In the cigarette production process, the quality and production efficiency of a cigarette are directly affected by the roundness of the un-cut cigarette. To improve the current measurement method using a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor and measure the roundness of cigarettes in the production line, a visual detection system composed of an industrial camera and a structural light is developed. The system's roundness-calculation method is closer to the real environment of the cigarette roundness. In this visual system, the line-structure light shines on the cigarette with a fixed angle and height in a longitudinal section, forming a crescent-shaped spot when the industrial camera cannot capture the cigarette's end surface. Then, the spot is analyzed using image-processing techniques, such as a median filter and ellipse fitting, after the industrial camera captures the spot. The system with a non-contact measurement style can meet the requirements of on-line cigarette detection with stable results and high precision.展开更多

文摘The rapid and sensitive detection of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid(DPA),one of the main biomarkers of Bacillus anthracis,is of great significance for the screening and diagnosing of anthrax.Herein,a ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe based on zeolite imidazolate framework-8(ZIF-8)@AuNCs-Tb was constructed by embedding both gold nanoclusters(AuNCs)and terbium ions(Tb^(3+))into ZIF-8 for highresolution visual detection of DPA.Due to the aggregation induced emission enhancement(AIE)effect,AuNCs embedded in ZIF-8 emit a strong orange fluorescence.When Tb^(3+)is coordinated with DPA added to the nanoprobe,it will emit a strong green fluorescence owing to the antenna effect.The results reveal that ZIF-8@AuNCs-Tb nanoprobe can detect DPA effectively with a good linear relationship in the range of 40-200 and 200-1000μmol/L,the limit of detection(LOD)is estimated at 1.8μmol/L(3σ/k).The proposed nanoprobe shows a remarkable selectivity for DPA and is quite easy to realize visualization based on the fluorescent color changing from orange to green,which has potential application in clinical diagnosis.The feasibility of this method was verified by standard addition recovery experiments simulating the release of DPA from spores.

文摘In the recent COVID-19 pandemic,World Health Organization emphasized that early detection is an effective strategy to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 viruses.Several diagnostic methods,such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and lateral flow immunoassay(LFIA),have been applied based on the mechanism of specific recognition and binding of the probes to viruses or viral antigens.Although the remarkable progress,these methods still suffer from inadequate cellular materials or errors in the detection and sampling procedure of nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab collection.Therefore,developing accurate,ultrafast,and visualized detection calls for more advanced materials and technology urgently to fight against the epidemic.In this review,we first summarize the current methodologies for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis.Then,recent representative examples are introduced based on various output signals(e.g.,colorimetric,fluorometric,electronic,acoustic).Finally,we discuss the limitations of the methods and provide our perspectives on priorities for future test development.
文摘Roundness is defined as the degree that the cross section of an object is close to a theoretical circle. In the cigarette production process, the quality and production efficiency of a cigarette are directly affected by the roundness of the un-cut cigarette. To improve the current measurement method using a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor and measure the roundness of cigarettes in the production line, a visual detection system composed of an industrial camera and a structural light is developed. The system's roundness-calculation method is closer to the real environment of the cigarette roundness. In this visual system, the line-structure light shines on the cigarette with a fixed angle and height in a longitudinal section, forming a crescent-shaped spot when the industrial camera cannot capture the cigarette's end surface. Then, the spot is analyzed using image-processing techniques, such as a median filter and ellipse fitting, after the industrial camera captures the spot. The system with a non-contact measurement style can meet the requirements of on-line cigarette detection with stable results and high precision.
