Creatinine, a waste product derived from protein and muscle metabolism, is a significant biomarker of kidney related diseases, with normal clinical values ranging in micromolar concentrations. The limitations of traditional kidney diagnostic modalities include the usage of more reagents, larger interference, and the requirement of expertise for diagnosis and interpretation. Recently, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been explored for onsite detection of biomolecules with minimal sample preparation, achieving single molecule sensitivity. However, defining distinct Raman characteristic peaks from the complex structure of individual biomolecules and enhancing the weak Raman signal for single molecule detection are challenging. Therefore, this study focuses on the automated detection of creatinine using Raman spectral peaks obtained from a graphene oxide gold nanocomposite (GOAu)-coated SERS substrate. The GOAu substrate enhances the weak Raman signal, allowing for the identification of inherent peaks of creatinine at 604, 678, 836, and 904 cm−1. In addition, a deep learning feedforward neural network, utilizing rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation, was additionally employed to enable the classification and detection of ultra-low creatinine concentrations with a limit of detection (LoD) of 1 pM, where characteristic Raman peaks are not clearly distinct due to low signal-to-noise, and achieved an accuracy of 98%. This promotes the proposed sensor ultra-sensitive detection of creatinine, offering early diagnosis of kidney-related diseases.

This study presents a facile green synthesis approach for developing a copper oxide (CuO) porous microflowers (PMFs) based enzymatic glucose biosensor, functionalized with ZnO nanofibers. The CuO-PMFs were synthesized using an ecofriendly method, utilizing plant extracts as reducing agents, ensuring biocompatibility and minimizing environmental impact. These CuO PMFs were then integrated with ZnO nanofibers, known for their excellent electron mobility and high surface area, to enhance the biosensor's performance. The hybrid nanomaterials were employed to immobilize glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymes, facilitating the efficient electrochemical detection of glucose on printed circuit board (PCB) based interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). The resulting biosensor was tested for its impedance change, which showed the linear range of 10–250 µM, demonstrated sensitivity of 58.131 KΩ µM−1 cm−2, a low detection limit of 117 nM, and percentage relative standard deviation of 1.56% showing good stability, making it suitable for monitoring glucose levels in biomedical applications. The green synthesis route not only contributes to sustainability but also provides a cost-effective and scalable method for fabricating high-performance biosensors, offering significant potential for noninvasive glucose monitoring in diabetic care.

This work presents a novel algorithm for failure prediction in manufacturing processes using online unsupervised learning based on Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD). The proposed method continuously monitors sensor data by comparing the probability distributions of a test window against those of a reference window to detect deviations that signal potential system degradation. These distributions are modeled as multivariate Gaussians to capture interdependencies between sensor signals. The algorithm is applied to real-world data from an electric arc furnace in the steel industry, demonstrating its ability to predict failures without prior offline training. Experimental results reveal that multivariate KLD analysis offers a more favorable balance between early fault detection and false alarm rates than univariate approaches. The method provides a lightweight, data-efficient, and practical solution for predictive maintenance in industrial settings where labeled failure data is limited or unavailable.

Flexible strain sensors with high sensitivity and a wide detection range are essential for next-generation healthcare and soft robotics. However, achieving a tradeoff between sensitivity and detection range is challenging in a strain sensor. This letter reports an interface engineering approach that leverages a dual conductive network to develop high-fidelity strain sensors. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, which features amine and siloxane functional groups, simultaneously binds to hybrid filler and Ecoflex. Therefore, the composite shows enhanced filler dispersion, stress transfer, and electrical signal stability under strain. This interfacial interaction enables the achievement of a sensitivity of ∼188.7 with three-zone linearity. The synergy of a dual-network conductive pathway and interfacial adhesion facilitates more repetitive cycles, resulting in a ∼75% reduction of hysteresis and a response time of approximately 450 ms. Furthermore, the high stability of >1000 cycles is attributed to the prevention of filler pullout and the maintenance of a conductive network during continuous testing. This strategy provides a scalable approach for designing next-generation flexible sensors with molecular-level interface engineering, enabling superior sensitivity, mechanical reliability, and real-time health monitoring.

