Developing Implantable High‐Sensitivity Piezoelectric Thin‐Film Sensor to Monitor Partial Discharge of Generator Stator Windings

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulation failures resulting from partial discharges (PD) in generator stator windings represent a leading cause of generator breakdowns. Conventional acoustic emission sensors for detecting PD ultrasonic signals are typically made from bulky piezoelectric materials and are restricted to external placement on the generator.

Measurement and control of mechanics of cardiac trabeculae secured by light‐curable hydrogel

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Isolated cardiac trabeculae are small heart muscle tissue preparations, which have been widely used in in vitro studies of mechanics and energetics function of cardiac muscle. Current instruments for such experimentation often (1) involve delicate mounting of the muscle, (2) constrain investigations to one muscle at a time, and thus (3) limit ...
