Optimizing multicopy chromosomal integration for stable high-performing strains.

The copy number of genes in chromosomes can be modified by chromosomal integration to construct efficient microbial cell factories but the resulting genetic systems are prone to failure or instability from triggering homologous recombination in repetitive DNA sequences. Finding the optimal copy number of each gene in a pathway is also time and labor intensive. To overcome these challenges, we applied a multiple nonrepetitive coding sequence calculator that generates sets of coding DNA sequence (CDS) variants. A machine learning method was developed to calculate the optimal copy number combination of genes in a pathway. We obtained an engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strain for eicosapentaenoic acid biosynthesis in 6 months, producing the highest titer of 27.5 g l-1 in a 50-liter bioreactor. Moreover, the lycopene production in Escherichia coli was also greatly improved. Importantly, all engineered strains of Y. lipolytica, E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae constructed with nonrepetitive CDSs maintained genetic stability.

Highly precise FBG wavelength demodulation method with strong multiplexing ability and positioning function based on time-domain detection.

Based on the theory of the microwave photonic filter (MPF), to our knowledge, a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) wavelength demodulation method based on time-domain detection is proposed. The method uses VNA (vector network analyzer) to measure the S21 parameter of the sensor system, and converts them to the time-domain through inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), The wavelength demodulation and positioning of FBG can be realized by measuring the amplitude and position of the time-domain peak. In order to improve the number of FBG multiplexes, a method is proposed to eliminate the effect of spectrum overlap by normalization in the case of two FBGs and three FBGs. The experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity is 0.00503 RAC/°C, the positioning resolution of the system is 1.25 cm, and the limit of the wavelength difference between two FBGs allowed by the system is 0.25 nm. This method has the advantages of high demodulation precision, strong multiplexing ability and high precision positioning, and has broad application prospects.

Transcriptomic profiling of human granulosa cells between women with advanced maternal age with different ovarian reserve.

BACKGROUND: Age-related diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is not absolute. Some advanced maternal age (AMA) still have normal ovarian reserve (NOR) and often show better pregnancy outcomes. Exploring the transcriptomic profile of granulosa cells (GCs) in AMA could lead to new ideas for mitigating age-related diminished ovarian reserve. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the transcriptomic profile of GCs in AMA with different ovarian reserve. RESULTS: In total, 6273 statistically significant differential expression genes (DEGs) (|log2fc|> 1, q < 0.05) were screened from the two groups, among which 3436 genes were upregulated, and 2837 genes were downregulated in the DOR group. Through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, the potential functions of dysregulated genes in AMA with DOR or NOR were predicted. The GO enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in obsolete oxidation-reduction process, mitochondrion, metal ion binding, ATP binding, etc. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the above-mentioned DEGs were mainly enriched in ferroptosis, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, oxidative phosphorylation, etc. Meanwhile, verification of the mRNA expression levels of DEGs revealed the possible involvement of "ferroptosis" in age-related diminished ovarian reserve. CONCLUSIONS: From a new clinical perspective, we presented the first data showing the transcriptomic profile in GCs between AMA with different ovarian reserve. At the same time, we identified the role of ferroptosis in the GCs of AMA, providing a new biological basis for studying ovarian aging and improving pregnancy outcomes of AMA.

Broadband unidirectional transverse light scattering in a V-shaped silicon nanoantenna.

The efficient manipulation of light-matter interactions in subwavelength all-dielectric nanostructures offers a unique opportunity for the design of novel low-loss visible- and telecom-range nanoantennas for light routing applications. Several studies have achieved longitudinal and transverse light scattering with a proper amplitude and phase balance among the multipole moments excited in dielectric nanoantennas. However, they only involve the interaction between electric dipole, magnetic dipole, and up to the electric quadrupole. Here, we extend and demonstrate a unidirectional transverse light scattering in a V-shaped silicon nanoantenna that involves the balance up to the magnetic quadrupole moment. Based on the long-wavelength approximation and exact multipole decomposition analysis, we find the interference conditions needed for near-unity unidirectional transverse light scattering along with near-zero scattering in the opposite direction. These interference conditions involve relative amplitude and phases of the electromagnetic dipoles and quadrupoles supported by the silicon nanoantenna. The conditions can be applied for the development of either polarization- or wavelength- dependent light routing on a V-shaped silicon and plasmonic nanoantennas.

