This paper presents a scattered wirelessly powered Electroencephalographic (EEG) recording system with 32 standalone devices to enable untethered, continuous, long-term EEG recording. Each device incorporates a wireless low-power EEG recording ASIC, a receiver (Rx) coil, and a hydrogel electrode in a compact cube (1.2 cm × 1.2 cm × 0.5 cm). The 32 EEG devices are wirelessly powered by a transmitter (Tx) coil array, under the control of a central control unit, through an inductive link operating at 60 MHz. The 60 MHz carrier also serves as the data link, enabling forward data transmission of user commands from the central control unit to EEG devices and back data transmission from EEG devices to the central control unit. In each EEG device, the ASIC will decode the user commands that are loaded onto the inductive link carrier by a novel synchronized pulse width demodulator at a data rate of 4 Mbps to control the ASIC digitizing the EEG signal or transmitting the EEG data. The EEG analog frontend (AFE) with a gain of 45 dB, bandpass of 0.03 Hz to 800 Hz, and input-referred noise (IRN) of 4.5 µVrms amplifies and filters EEG signals. Then, the 10-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR-ADC) with an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 9.6 bits digitizes the amplified EEG signals. The backscatter-based data Tx transfers the EEG data to the central control unit via load-shift-keying (LSK) modulation at a data rate of 3.75 Mbps. The overall ASIC and the prototype of the scattered wirelessly powered EEG recording system have been successfully evaluated on human subjects.

This paper proposes an iterative method of estimating power system forced oscillation (FO) amplitude, frequency, phase, and start/stop times from measured data. It combines three algorithms with favorable asymptotic statistical properties: a periodogram-based iterative frequency estimator, a Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT)-based method of estimating amplitude and phase, and a changepoint detection (CPD) method for estimating the FO start and stop samples. Each of these have been shown in the literature to be approximate maximum likelihood estimators (MLE), meaning that for large enough sample size or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), they can be unbiased and reach the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound in variance. The proposed method is shown through Monte Carlo simulations of a low-order model of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) power system to achieve statistical efficiency for low SNR values. The proposed method is validated with data measured from the January 11, 2019 US Eastern Interconnection (EI) FO event. It is shown to accurately extract the FO parameters and remove electromechanical mode meter bias, even with a time-varying FO amplitude

This paper proposes a 1D residual convolutional neural network (CNN) for classifying arrhythmias based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The additional residual blocks and skip connections effectively alleviate the gradient problem in deep neural networks by providing a direct path for gradient propagation and enhancing the feature information propagation. In addition, the SMOTE-Tomek technique was demonstrated in this work to mitigate the effects of class imbalance caused by a large amount of data during model training and effectively increase the SNR of the training set. The robustness of the model is increased by adding the cosine annealing technique and L 2 regularization. The proposed model was evaluated with various performance metrics, resulting in an accuracy of $\mathbf{9 8. 7 4 \%}$ , sensitivity of $\mathbf{9 8. 3 5 \%}$ , specificity of $\mathbf{9 1. 8 6 \%}$ , precision of $\mathbf{9 7. 9 5 \%}$ , and F1 score of $\mathbf{9 8. 1 4 \%}$ on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The result shows better performance for classifying previously unseen data for the proposed approach as compared to the state-of-the-art works.

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, the applicability of the well-known diagnostic techniques, based on the motor current and stray flux signature analysis, has been experimentally tested both on small single-phase induction motors and on large on-field three-phase induction motors. On the other hand, the single phasing fault in three-phase induction motors, which has rarely been treated in the literature, has been experimentally analyzed and compared to the behavior of the single-phase motor, in order to find characteristic signatures of this fault. Time and frequency domain analyses were performed on current, axial and radial stray flux, and torque signals. The experimental study highlighted the following insights: i) classical motor current signature analysis cannot be easily applied to permanent-capacitor single-phase machines; ii) stray flux analysis reveals the presence of additional harmonic sidebands, even in healthy three-phase induction motors; iii) a rough analysis of the third harmonic in the current spectrum may be sufficient to diagnose the single phasing fault.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been one of the most severe public health issues in recent decades. Patients affected by CKD require a complicated and expensive treatment such as hemodialysis. The management of hemodialysis patients have been a particular challenge for nephrologists during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. The accepted measure of dialysis dose is based on the removal of urea from the blood pool. Urea concentration is usually evaluated with the aid of blood samples that are analyzed in a clinical laboratory, but there is still the need of continuous monitoring of the dialysis efficiency to optimize clinical treatments. Hence, we have investigated and demonstrated an optofluidic sensing platform to detect urea content in water solutions by comparing light transmittance across a flat microfluidic channel with and without fluid. We considered the effect of absorption in the wavelength bands around $\lambda=1.45\mu \mathrm{m}$ and $\lambda=2.15\mu \mathrm{m}$ , where water and urea exhibit characteristic peaks of absorbance [2]. In the instrumental configuration (Fig. 1(a)), radiation provided by two LEDs crosses the microfluidic device and is finally detected in time domain with an amplified InGaAs photodiode, connected to the oscilloscope for data visualization and acquisition. The microfluidic device is a rectangular section borosilicate glass capillary (Vitrocom, NJ, USA) with two extremities provided with heat shrink tubes to facilitate injection of the fluid into the channel. Nominal channel length and depth of the channel are 50 mm and 1 mm, respectively.
