In line with the wider application of non-contact voltage transducers in the engineering field, transducers are required to have better performance for different measuring environments. In the present study, the D-dot voltage transducer is further improved based on previous research in order to meet the requirements for long-distance measurement of electric transmission lines. When measuring th...

The paper describes highly-sensitive passive electric potential sensors (EPS) for non-contact detection of multiple biophysical signals, including electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration cycle (RC), and electroencephalogram (EEG). proposed EPS uses an optimized transimpedance amplifier (TIA), a single guarded sensing electrode, adaptive cancellation loop (ACL) to maximize sensitivity (DC <inline-f...

[1] Recent experimental and modeling studies show that large quasi-static electric fields (2–20 kV/m) can be developed in a Martian or terrestrial dust devil as a result of contact electrification and charge separation of dust grains with different sizes and compositions. Electric discharging occurs when the maximum electric field reaches breakdown values ( 20 kV/m on Mars and 3 MV/m on Earth, ...

Cell electrofusion is a safe, non-viral and non-chemical method that can be used for preparing hybrid cells for human therapy. Electrofusion involves application of short high-voltage electric pulses to cells that are in close contact. Application of short, high-voltage electric pulses causes destabilization of cell plasma membranes. Destabilized membranes are more permeable for different molec...
