag layer achieved a maximum sensitivity of 5680 nm/RIU at 5% zinc nitrate concentration and an FOM of 95.2381 RIU\u0000−1\u0000 at 1%. While conventional Ag-based sensors attained a maximum sensitivity of 5240 nm/RIU and an FOM of 90.345 RIU\u0000−1\u0000 at 80 nm Ag thickness.

In the design and fabrication of the sequencing device, carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene have been explored as a promising sensing material that provides an excellent combination of spatial resolution and base specificity. Using first-principles simulation, we determined the effect on the electrical conductivity of a one-dimensional carbon chain due to the presence of four DNA bases. The simulation results indicate that the interaction between the carbon chain and different DNA bases leads to different levels of conductivity change in the carbon chain. Quantitatively, base A is the most difficult base to detect due to its relatively small current change. Furthermore, the results also show that the relative orientation of the bases with respect to the carbon chain can affect the induced current change in the chain. This information can be used to optimize the structural design of future sequencing devices. Collectively, the first-principles simulation results suggest the integration of a one-dimensional carbon chain with supporting nanofluidic designs can provide a viable approach towards the development of a compact, robust, and high-resolution DNA sequencing system.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"5 ","pages":"39-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10663936","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed RNG design leverages the inherent randomness between each bit of data to generate larger sets of random numbers by concatenating the modules of the customized linear feedback shift registers. To efficiently generate random data, a plane of RNGs (comprising of multiple modules) is introduced. A sliding window approach is employed for reading data in both the horizontal and vertical directions; therefore, the sets of random numbers are generated by doubling the datasets and inverting the duplicated datasets. Flip-Flops are utilized to isolate the datasets and diminish correlation among them. This paper explores variations in parameters to evaluate their impact on the performance of the proposed design. A comparative analysis between the proposed design and existing SNG designs from technical literature is presented.
