The sensors' arrangement conforms to the circumference and are perpendicular to the face of the rotating disk. This arrangement produces corresponding sinusoidal voltages that are each converted to DC via a corresponding rectifier circuit. The resulting DC voltage outputs are then summed to produce a single power output, which is fed to a DC-to-DC converter. The rotating disk's unidirectional motion is produced by a ratchet gear system attached to a partially elastic torso garment, which is worn on the mid torso. The ratchet gear system moves proportionally, in response to the reciprocal motion of a wearer's respiration.

The process can be mainly divided into two phases: training and testing. During the training phase, the context activation residual network may be trained by using the B-ultrasonic image blocks as input and the pathological results of liver biopsy as labels. During the testing phase, the B-ultrasonic image blocks may be input into the trained non-invasive liver fibrosis diagnosis model to obtain the liver fibrosis staging result for each ultrasonic image.