Accelerating the design and adoption of compact devices involving 3-D current-carrying architectures requires new and enhanced inspection methodologies to support critical device development and failure analysis. Vector magnetic field imaging with high spatio-temporal resolution is a promising approach for probing these architectures by revealing 3-D current paths. These 3-D current density maps can be obtained from magnetic field maps by solving the difficult 3-D current reconstruction problem. We present a novel incoherent convolutional dictionary learning (ICDL)-based method to process magnetic field maps acquired via nitrogen-vacancy center–based wide-field magnetic microscopy. The ICDL-based approach separates the composite magnetic field into layer-specific components within the 3-D stacked structure. Subsequently, a plug-and-play-based iterative approach jointly deconvolves each layer's magnetic field to estimate the underlying current sources. The results demonstrate an average improvement of $approx$ 2.7 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio and $approx$ 3.7% in structural similarity index over conventional convolutional dictionary learning-based methods.

This letter presents a comprehensive study of the source of nonlinearities in a novel z-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer fabricated using a two-silicon-layer fabrication process. The device features a unique mechanical architecture that converts the out-of-plane motion of the proof mass into linear in-plane displacement of the sensing frames, enabling efficient capacitive readout. Initial experimental characterization revealed an unexpected nonlinearity, exceeding predictions of the ideal mechanical model. To investigate the origin of this behavior, a detailed 3-D finite element method (FEM) analysis was performed, incorporating fabrication-induced effects such as substrate deformation and residual stresses. Simulations demonstrated that substrate deformation has negligible impact within the operational range, while residual prestresses on the structural silicon layer strongly influence the device response, producing nonlinearity levels consistent with experimental measurements. The close agreement between FEM predictions and experimental data validates the model and identifies residual prestresses on the structural silicon layer as the dominant factor affecting the device linearity. These insights provide a clear pathway for future design optimization, suggesting that careful control of residual stress and potential structural modifications can significantly improve the performance, linearity, and reliability of subsequent generations of z-axis MEMS accelerometers.

Radar-based respiratory measurement is a promising tool for the noncontact detection of sleep apnea. Our team has reported that apnea events can be accurately detected using the statistical characteristics of the amplitude of respiratory displacement. However, apnea and hypopnea events are often followed by irregular breathing, reducing the detection accuracy. This study proposes a new method to overcome this performance degradation by repeatedly applying the detection method to radar data sets corresponding to multiple overlapping time intervals. Averaging the detected classes over multiple time intervals gives an analog value between 0 and 1, which can be interpreted as the probability of apnea and hypopnea events occurring. We show that the proposed method can mitigate the effect of irregular breathing that occurs after apnea and hypopnea events. The performance was validated using overnight recordings from seven patients, showing a 1.4-fold improvement in apnea and hypopnea event detection compared with the nonoverlapping method.

Gas pipeline leaks in industrial environment can be hazardous, necessitating timely remediation. Owing to the shortcomings of contact-based sensing methods, noncontact localization and diagnostics is necessary. Leak severity, alongside leak localization, is a critical parameter requiring long-term monitoring due to its nonstationary nature. Existing algorithms become computationally expensive in such conditions. Thus, a lightweight data-driven approach is necessary. It has been experimentally found that during training phase, the leak severity gets coupled with leak position due to the directional nature of a leak with respect to the sensor. This work proposes a leak-position-informed neural network training method for leak severity classification. The proposed approach has been compared with various training and testing methods to evaluate their ability to predict leak severity. The proposed method yields accuracy of 93% and 83% in clean and noisy environment over a range of experimental conditions.

This letter presents the concept of a quartz crystal Coriolis vibrating gyroscope named GYTRIX (GYro for TRIgonal piezoelectric Xtal) able to operate in matched modes using force to rebalance or in the whole angle mode. The symmetry of the design that respects quartz crystal trigonal symmetry enables two degenerated modes with nominally identical thermomechanical behavior. This new gyro concept is presented, along with the first step in its development roadmap: the design of a separated-mode open-loop gyro transducer, in order to validate the concept with existing open-loop electronics. Prototype realization and experimental measurements made it possible to validate theoretical angular random walk of 0.017°/√h and to demonstrate gyrocompass operation.
