The ARM STM32 F103 board employs a horizontal and vertical moving CMOS camera for front-end data acquisition. The camera can detect radiation over different coordinates given by latitude and longitude in a determined area. For image processing, we used the subtraction–summation algorithm based on gradient multiplication and edge detection. Compared to algorithms such as the max grayscale value, subtraction–summation, and whole summation, the improved subtraction–summation algorithm filters noise and removes the background grayscale value of the whole image to attain higher accuracy, stronger anti-interference ability, and better consistency to determine the radiation dose. We dedicated one port of the transmission module to send data through the STM32 F103 board, whereas another port is connected to the Zig Bee module for data reception. By employing this architecture, we achieved low power consumption and fast response in the remote data transmission.Overall, the proposed system performs the remote measurement of low-energy radiation with stability andreliability, which is required for critical scenarios such as the remote detection of nuclear radiation.展开更多

Recent investigations have identified amorphous carbon at the edge of the graphite mesa as the primary source of friction in such SSL systems. Here, the tensile stress of metal thin film is exploited to engineer vertically conductive edge-warping graphite mesas(EWGM). Through this approach, robust SSL performance is realized, demonstrated by sliding an 8 μm side length square EWGM on an atomically smooth Au substrate for 10000 cycles at a constant voltage of 1 m V. In this SSL system,differential friction coefficients lower than 1.5 × 10^(-4) are achieved, with static contact resistance between EWGM and Au substrate as low as 28Ω and sliding contact resistance as low as 32Ω. Moreover, the EWGM exhibits SSL behavior on polished Si wafer substrates. Furthermore, because of the no-edge contact with the substrate during sliding, friction is independent of the sliding speed of the EWGM. This study presents the first successful fabrication of conductive EWGM. Remarkably, in both EWGM-Au and EWGM-Si SSL systems, the measured frictions are more than one order of magnitude lower than those of ordinary self-retracting graphite mesas with no-edge warping, and no wear is observed during extended current-carrying sliding.Overall, these findings establish a solid groundwork for the future realization of macroscale conductive SSL systems.展开更多
