  • Publication number: 20240319023
    Abstract: An ion gradient power-generation stretching strain sensor and its preparation method, which relates to the technical field of flexible strain sensor and flexible wearable electronic technology, includes: latex pipes, an elastic line covered with a first hygroscopic sensitive material, two electrodes, and filter paper covered with a second hygroscopic sensitive material; wherein at both ends of the pipe, the filter paper is fixed inside and the corresponding electrodes of the elastic line at one end; the moisture absorption performance of the second hygroscopic sensitive material is better than the first hygroscopic sensitive material. The present invention realizes self-power supply of the sensor based on the ion gradient, does not require external power supply, and uses the elasticity line of the first hygroscopic sensitive material to achieve the strain detection, without consuming the material of the sensor itself and thus enhances life of the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240102979
    Abstract: A calibration concentration selection method includes steps of: using a gas sensor array to obtain a concentration variation sequence and a response variation sequence of the gas mixture; constructing and training an AE-BP model; constructing VAE and identically distributing the response variation sequence; inputting the identically distributed response variation sequence into the trained AE-BP model to output a predicted concentration variation sequence; and then normalizing the predicted concentration variation sequence to generate a target concentration variation sequence; sorting a target concentration variation sequence and calculating a response gradient sequence; processing the response gradient sequence for obtaining a corresponding smoothed gradient sequence; if the spike is greater than a preset hyperparameter, finding a large gradient concentration interval; and selecting concentration test points by random uniform sampling according to weights; and selecting concentration test points from all othe
