Development of fiber optic strain sensor system for smart structure applications by Ong, Lin Seng, Seah, Leong Keey, Chai, Gin Boay

“…However, as a result of external perturbation or disturbances, the light that passes through the optical fiber changes one or more of its characteristics or properties such as intensity, phase, state of polarization, wavelength or reflective index. As long as we are able to detect these changes and relate them to the changes of external perturbations we can transform the optical fiber into a sensor to detect those perturbations. …”

Experimental study of an asymmetric valveless pump to elucidate insights into strategies for pediatric extravascular flow augmentation by Anatol, J., García-Díaz, M., Barrios-Collado, C., Moneo-Fernández, J. A., Horvath, M., Parra, T., Castro-Ruiz, F., Roche, E. T., Sierra-Pallares, J.

“…Our results demonstrate that the performance is within the range of physiological requirements for pediatric circulatory devices (~ 1 L/min and &lt; 30 mmHg). We conclude that due to the absence of reverse flow and its mechanical simplicity, pure asymmetric pumping is promising for selected cardiovascular applications with less complexity than other valveless techniques.…”
