However, the limited battery life of sensor nodes remains a critical bottleneck affecting their development and sustainability. In wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs), existing multiple mobile chargers (MCs) approach face challenges, including uneven node distribution, suboptimal charging station placement, and poor coordination, resulting in diminished recharging efficiency and degraded surveillance quality. Therefore, this study proposes a cooperative recharging mechanism for WRSNs based on multiple MCs. This mechanism first uses attractive-repulsive forces and Voronoi diagrams to achieve sensor relocation, resulting in a more balanced distribution of sensor nodes and improved spatial surveillance quality. Second, by optimizing the number and location of recharging stations (RSs) and dividing the surveillance area into multiple subregions, each served by a single MC, recharging efficiency is enhanced while satisfying the energy capacity constraints of MCs. Finally, the batch recharging strategy is adopted, and the sensing frequency of sensors are adjusted based on the recharging interval to improve temporal surveillance quality. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism outperforms existing algorithms in terms of energy consumption, recharging efficiency, and surveillance quality, effectively extending the lifetime of WRSNs and improving surveillance quality, providing a new perspective for the sustainable development and application of WRSNs.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"34000-34016"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934409","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}

Existing diagnostic methods face challenges in fault localization due to limited observability, low sensitivity to internal disturbances, and high background interference. This article presents a sensor-integrated digital twin (DT) framework for real-time ITSC fault localization, driven by micromagnetic field analysis. A finite element-based DT model is constructed to simulate the spatial distribution of leakage magnetic flux under various ITSC scenarios. Magnetic field signals are acquired from an optimized array of Hall-effect sensors deployed along the transformer winding surface. To bridge the gap between observed magnetic responses and internal fault evolution, a spatiotemporal data fusion and inversion strategy is developed. A regularized and gradient-informed 2-D particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to estimate fault parameters by minimizing magnetic field mismatch under physical constraints, enabling accurate localization across fault positions and severities. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed DT-assisted method significantly improves the localization accuracy and responsiveness of sensor-based fault diagnostics. This approach provides a practical pathway for deploying real-time, noninvasive monitoring systems in transformer health management.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"32804-32812"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990102","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}

However, the transient characteristics and harsh environment of the explosion pose challenges to measuring this process. In order to measure the heating effect of an explosion on the target, based on 1-D heat conduction in a flat plate, a new slug calorimeter was developed. The basic structure of the calorimeter consists of a copper plate with a thickness of 0.2 mm and an infrared thermopile. By measuring the temperature and temperature rise rate on the back of the copper plate, the heat dose (J/m<sup>2</sup>) and heat flux (W/m<sup>2</sup>) are obtained, respectively. The use of an infrared thermopile instead of a thermocouple for temperature measurement minimizes heat loss from the copper plate. The sensitivity and response time of the calorimeter are obtained on a large-area optical fiber laser heat flux calibration platform. The calibration results demonstrate that the calorimeter’s response time to a step heat flux is better than 4 ms. The explosion experiment of 17.5-kg TNT was carried out in open space. Regarding the calorimeter’s measurement results, the heat dose is not only more accurate than the heat flux but also more in line with the damage mode of transient thermal action. The proposed calorimeter provides an effective method for measuring the transient thermal effect of an explosion on targets.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"32137-32145"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990163","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}

First, the MWD gyroscope error output model is constructed and the error parameters to be identified are analyzed. Then, the MWD gyroscope error objective function is constructed according to the minimum sum of the difference caused by the error at the adjacent time of gyroscope output. Simultaneously, the relationship among the gravity vector output by accelerometer, the geomagnetic vector output by magnetometer, and the angular velocity output by gyroscope is used to establish the MWD gyroscope error constraints. Furthermore, the SMO is adopted to solve the objective function under the constraints. An orderly collaborative search strategy based on population entropy is proposed to enhance the search ability of the solutions of MWD gyroscope error parameters. In order to accelerate the convergence and the identification of optimal solution, a gradational attack factor is designed. In addition, a magnetic inertial assisted walking based on magnetic inertia operator and Laplace distribution is proposed to further improve the identification accuracy of error parameters. Finally, the experimental results show that SMO has the advantage of fast convergence and high precision compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and magpie optimizer (MO).

The proposed methodology integrates a multiscale feature extraction module into a 1-D convolutional neural network (CNN) framework to comprehensively capture spectral characteristics across different scales. Furthermore, residual learning blocks are strategically incorporated through additive skip connections to enhance gradient flow and improve model convergence. Extensive validation using simulated datasets demonstrates that the MSRCNN model achieves superior noise suppression performance, attaining the minimum mean squared error (mse) convergence value and outperforming comparative models by up to 82.87% in denoising efficacy.

This article focuses on current sensing circuits designed and employed for ultralow-noise nanopore signal readout, addressing the fundamental limitations of traditional discrete transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), which suffer from high input parasitic capacitance, bandwidth constraints, and increased noise at high frequencies. This review explores the latest design schemes and circuit structures classified into integrated and discrete TIA designs, highlighting their design implementation, performance, respective challenges, and explores the interplay between noise performance, capacitance, and bandwidth across diverse TIA configurations. Emphasis is placed on characterizing noise response under varying parasitic capacitance and operational frequencies, a systematic evaluation not extensively addressed in prior literature, while also considering the allowable input current compliance range limitations. The review also compares the widely used Axopatch 200B system to the designs reported in the literature.
