Reusability of filtering facepiece respirators after decontamination through drying and germicidal UV irradiation

Véronique Michaud, David Vernez, Guillaume Suarez, Kiattisak Batsungnoen

Introduction During pandemics, such as the SARS-CoV-2, filtering facepiece respirators plays an essential role in protecting healthcare personnel. The recycling of respirators is possible in case of critical shortage, but it raises the question of the effe ...

Photocatalytic Nanowires-Based Air Filter: Towards Reusable Protective Masks

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Caroline Lehmann

In the last couple decades, several viral outbreaks resulting in epidemics and pandemics with thousands of human causalities have been witnessed. The current Covid-19 outbreak represents an unprecedented crisis. In stopping the virus' spread, it is fundame ...

Learning Temporary Block-Based Bidirectional Incongruity-Aware Correlation Filters for Efficient UAV Object Tracking

Yujie He

In the field of UAV object tracking, correlation filter based approaches have received lots of attention due to their computational efficiency. The methods learn filters by the ridge regression and generate response maps to distinguish the specified target ...

Simultaneous unwrapping and low pass filtering of continuous phase maps based on autoregressive phase model and wrapped Kalman filtering

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

We propose a simultaneous noise filtering and phase unwrapping algorithm. Spatial evolution of phase is modeled as an autoregressive Gaussian Markov random field. Accordingly, phase value at a pixel is related to phase values at surrounding pixels in a pro ...

5 GHz laterally-excited bulk-wave resonators (XBARs) based on thin platelets of lithium niobate

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Soumya Yandrapalli, Victor Plessky

In a free-standing 400-nm-thick platelet of crystalline ZY-LiNbO3, narrow electrodes (500 nm) placed periodically with a pitch of a few microns can eXcite standing shear-wave bulk acoustic resonances (XBARs), by utilising lateral electric fields oriented p ...