Narrow Linewidth Half-Open-Cavity Random Laser Assisted by a Three-Grating Ring Resonator for Strain Detection.

A stabilized narrow-linewidth random fiber laser for strain detection, based on a three-grating ring (TGR) resonator and half-open-cavity structure, is proposed and investigated experimentally. The half-open-cavity structure proved to provide double optical gain of erbium-doped fiber, which was beneficial to increase the photon lifetime as well as further narrow the linewidth. Meanwhile, the stability and frequency noise of narrow lasing output was improved by suppressing the competition-induced undesired residual random lasing modes with the TGR resonator. The TGR resonator is composed of a double-cavity fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perot (FBG-FP) interferometer, a section of single-mode fiber, and a circulator. The specially designed double-cavity FBG-FP interferometer embedded in the TGR resonator acted as the strain-sensing element and improved the resolution of the dynamic strain. A stable ultra-narrow linewidth of about 205 Hz was obtained. The frequency noise was reduced to about 2 Hz/√Hz. A high dynamic strain measuring resolution of 35 femto-strain (fε)/√Hz was achieved.

High-precision and wide-wavelength range FBG demodulation method based on spectrum correction and data fusion.

Optical fiber sensing technology plays an important role in the application of the sensing layer of the Internet of Things. The core of this technology is the demodulation of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system. Since the FBG sensor utilizes the wavelength change to respond to the measured size, it is of great significance to improve the accuracy of the FBG wavelength demodulation. However, the demodulation performance of the current FBG wavelength demodulation method still has much room for improvement in terms of accuracy and stability. To this end, we propose a composite gas cell demodulation scheme based on spectrum correction and data fusion by using differential photodetectors, fitting extrapolation, data fusion methods, etc. The issue of low demodulation accuracy arising due to noise, temperature drift, spectral distortion, etc., was addressed to improve the demodulation performance of the FBG. In the experiment, four FBGs with different center wavelengths were used to verify their demodulation accuracy in the range of 1510-1590 nm. The maximum repeatability error of the FBG wavelength was measured to be 2.51 pm, and the linearity was as high as 99.9% or more; under the working environment of -20 °C to 60 °C, the maximum full-scale error did not exceed ±1.71 pm, which is improved by 54.3% compared with the traditional method.

Development and Application of Resistance Strain Force Sensors.

Resistance strain force sensors have been applied to monitor the strains in various parts and structures for industrial use. Here, we review the working principles, structural forms, and fabrication processes for resistance strain gauges. In particular, we focus on recent developments in resistance stress transfer for resistance strain force sensors and the creep effect due to sustained loads and/or temperature variations. Various error compensation methods to reduce the creep effect are analyzed to develop a metrology standard for resistance strain force sensors. Additionally, the current status of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), and other wide band gap semiconductors for a wide range of strain sensors are reviewed. The technical requirements and key issues of resistance strain force sensors for future applications are presented.

Optical nanoheating of resonant silicon nanoparticles.

The photothermal characteristics of nanoparticles are of particular interest to biophotonic and biomedical applications due to their ability to efficiently localize thermal energy down to the nanometer scale. However, few works had demonstrated an efficient dissipation of heat to their nanoscale surrounding in response to optical excitation. Here, we demonstrate an efficient platform for optical nanoheating based on silicon nanocuboids. Based on Green's tensor formalism and temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy analyses, we found that the significant nanoheating effect is a consequence of the resonant modes specifically, to the high degree of overlap between the different resonant modes of the silicon nanocuboids. Currently, the temperature rise of up to 300 K was measured with incident power density of 2.9 mW/µm2. Such effective nanoheating platform would be suitable in applications where controllable optical nanoheating is crucial, such as nanosurgery, photochemistry, and nanofabrication.

Strain Transfer Characteristics of Resistance Strain-Type Transducer Using Elastic-Mechanical Shear Lag Theory.

