Integrated mechanical computing for autonomous soft machines

Integrated mechanical computing for autonomous soft machines

Material characterization Dogbone-shaped samples were 3D printed with the soft material that comprises bistable elements (Elastic 50 A, Formlabs), and uniaxial tensile tests were then performed according to ASTM D412-C specifications to measure the linear elastic and viscoelastic property, yield stress, and long-term toughness. We used a universal testing machine (Model 5942, Instron®, Illinois Tool Works …

Greening China’s digital economy: exploring the contribution of the East–West Computing Resources Transmission Project to CO2 reduction

Greening China’s digital economy: exploring the contribution of the East–West Computing Resources Transmission Project to CO2 reduction

We employed both a scenarios approach and fsQCA to estimate the impact of digital infrastructure on carbon emissions in China. While the scenarios approach involves a comprehensive exploration of key factors (e.g., PUE, green electricity, etc.) that influence carbon emissions across the entire EWCRT Project, the fsQCA focuses on the configurational relationships of these key …

Dimensionality reduction for images of IoT using machine learning

Dimensionality reduction for images of IoT using machine learning

This section describes the experiments and the results. Experiment preparation In our approach, a dataset comprising 6000 images has been used to train the autoencoder. The trained model will be used in the experiments to perform dimensionality reduction with the image data at the edge. The training performed on a machine has the following benefits: …

Using novel micropore technology combined with artificial intelligence to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis

Using novel micropore technology combined with artificial intelligence to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis

A micropore device Micropores (3 µm in diameter) were fabricated on a 50 nm-thick silicon nitride film cast on a silicon substrate. The silicon substrate was sandwiched between a 25 mm × 25 mm 0.5-mm-thick plastic channel. This structure is termed “a micropore module” or “a module” (Fig. 1a, b). Bacterial suspensions (18 µL) in 1× phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and PBS (15 …
