Abstract: Hundreds of thousands of concrete bridges and hundreds of billions of tons of concrete require characterization with time for corrosion. Accordingly, protocols for rapid testing and improved field characterization systems that automatically triangulate electrical resistivity and half-cell corrosion potential measurements would be beneficial allowing discrete/periodic mapping of a structure to be performed as well as addressing testing for asphalt covered concrete. Further, it is the low frequency impedance of rebar in concrete that correlates to corrosion state but these are normally time consuming vulnerable to noise. Hence, it would be beneficial to provide a means of making low frequency electrical resistivity measurements rapidly. Further, prior art techniques for electrical rebar measurements require electrical connection be made to the rebar which increases measurement complexity/disruption/repair/cost even when no corrosion is identified. Beneficially a method of determining the state of a rebar without electrical contact is taught.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a vibrating wire compressive stress gauge and stress testing equipment suitable for use in low-temperature environments. By providing a stress trigger sleeve made of elastic material, the concrete structure of the lining itself expands when it is affected by high or low temperatures, extruding the stress trigger sleeve, and the extrusion force is offset through the elastic force of the elastic material, thereby preventing the expansion force from being transmitted to the vibrating wire assembly to generate stress signals that are caused by the self-expansion of the lining structure, which may cause measurement error. Specifically, the vibrating wire assembly is provided in the vibrating wire measurement space composed of a stress trigger sleeve and a pair of anchoring disks. When the lining is subjected to external stress, a certain internal force will be generated.

Abstract: An oral care system including an oral care device and a processor. The oral care device includes a head having cleaning elements and a vibrational sensor configured to determine vibrational data emitted by the oral care device in use. The processor is operably coupled to the vibrational sensor and is configured to: determine, based on the vibrational data, an applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon an oral cavity of a user; determine an optimal pressure associated with the oral cavity of the user and a non-optimal pressure associated with the oral cavity of the user; and based on the applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon the oral cavity being substantially the non-optimal pressure, cause the applied pressure of the cleaning elements upon the oral cavity to be substantially the optimal pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for estimating the tension of a tension member (1), the method comprising the steps of exciting the tension member (1) such as to induce vibration of the tension member (1), sampling the vibration to obtain a first vibration signal (VS1), modifying the mass and/or the rotational inertia of the tension member (1) such as to provide a modified tension member (1a), exciting the modified tension member (1a) such as to induce vibration of the modified tension member (1a), sampling the vibration of the modified tension member to obtain a second vibration signal (VS2), and estimating the tension of the tension member based on a comparison of the first vibration signal (VS1) and the second vibration signal (VS2). Disclosed is also a system for estimating the tension of a tension member.

Abstract: A force sensor includes a frame and an oscillation structure which has arms and can oscillate freely in the frame. The arms are fixed to suspension frame regions and run transverse to one another at least in sections. At least one conductor extends along at least two arms. An AC voltage can be applied to the at least one conductor to excite at least one oscillation mode of the oscillation structure with a resonant frequency using Lorentz force. The force sensor is designed such that the suspension regions are at least partially spatially displaced relative to one another when a force is applied to the frame, that the magnitude of the spatial displacement of the suspension regions depends on the magnitude of the force, and that the spatial displacement of the suspension regions causes detuning of the resonant frequency, the magnitude of which depends on the spatial displacement magnitude.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical resonator device. The resonator device comprises a resonator element made of an elastic material under tensile stress and adapted for sustaining at least one oscillation mode; and a clamping structure supporting the resonator element. The clamping structure has a phononic density of states exhibiting a bandgap or quasi-bandgap such that elastic waves of at least one polarisation and/or frequency are not allowed to propagate through the clamping structure. The resonator element and the clamping structure are configured to match with a soft-clamping condition that elastic waves of polarisation and/or frequency corresponding to the at least one oscillation mode of the resonator penetrate evanescently into the clamping structure in a manner such as to minimize bending throughout the entire resonator device. Thereby, bending related loss may be minimized and the Q-factor of the mechanical resonator may be maximized.
