Ambient‐light sensor system with wide dynamic range enhanced by adaptive sensitivity control

Abstract— A new digital ambient‐light sensor system is presented which employs two linear light sensors with different sensitivities and automatically adjusts the sensitivity based on the illumination condition. The adaptation mechanism allows a very wide range of light intensity to be detected, and the input dynamic range of the system is substantially improved from 22.5 to 45.1 dB. The proposed method does not require any additional precision bits for output data. Due to the small number of the output bits and the simple conversion process, the system can be easily integrated on the display panel.     

Designing autonomous robots

Autonomous robots are complex systems that require the interaction or cooperation of numerous heterogeneous software components. Nowadays, robots are getting closer to humans and as such are becoming critical systems that must meet safety properties including logical, temporal, and real-time constraints.     

Electroosmotic control of width and position of liquid streams in hydrodynamic focusing

This paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations on electroosmotic control of stream width in hydrodynamic focusing. In the experiments, three liquids (aqueous NaCl, aqueous glycerol and aqueous NaCl) are introduced by syringe pumps to flow side by side in a straight rectangular microchannel. External electric fields are applied on the two aqueous NaCl streams. Under the same inlet volumetric flow rates, the applied electric fields are varied to control the interface positions and consequently the width of the focused aqueous glycerol stream. The electroosmotic effect on the width of the aqueous glycerol is measured using fluorescence imaging technique. The electroosmotic effect under different flow rates, different viscosity, and aspect ratio are investigated. The results indicate that the electroosmotic effect on the pressure-driven flow becomes weaker with the increase in flow rates, viscosity ratio or aspect ratio of the channel. The measured results of the focused width of the non-conducting fluid agree well with the analytical model.     

Metal Single-Site Molecular Complex–MXene Heteroelectrocatalysts Interspersed Graphene Nanonetwork for Efficient Dual-Task of Water Splitting and Metal–Air Batteries

Development of multifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency and stability is of great interest in recent energy conversion technologies. Herein, a novel heteroelectrocatalyst of molecular iron complex (Fe_MC)-carbide MXene (Mo₂TiC₂T_x) uniformly embedded in a 3D graphene-based hierarchical network (GrH) is rationally designed. The coexistence of Fe_MC and MXene with their unique interactions triggers optimum electronic properties, rich multiple active sites, and favorite free adsorption energy for excellent trifunctional catalytic activities. Meanwhile, the highly porous GrH effectively promotes a multichannel architecture for charge transfer and gas/ion diffusion to improve stability. Therefore, the Fe_MC–MXene/GrH results in superb performances towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline medium. The practical tests indicate that Zn/Al–air batteries derived from Fe_MC–MXene/GrH cathodic electrodes produce high power densities of 165.6 and 172.7 mW cm⁻², respectively. Impressively, the liquid-state Zn–air battery delivers excellent cycling stability of over 1100 h. In addition, the alkaline water electrolyzer induces a low cell voltage of 1.55 V at 10 mA cm⁻² and 1.86 V at 0.4 A cm⁻² in 30 wt.% KOH at 80 °C, surpassing recent reports. The achievements suggest an exciting multifunctional electrocatalyst for electrochemical energy applications.
