Epilepsy is a severe neurological disease which is diagnosed by analyzing Electroencephalogram. The epileptic seizure detection technique based on multiscale entropies and complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) is proposed in this paper. CEEMD is used for the estimation of sub-bands and two multiscale entropies; multiscale dispersion entropy (MDE) and refined composite MDE are extracted from the sub-bands. The feature selection method, configured by hybridizing the filter based and wrapper based method, is used to select relevant multiscale entropies. The hybrid method has not only reduced features but also improved classification performance. An artificial neural network is trained with relevant features and performance is measured using classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Five clinically relevant classification problems are used to assess the proposed technique. The performance is also compared with the state of the art techniques. The proposed technique has shown an improvement in detection of seizures and can be used to build the clinical system for epileptic seizure detection.
All‐solid‐state rechargeable sodium (Na)‐ion batteries are promising for inexpensive and high‐energy‐density large‐scale energy storage. In this contribution, new Na solid electrolytes, Na3?yPS4?xClx, are synthesized with a strategic approach, which allows maximum substitution of Cl for S (x = 0.2) without significant compromise of structural integrity or Na deficiency. A maximum conductivity of 1.96 mS cm?1 at 25 °C is achieved for Na3.0PS3.8Cl0.2, which is two orders of magnitude higher compared with that of tetragonal Na3PS4 (t‐Na3PS4). The activation energy (Ea) is determined to be 0.19 eV. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations shed light on the merit of maximizing Cl‐doping while maintaining low Na deficiency in enhanced Na‐ion conduction. Solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterizations confirm the successful substitution of Cl for S and the resulting change of P oxidation state from 5+ to 4+, which is also verified by spin moment analysis. Ion transport pathways are determined with a tracer‐exchange NMR method. The functional detects that promote Na ‐ion transport are maximized for further improvement in ionic conductivity. Full‐cell performance is demonstrated using Na/Na3.0PS3.8Cl0.2/Na3V2(PO4)3 with a reversible capacity of ≈100 mAh g‐1 at room temperature. 相似文献
A wavelength-tunable microring resonator with integrated microheater on lithium niobate is presented. Ridge structure on lithium niobate is formed by a wet-etching technique for enhancing the lateral index contrast of the waveguide. The resonant wavelength of the microring resonator is tuned through thermooptic effect by injecting current into the integrated microheater. The tuning characteristics of through port and drop port are measured and the tuning rates in the microring resonator with a radius of 100 mum for transverse-magnetic and transverse-electric polarizations are 2.54 x 10-2 nm/mA and 3.40 x 10-3 nm/mA. 相似文献
Hollow Cu nano/microstructures are prepared by reduction of CuSO4 · 5 H2O with glucose by using a mild hydrothermal process. The X‐ray powder diffraction and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis indicate that the products are pure Cu and of cubic phase. The morphology of the products can be controlled between nanotubes and microspheres assembled from hollow nanoparticles by adjusting the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate. A series of experiments confirm that the concentration of the glucose and NaOH also play important roles in the formation of the hollow Cu nano/microstructures. 相似文献
Li‐metal is considered as the most promising anode material to advance the development of next‐generation energy storage devices owing to its unparalleled theoretical specific capacity and extremely low redox electrochemical potential. However, safety concerns and poor cycling retention of Li‐metal batteries (LMBs) caused by uncontrolled Li dendrite growth still limit their broad application. Herein, liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) terminated by –OCH3 groups is proposed as a graftable additive to reinforce the anode dendrite suppression for LMBs. Such a grafting triggers the formation of a conformal hybrid solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with increased fractions of LiF and Li–Si–O‐based moieties, which serve as a rigid barrier and ionic conductor for uniform Li‐ion flow and Li‐mass deposition. The grafting protected anode endows Li/Li symmetric cells with a long lifetime over 1800 h with a much smaller voltage gap (≈25 mV) between Li plating and stripping, than the naked anode. The coulombic efficiency values for Li/Cu asymmetric cells in carbonate electrolyte can reach up to 97% even at a high current density of 3 mA cm?2 or high capacity up to 4 mAh cm?2. The liquid PDMS additive shows advantage over solid siloxane additives with poor grafting ability in terms of Li surface compaction and SEI stabilization. 相似文献
