Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is one kind of Scanning Probe Microscopies (SPMs), and it can be used in mapping topographical features of sample at high - resolution with free contact by measuring the ion current of ultra-micropipette. SICM is widely used in imaging soft samples for many distinct merits, such as high resolution imaging, simple preparation of probe and no harm to sample surface. However, it is undeniable that the scanning speed of SICM is much slower than other SPMs, especially for large scale and high resolution imaging. Fortunately, compressive sensing (CS), which breaks through the Shannon's sampling theorem for dramatically reducing sample rate, could improve scanning speed tremendously, but it still costs much time in image reconstruction. Therefore block compressive sensing was applied to SICM imaging for reducing the reconstruction time of sparse signals, and it has an anther further and unique application that it can achieve the function of image real-time display. In this paper, a new method of dividing blocks and a new matrix arithmetic operation was proposed to build the block compressive sensing model, and several experiments was taken to verified the superiority of block compressive sensing in reducing imaging time and image real-time display used SICM.

To improve the performance of fine polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) couplers, it is necessary to increase the detection accuracy of polarization axis. The mathematical model of panda PMF index is established, and then the side view method is simulated. From the simulation results, the light is transmitted in the optical fiber and is focused on the other side, and the maximum light intensity of the fiber image is related to the rotation angle and the observation distance. When the observation distance is constant, the maximum value of light intensity changes periodically with the PMF rotation angle. When the observation plane is near the focused one of the transmitted light, the highest light intensity of optical image reaches the maximum value, which is the polarization axis detection parameter of PMF. Based on this, detection method which takes the maximum intensity as the feature is proposed. Combining the micro-vision technology, the polarization axis detection system for fine PMF is designed. The image sharpness function which can confirm the position of the detection plane is proposed. The experimental data are processed using the Fourier filtering method. By fitting the experiment data with the cubic spline method, the panda PMF polarization axis is determined. According to the experimental results, the repetitive detection error is 0.61°, which meets the requirements of PMF coupler manufacturing.

The operational difficulty of Transcranial Doppler (TCD) limits its use in normal clinical settings. We therefore present a robotic arm consists of five degrees of freedom which are achieved by four motors and one extra flexible spring, to assure appropriate pressure on temporal window. With proper control strategies, the robotic arm can move the TCD probe to automatically search temporal window positions. In this paper, we have developed the first full-automatic ambulatory TCD system, evaluated its reliability and efficiency after many experiments. In view of the validation of the instrument in successful experiments, this probe holder is likely to have great impact on future TCD examination.

A dynalnic model of skeletal muscle is developed to describe its activation kinetics and contraction dynamics based on the collective working mechanism of myosin II motors with a statistical mechanics method. According to the structure of sar- comeres arranged in series and in parallel, the mechanical properties of skeletal muscle are studied. This model reveals the re- lations between action potential and muscle characteristics. It is shown that calcium concentration in sarcoplasmic (SP) in- creases linearly with the increasing stimulation frequency and gradually reaches saturation. Active force and contraction veloc- ity follow the trend of calcium concentration and reach a peak value at the maximum stimulation frequency. Contraction ve- locity is inversely proportional to the load while the contraction power increases to maximum and then reduces to zero with the increasing load. These properties are consistent with published physiological experimental results of skeletal muscle.
