Patent number: 12251878Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and discloses a flexible piezoelectric sensor based on 4D printing. The sensor includes a magnetic part and a conductive part, wherein: the conductive part includes two substrates disposed opposite to each other and a spiral structure disposed between the two substrates. Both the two substrates and the spiral structure are made of conductive metal materials. The magnetic part has a flexible porous structure and is arranged between the two substrates to generate a magnetic field. When the two substrates are subjected to external pressure, the spiral structure and the magnetic part are compressed simultaneously, the magnetic flux passing through the spiral structure changes, and the voltage of the two substrates changes, by measuring the voltage change of the two substrates to reflect the change of external pressure, the pressure measuring process is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: HUAZHONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Chunze Yan, Hongzhi Wu, Bin Su, Yusheng Shi

Publication number: 20250014237Abstract: A method for computed tomography imaging and reconstruction based on learning, which measures the scene density distribution in an illumination multiplexing manner. The light source(s) for imaging emit(s) light according to the intensity obtained by pre-learning, and the light from different directions is absorbed and attenuated by the scene and reaches a sensor. The measured values are calculated and reconstructed to obtain the density information of the scene. The illumination intensity and reconstruction algorithm are learned by a neural network. In this method, the CT imaging process is modeled as a linear fully connected layer, and the weight corresponds to the illumination intensity of the light source for imaging; the reconstruction algorithm is modeled as a nonlinear neural network, which can be optimized according to the characteristics of scanning geometry.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Hongzhi WU, Kun ZHOU, Kaizhang KANG
