Solid phase extraction is a common procedure to separate the desired analytes from a complex sample matrix (sample cleanup). This multi-step procedure is often performed in a manual way with sequential sample processing. An automation will increase the sample throughput by parallel processing of multiple samples. In highly regulated areas, established and validated standard operating procedures must not be changed. The automation of laboratory processes often requires a process adaption, which results in differences to the manual procedure and many processes are still performed manually. Flexible automation systems are needed to perform a sample preparation process identical to the manual procedure. Dual-arm robots are a promising solution due to their human-like structure. A positive pressure unit for automated solid-phase extraction was integrated (hardware and software) into a dual-arm robotic system. The system allows automated compound-oriented measurement processes identical to the manual procedure. The graphical user interface enables the process generation and adaption by laboratory staff without programming knowledge or direct robot teaching. A practical application was realized for determination of benzoic acids in water using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The entire process involves the solid phase extraction followed by a sample derivatization, the transfer of the samples into the autosampler of the measuring device and the measurement in a fully automated process using a dual-arm robot.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91129110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, self-regression learning plays an auxiliary role in distribution learning. Furthermore, multi-sensor information fusion at the decision level is implemented to improve the robustness of the proposed model.

Essential basic functionalities are the synchronous switching of the antenna elements at both link ends and an integrated automatic gain control (AGC) at the receiver. To meet the high timing requirements in the switched MIMO setup, an FPGA-based AGC is introduced. The detector of the AGC is based on a sample-by-sample calculation of the average and maximum of the I/Q samples within a sliding window. The used SDR hardware allows a minimum AGC update interval of approx. 14 µs and a timing accuracy of the antenna switching of 5 ns. Our setup demonstrates the applicability of state-of-the-art SDRs as a sounding system for continuous acquisition of the time-variant, directional mobile radio channel.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75564703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Windowing techniques improve the resolution of the Power Spectrum estimation by reducing the sampling gap caused by the periodic extension of the Fourier Series. However, it adds a time domain non-stationarity which affects the Surrogate Analysis. This effect is particularly problematic for short lowpass signals. Applying the same window to the surrogate data allows having the same non-stationarity. The method is tested on order 1 autoregressive process null hypothesis by Monte Carlo simulations. Previous methods were not able to yield good performances for left-sided and right-sided tests at the same time, even less with bilateral tests.