The strain transfer characteristics of resistance strain gauge are theoretically investigated. A resistance strain-type transducer is modeled to be a four-layer and two-glue (FLTG) structure model, which comprises successively the surface of an elastomer sensitive element, a ground adhesive glue, a film substrate layer, an upper adhesive glue, a sensitive grids layer, and a polymer cover. The FLTG model is studied in elastic⁻mechanical shear lag theory, and the strain transfer progress in a resistance strain-type transducer is described. The strain transitional zone (STZ) is defined and the strain transfer ratio (STR) of the FLTG structure is formulated. The dependences of the STR and STZ on both the dimensional sizes of the adhesive glue and structural parameters are calculated. The results indicate that the width, thickness and shear modulus of the ground adhesive glue have a greater influence on the STZ ratio. To ensure that the resistance strain gauge has excellent strain transfer performance and low hysteresis, it is recommended that the paste thickness should be strictly controlled, and the STZ ratio should be less than 10%. Moreover, the STR strongly depends on the length and width of the sensitive grids.

Detrimental Effect Elimination of Laser Frequency Instability in Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer by Using Self-Heterodyne Detection.

A useful method for eliminating the detrimental effect of laser frequency instability on Brillouin signals by employing the self-heterodyne detection of Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering is presented. From the analysis of Brillouin scattering spectra from fibers with different lengths measured by heterodyne detection, the maximum usable pulse width immune to laser frequency instability is obtained to be about 4 µs in a self-heterodyne detection Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) system using a broad-band laser with low frequency stability. Applying the self-heterodyne detection of Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering in BOTDR system, we successfully demonstrate that the detrimental effect of laser frequency instability on Brillouin signals can be eliminated effectively. Employing the broad-band laser modulated by a 130-ns wide pulse driven electro-optic modulator, the observed maximum errors in temperatures measured by the local heterodyne and self-heterodyne detection BOTDR systems are 7.9 °C and 1.2 °C, respectively.

Prediction of multiple resonance characteristics by an extended resistor-inductor-capacitor circuit model for plasmonic metamaterials absorbers in infrared.

The resonance characteristics of plasmonic metamaterials absorbers (PMAs) are strongly dependent on geometric parameters. A resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit model has been extended to predict the resonance wavelengths and the bandwidths of multiple magnetic polaritons modes in PMAs. For a typical metallic-dielectric-metallic structure absorber working in the infrared region, the developed model describes the correlation between the resonance characteristics and the dimensional sizes. In particular, the RLC model is suitable for not only the fundamental resonance mode, but also for the second- and third-order resonance modes. The prediction of the resonance characteristics agrees fairly well with those calculated by the finite-difference time-domain simulation and the experimental results. The developed RLC model enables the facilitation of designing multi-band PMAs for infrared radiation detectors and thermal emitters.

A Prospective Randomized Study of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Autograft, γ-Irradiated Allograft, and Hybrid Graft.

PURPOSE: To compare the results of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autograft, γ-irradiated allograft, or hybrid graft in a prospective randomized study with a minimum clinical follow-up period of 5 years. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized, comparative study, 102 patients with ACL tears underwent ACL reconstruction with autograft (gracilis and semitendinosus tendons), γ-irradiated allograft (tibialis anterior tendons), or hybrid graft (γ-irradiated tibialis anterior tendon allograft and semitendinosus tendon autograft). Laboratory testing of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reaction protein level were performed; clinical results were evaluated with the KT-1000 arthrometer (MEDmetric, San Diego, CA), Lachman test, Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and International Knee Documentation Committee evaluation (both objective and subjective). RESULTS: There were 32 patients in the autograft group, 31 in the hybrid graft group, and 32 in the γ-irradiated allograft group at last follow-up. No differences were found among the 3 groups regarding patient demographic data and the duration from injury to operation (P > .05). The C-reaction protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate values were statistically higher in the γ-irradiated allograft group than in the other 2 groups on the third, seventh, and fourteenth days (P < .05). No significant differences were found between the autograft and hybrid graft groups (P > .05). The KT-1000 examination showed more anterior laxity in the γ-irradiated allograft group than in the other 2 groups (P < .05). No significant differences in the Lachman test and pivot-shift test findings were found among the 3 groups (P > .05). The Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and International Knee Documentation Committee evaluation (subjective and objective) showed no differences among the 3 groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction with hybrid graft or autograft had satisfactory and similar objective and subjective clinical results. On KT-1000 measurement of anteroposterior knee laxity, both the autograft and hybrid graft groups showed statistically significant differences compared with the γ-irradiated allograft group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prospective comparative study.

