Dynamically modulated intensity interrogation scheme using waveguide coupled surface plasmon resonance sensors

An electro-optically modulated intensity interrogation method based on tunable waveguide coupled surface plasmon resonance sensors has been proposed. It has been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the proposed scheme can enable sensitive measurement of measurand variations. By modulating the refractive index in the waveguide layer, this interrogation method yields modulated signal whose amplitude is related to measurand's refractive index. This amplitude modulated signal offers a higher signal to noise ratio and eliminates additive noise in the sensor system. A preliminary investigation using saline buffers with different NaCl concentrations shows a resolution of 2.3 × 10^?6 refractive index unit by our approach. Resolution can be controlled by the amplitude of the applied modulation voltage and can be further enhanced by optimizing the device structure or improving the electro-optical (E-O) coefficient of the E-O material. This approach is simple, stable, and promising for low-cost or multi-channel SPR biosensor applications.

Predication based immune network for multimodal function optimization

For the problem of indeterminate direction of local search, lacking of efficient regulation mechanism between local search and global search and regenerating new antibodies randomly in the original optimization version of artificial immune network (opt-aiNet), this paper puts forward a novel predication based immune network (PiNet) to solve multimodal function optimization more efficiently, accurately and reliably. The algorithm mimics natural phenomenon in immune system such as clonal selection, affinity maturation, immune network, immune memory and immune predication. The proposed algorithm includes two main features with opt-aiNet. The information of antibodies in continuous generations is utilized to point out the direction of local search and to adjust the balance between local and global search. PiNet also employs memory cells to generate new antibodies with high affinities. Theory analysis and experiments on 10 widely used benchmark problems show that when compared with opt-aiNet method, PiNet algorithm is capable of improving search performance significantly in successful rate, convergence speed, search ability, solution quality and algorithm stability.     

Photolamination bonding for PMMA microfluidic chips

Finding out a rapid and reliable bonding method for plastic microfluidic chips with PCR functions is challenging for analytical chemistry and biochemistry. A rapid, reliable covalent bonding method is introduced for fabricating PMMA PCR biochips with long channels and thin walls. The bonding strength of ~5 MPa was obtained and bulk cohesive failure occurred during tensiling tests. Preliminary leaking tests indicate that photolamination bonding can be implemented readily in the fabrication of PMMA PCR biochips.

An adaptive signal-to-noise ratio estimator in mobile communication channels

Representing the reception condition directly, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an important parameter in mobile propagation channels, and therefore is widely used in system performance evaluations and adaptive applications. Hence, this paper puts forward a frequency domain SNR estimator in mobile communications, where we exploit the signal model with the band-limited fading channel and the additive white Gaussian noise. With the above model, the noise power spectrum density can be estimated from the periodogram of channel-plus-noise signals, subsequently leading to our SNR estimation. Moreover, in order to degrade the intrinsic spectrum leakage of fast Fourier transform in periodogram calculation, the leakage expression is derived analytically and then an adaptive process is proposed to make a tradeoff between leakage reduction and noise smoothing. We verify our algorithm by simulations and observe high accuracy in a wide range of velocities and SNRs. Additionally, unlike the conventional work, the proposed estimator is not strictly based on the assumption of specific Doppler spectral shapes except for the requirement of the band-limited channel, hence it is robust to general mobile channels.     

Observer design for nonlinear discrete‐time systems: Immersion and dynamic observer error linearization techniques

This paper focuses on the observer design for nonlinear discrete‐time systems by means of nonlinear observer canonical form. At first, sufficient and necessary conditions are obtained for a class of autonomous nonlinear discrete‐time systems to be immersible into higher dimensional observer canonical form. Then a method called dynamic observer error linearization is developed. By introducing a dynamic auxiliary system, the augmented system is shown to be locally equivalent to the generalized observer form, whose nonlinear terms contain auxiliary states and output of the system. A constructive algorithm is also provided to obtain the state coordinate transformation. These results are an extension of their counterparts of nonlinear continuous‐time systems to nonlinear discrete‐time systems (Syst. Control Lett. 1986; 7 :133–142; SIAM. J.
