An Ultra‐Low‐Power Biopotential Acquisition Analog Front‐End Chip for Wearable Devices
International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, EarlyView.A 0.8‐V, 1.2‐μW biopotential AFE combines a chopper‐stabilized CCIA with dual‐time‐scale EDO management. The slow DSL preserves > 1 GΩ input impedance, whereas an event‐triggered fast‐recovery path shortens return to the linear range after abrupt electrode‐offset disturbances. ABSTRACT A 0.8‐V, 1.2‐μW biopotential analog front‐end (AFE) IC is presented

An Estimation of the Heat Load Distribution on the Divertor Target Using the CSD Model
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Handling the heat load on the divertor target is a critical issue in the design of fusion reactors. Estimating the heat load, supported by computationally efficient simulations with varying design parameters, provides valuable input to high‐level design discussions and the development of design guidelines.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...
