The lack of personal particulate matter (PM) monitoring technique hinders the knowledge negative health impacts caused by inhaling PM. Acoustophoresis has a potential to produce miniature particle sorters that can be carried inside human’s breath zone. Micron particles manipulated Acoustic Radiation Force (ARF), but sub-micron hardly directed due Streaming Effect (ASE). purpose this study is ex...

Some characteristics ofrepeated sickness absence. Several studies have shown that frequency of absence attributed to sickness is not distributed randomly but tends to follow the negative binomial distribution, and this has been taken to support the concept of 'proneness' to such absence. Thus, the distribution of sickness absence resembles that of minor injury at work demonstrated over 50 years...

Beam shaping - the ability to engineer phase and amplitude of massive massless particles has long interested scientists working on communication, imaging foundations quantum mechanics. In light optics, electromagnetic waves (photons) can be achieved using techniques that include, but are not limited to, direct manipulation beam source (as in X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) Synchrotrons), def...

Infield pre-sorting is intended to remove processing-grade (inferior) fruit that are not suitable for the fresh market, so growers can handle sorted apples differentially in postharvest storage and packing achieve cost savings. To this goal, we developed an apple infield grading sorting system, which singulation, rotation, transportation achieved by using simple, compact pitch-variable screw co...

The emergence of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) brings new opportunities to boost the performance sorting acceleration on FPGAs, which was conventionally bounded by available off-chip bandwidth. However, it is nontrivial for designers fully utilize this immense First, existing sorter designs cannot be directly scaled at increasing rate bandwidth, as required on-chip resource usage grows a much fas...

K-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) is an efficient algorithm used in many applications e.g. text categorization, data mining, and predictive analysis. Despite having a high computational complexity, kNN candidate for hardware acceleration since it parallelizable algorithm. This paper presents novel architecture implementation accelerator targeting modern System-on-Chips (SoCs). The adopts selection-based...

We introduce the UV–vis spectra-activated droplet sorter (UVADS) for high-throughput label-free chemical identification and enzyme screening. In contrast to previous absorbance-based sorters that relied on single-wavelength absorbance in visible range, our platform collects full spectra from 200 1050 nm at up 2100 per second. Our custom-built open-source software application, “SpectraSorter,” e...

Recycling plastic is an important step towards a circular economy. Attaining high-quality recycled plastics requires the separation of waste by type, color, and size prior to reprocessing. Automated technology key for sorting objects in medium- high-volume plants. The current state art commercial equipment as well challenges faced Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) sort post-consumer are analy...

Cell cycle research greatly relies on synchronization of proliferating cells. However, effective synchronization of mammalian cells is commonly achieved by long exposure to one or more cell cycle blocking agents. These chemicals are, by definition, hazardous (some more than others), pose uneven cell cycle arrest, thus introducing unwanted variables. The challenge of synchronizing proliferating ...
