Conformable ultrasound breast patch for deep tissue scanning and imaging by Du, Wenya, Zhang, Lin, Suh, Emma, Lin, Dabin, Marcus, Colin, Ozkan, Lara, Ahuja, Avani, Fernandez, Sara, Shuvo, Ikra Iftekhar, Sadat, David, Liu, Weiguo, Li, Fei, Chandrakasan, Anantha P., Ozmen, Tolga, Dagdeviren, Canan

“…The in vitro studies and clinical trials reveal that the array using a piezoelectric crystal [Yb/Bi-Pb(In <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> <jats:sub>/2</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -Pb(Mg <jats:sub>1/</jats:sub> <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>2/3</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -PbTiO <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> ] (Yb/Bi-PIN-PMN-PT) exhibits a sufficient contrast resolution (~3 dB) and axial/lateral resolutions of 0.25/1.0 mm at 30 mm depth, allowing the observation of small cysts (~0.3 cm) in the breast. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…We show that compared to a single perceptron using analog weights, this architecture for the readout can attain, even by using the same number of binary valued synapses, up to 3.3 times less error for a two-class spike train classification problem and 2.4 times less error for an input rate approximation task. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
