Toward Automated Air Leak Localization: A Machine Learning-Enhanced Ultrasonic and LiDAR-SLAM Framework for Industrial Environments

IEEE Access
Pressurized air leaks are the source of a significant amount of energy loss in industrial installations. Automating the detection process of these air leaks can help prevent this loss of energy, as detecting and localizing them is the first necessary ...

Wearable Morphology‐Adaptive in‐Ear Device With Active Cleansing Capability for Multimodal Health Monitoring

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present SCIENCE, an in‐ear multimodal physiological monitor featuring two key innovations. Water‐triggered morphological expansion (a 2‐mm cylinder to a 9‐mm spindle) achieves conformal adaptation across complex canal geometries. Simultaneously, active biofouling mitigation disrupts cerumen barriers, reducing sensor‐skin impedance by 20%.
