This paper introduce a #frequency-#domain #detection (#FDD) technique for #biosensor #field-#effect #transistor (#bioFET)-based #Molecular #Communications #receivers (#MC-#Rxs), which exploits the distinct binding reaction rates of different ligand types, reflected in the power spectrum of binding noise. Compared to conventional #time-#domain #detection (#TDD) technique, this method offers improved detection performance under stochastic molecular interference. The authors analyze the #bit #error #probability (#BEP) of FDD, confirming its superior performance in various interference scenarios. ---- Meltem Civas, Murat Kuşcu, Özgür Barış Akan More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/gcmFTzCU

This study from  IEEE Xplore explores the engineering of non-living vesicles, also known as #biomachines, using a #syntheticbiology approach. The paper introduces a groundbreaking method for developing Frequency Dependent Network Equivalents (FDNE) using an online recursive least squares (RLS) identification algorithm in the z-domain. By modeling reduced power systems as FDNE, it offers a unique perspective on enhancing system efficiency and reliability. Furthermore, the study combines Transient Stability Analysis (TSA) and FDNE using real-time digital simulators, providing a comprehensive approach to dynamic system assessment. The proposed algorithm seamlessly integrates TSA and FDNE components, offering valuable insights into aggregating external areas for TSA and formulating FDNE using RLS identification. One of the most compelling aspects of this research is its practical application in evaluating power grid performance. The study shows that the reduced order model aligns closely with the full model through experiments on Kundur's two area test system. This enables real-time simulations for dynamic assessment of large power systems. The work opens doors to new possibilities in power system engineering and offers promising avenues for enhancing grid stability and efficiency. It will be interesting to see how these findings shape the future of #synbio and power system dynamics.

Mechanical signaling is key in many biological processes. But how do you trigger and quantify these mechanical cues on the level of single cells or molecules? Read how the lab of Carlos Bustamante got surprising insights! https://bit.ly/41mI0Eq

I am thrilled to announce that our latest paper, titled "Contact Activation in Dielectric Blood Coagulometry: A Comparison of Screen-Printed and Sputtered Gold Electrodes of ClotChip Microfluidic Sensor," has been published in IEEE Sensors Letters! This study explores how surface roughness affects the kinetics of whole blood coagulation by comparing screen-printed and sputtered gold electrodes in the ClotChip microfluidic dielectric sensor. Our findings reveal that smoother sputtered gold electrodes significantly reduce surface-induced FXIIa-mediated contact activation, thereby influencing the coagulation time more effectively than rough screen-printed electrodes. Our results can potentially be extended to other coagulation assays or scenarios where blood contacts nonphysiological surfaces. This work wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable contributions of my co-authors: Calvin Abonga Christopher Delianides Sina Pourang Michael Suster A special thanks to my supervisor, Pedram Mohseni, for his guidance and support. #IEEESensorsLetters #ContactActivation #DielectricBloodCoagulometry #Microfluidics #DielectricSpectroscopy #ClotChip #Hemostasis #POCDiagnostics #SensorCharacterization #WholeBloodCoagulation

Delight to share IEEE FLEPS (2024) conference outcomes! A conference paper based on temperature measurement in a microfluidics channel using thermistors.

🌟⚡ 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙄𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙒𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚 triggering of thyristors shows immense potential, enabling them to switch higher currents with faster rise times compared to traditional methods. The requirements for this mode are more rigorous, demanding trigger pulses with a voltage rise rate of over 1 kV/ns and an amplitude double the thyristor's static breakdown voltage. This new article from SIAME lab presents a novel trigger circuit tested with series-parallel thyristors, showcasing impressive results with minimal current imbalance. It marks a significant step towards the advancement in solid-state pulsed power using commercially available thyristors!..
