Plastic Optical Fiber Displacement Sensor Based on Dual Cycling Bending
In this study, a high sensitivity and easy fabricated plastic optical fiber (POF) displacement sensor is proposed. A POF specimen subjected to dual cyclic bending is used to improve the sensitivity of the POF displacement sensor. The effects of interval between rollers, relative displacement and number of rollers on the sensitivity of the displacement sensor are analyzed both experimentally and...
متن کاملMeasuring fast stochastic displacements of bio-membranes with dynamic optical displacement spectroscopy
Stochastic displacements or fluctuations of biological membranes are increasingly recognized as an important aspect of many physiological processes, but hitherto their precise quantification in living cells was limited due to a lack of tools to accurately record them. Here we introduce a novel technique--dynamic optical displacement spectroscopy (DODS), to measure stochastic displacements of me...
متن کاملDetermination of Biomembrane Bending Moduli in Fully Atomistic Simulations
The bilayer bending modulus (Kc) is one of the most important physical constants characterizing lipid membranes, but precisely measuring it is a challenge, both experimentally and computationally. Experimental measurements on chemically identical bilayers often differ depending upon the techniques employed, and robust simulation results have previously been limited to coarse-grained models (at ...
متن کاملApplication of screw displacement axes to quantify elbow instability.
OBJECTIVES To determine if screw displacement axis patterns describing elbow joint motion: (1) change after ligament transection in vitro; (2) can reflect subtle changes in stability as a function of forearm position; (3) can reflect dynamic stabilization of the ligament insufficient elbow provided by muscle activity.Design. An in vitro kinematic study of eighteen cadaveric specimens tested in ...
متن کاملOptical transillumination spectroscopy to quantify parenchymal tissue density: an indicator for breast cancer risk.
Mammographic screening for early detection of breast cancer has proven valuable in improving breast cancer survival. However, breast cancer incidence is still increasing, and thus preventative oncology needs to receive more attention, with the goal of identifying women with increased risk of developing breast cancer in the future and offering them risk reduction interventions. Mammogram derived...