Comparison of single-bundle and double-bundle isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with allograft: a prospective, randomized study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the double-bundle (DB) technique improved stability of the knee compared with the single-bundle (SB) technique. METHODS: This prospective study included 50 patients who were randomized to undergo posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by use of tibialis anterior grafts with either the SB technique (25 patients) or DB technique (25 patients). The group assignment was concealed before allocation with the use of sealed envelopes. Posterior stability was evaluated with the KT-1000 arthrometer (MEDmetric, San Diego, CA), and clinical outcomes were assessed with the Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and International Knee Documentation Committee score (both objective and subjective). RESULTS: There were 22 patients in the SB group and 24 patients in the DB group with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. No differences were found between the 2 groups regarding patient demographic data and the duration from injury to operation (P > .05). The Lysholm score was 88.0 ± 4.2 (range, 83 to 93) in the SB group and 89.8 ± 3.8 (range, 86 to 95) in the DB group, and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P = .447). The Tegner activity score improved significantly to 6.2 ± 0.9 (range, 5 to 8) in the SB group and 6.8 ± 1.2 (range, 5 to 9) in the DB group. The side-to-side difference in posterior translation decreased to 4.1 ± 1.3 mm (range, 5.5 to 2.5 mm) in the SB group and 2.2 ± 1.3 mm (range, 4.5 to 2.0 mm) in the DB group, and there was a significant difference between the 2 groups (P < .05). According to the International Knee Documentation Committee (both objective and subjective), the DB group had a better grade distribution (P < .05) and had a statistically higher grade (71.6 ± 6.7; range, 63 to 80) than the SB group (65.5 ± 7.8; range, 56 to 75) (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Although both techniques resulted in similar patient satisfaction as measured by outcome assessment, the DB procedure significantly improved knee stability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, lesser-quality randomized controlled trial.

[Numerical assessment of impeller features of centrifugal blood pump based on fast hemolysis approximation model].

The impeller profile, which is one of the most important factors, determines the creation of shear stress which leads to blood hemolysis in the internal flow of centrifugal blood pump. The investigation of the internal flow field in centrifugal blood pump and the estimation of the hemolysis within different impeller profiles will provide information to improve the performance of centrifugal blood pump. The SST kappa-omega with low Reynolds correction was used in our laboratory to study the internal flow fields for four kinds of impellers of centrifugal blood pump. The flow fields included distributions of pressure field, velocity field and shear stress field. In addition, a fast numerical hemolysis approximation was adopted to calculate the normalized index of hemolysis (NIH). The results indicated that the pressure field distribution in all kinds of blood pump were reasonable, but for the log spiral impeller pump, the vortex and backflow were much lower than those of the other pumps, and the high shear stress zone was just about 0.004%, and the NIH was 0.0089.

[Shang Ring circumcision versus conventional circumcision for redundant prepuce or phimosis: a meta analysis].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect and safety of Shang Ring circumcision with those of conventional circumcision in the treatment of redundant prepuce or phimosis. METHODS: We retrieved the randomized controlled trials on Shang Ring circumcision and conventional circumcision for the treatment of redundant prepuce or phimosis published at home and abroad. Relevant data were selected according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews by two reviewers after quality evaluation of the included trials, and the statistical software RevMan 5.0 was used for meta analysis. RESULTS: Totally 8 randomized controlled trials with 2277 cases were included in this study. Compared with conventional circumcision, Shang Ring circumcision showed a shorter operation time (SMD = -5.82, 95% CI [ -7.39, -4.24], P<0.00001), less intraoperative blood loss (SMD = -3.28, 95% CI [ -3.47, -3.09], P<0.00001), lower rate of infection (OR = 0.44, 95% CI [0.26, 0.72], P=0.001), lower rate of postoperative bleeding (OR =0.05, 95% CI [0.02, 0.12], P<0.00001), higher rate of satisfaction with the postoperative penile appearance (OR=12.72, 95% CI [1.30, 124.56], P=0.03), lower intraoperative pain score (SMD = -3.32, 95% CI [ -3.50, -3.14], P<0.00001), and lower 24-hour-postoperative pain score (SMD = -3.28, 95% CI [ - 3.47, - 3.00], P<0.00001), but longer wound healing time (OR=1.46, 95% CI [1.03, 1.90], P<0.00001). CONCLUSION: In comparison with conventional circumcision, Shang Ring circumcision has the advantages of shorter operation time, fewer complications, mild pain, and higher rate of satisfaction with the postoperative penile appearance. However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials with large samples are required to lend further support to our findings.

