One Dimensional Signal Diodes Constructed with Excitable Chemical System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Excitable chemical system can process information coded in excitation pulses. Here we discuss the simplest realization of a chemical signal diode that transmits pulses in one direction only. The construction of such diode just requires a geometrical combination of three areas characterized by different excitability. The proposed construction of chemical signal diode has been tested in numerical simulations and verified in experiments with ruthenium (Ru) catalyzed Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction.

On Emulation of Flueric Devices in Excitable Chemical Medium
Flueric devices are fluidic devices without moving parts. Fluidic devices use fluid as a medium for information transfer and computation. A Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium is a thin-layer spatially extended excitable chemical medium which exhibits travelling excitation wave-fronts. The excitation wave-fronts transfer information. Flueric devices compute via jets interaction. BZ devices compute...
متن کاملConstructing Two-Dimensional Multi-Wavelet for Solving Two-Dimensional Fredholm Integral Equations
In this paper, a two-dimensional multi-wavelet is constructed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The constructed multi-wavelet is an orthonormal basis for space. By discretizing two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation reduce to a algebraic system. The obtained system is solved by the Galerkin method in the subspace of by using two-dimensional multi-wavelet bases. Because the bases of subs...
متن کاملMuscle-Cell-Based"Living Diodes"
A new type of diode that is made entirely of electrically excitable muscle cells and nonexcitable fibroblast cells is designed, fabricated, and characterized. These two cell types in a rectangular pattern allow the signal initiated on the excitable side to pass to the nonexcitable side, and not in the opposite direction.
متن کاملA numerical study of the decomposition of chemical waves in a closed system
Ž . A photosensitive Oregonator that has three steady states one is stable and the others unstable is investigated in a one-dimensional reaction-diffusion system to study the decomposition of chemical waves in a closed excitable medium. A time-dependent concentration of reactant, a, plays the role of an internal bifurcation parameter. A part of the system is set to be oscillatory to produce a w...
متن کاملCoherence Resonance in Chaotic Electronic Circuits
Random fluctuations (or noise) usually constitute a source of disorder and are considered, in general, as detrimental in, e. g., linear information theory, electrical engineering or neurobiology. However, it has been shown in the recent past that the quality of the response of a system can be improved if a right amount of noise is added. One of the most well known examples is that of stochastic...