Comparison of two different starting dose of rhFSH in GnRH antagonist protocol for patients with normal ovarian reserve.

Objective: To evaluate different starting doses of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) on pregnancy outcomes for patients with normal ovarian reserve during gonadotropin- releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol-controlled ovarian stimulation of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 1138 patients undergoing IVF cycles following the GnRH-ant protocol were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups according to the starting dose of rhFSH. 617 patients received a starting dose of rhFSH of 150 IU, and 521 patients received a starting dose of rhFSH of 225 IU. We compared demographic characteristics, ovarian stimulation and embryological characteristics, and pregnancy and birth outcomes between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the possible effects of the known potential confounding factors on pregnancy outcomes. Results: The number of oocytes retrieved in the 150 IU rhFSH group was significantly lower than those in the 225 IU rhFSH group. There was no significant difference between the two groups referring to embryological characteristics. The proportion of fresh embryo transfer in the 150 IU rhFSH group was significantly higher than that in the 225 IU rhFSH group (48.30% vs. 40.90%), and there was no difference in the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and pregnancy outcomes between the two groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, the starting dose of rhFSH of 150 IU for ovarian stimulation has a similar pregnancy outcome as starting dose of rhFSH of 225 IU in GnRH-ant protocol for patients with normal ovarian reserve. Considering the potential cost-effectiveness and shorter time to live birth, the starting dose of rhFSH of 150 IU may be more suitable than 225 IU.

Dependance of Gauge Factor on Micro-Morphology of Sensitive Grids in Resistive Strain Gauges.

The effect of micro-morphology of resistive strain gauges on gauge factor was investigated numerically and experimentally. Based on the observed dimensional parameters of various commercial resistive strain gauges, a modeling method had been proposed to reconstruct the rough sidewall on the sensitive grids. Both the amplitude and period of sidewall profiles are normalized by the sensitive grid width. The relative resistance change of the strain gauge model with varying sidewall profiles was calculated. The results indicate that the micro-morphology on the sidewall profile led to the deviation of the relative resistance change and the decrease in gauge factor. To verify these conclusions, two groups of the strain gauge samples with different qualities of sidewall profiles have been manufactured, and both their relative resistance changes and gauge factors were measured by a testing apparatus for strain gauge parameters. It turned out that the experimental results are also consistent with the simulations. Under the loading strain within 1000 µm/m, the average gauge factors of these two groups of samples are 2.126 and 2.106, respectively, the samples with rougher profiles have lower values in gauge factors. The reduction in the gauge factor decreases the sensitivity by 2.0%. Our work shows that the sidewall micro-morphology on sensitive grids plays a role in the change of the gauge factor. The observed phenomena help derive correction methods for strain gauge measurements and predict the measurement errors coming from the local and global reinforcement effects.

Dependence of Creep Strain and Fatigue Behavior on Surface Characteristics of Resistive Strain Gauges.

Creep behavior and fatigue life are important performance indexes that affect the long-term stability of resistive strain gauges. The resistive strain gauges, fabricated with wet etching and resistance trimming, present micro-morphology such as textures and uneven edges on the surface and side-wall profile of sensitive grids. This paper observed the micro-morphology of the sensitive grids by microscope and analyzed its range of geometric dimensions. A sine function was used to establish equivalent geometric models for the surface textures and side-wall profile. Based on time hardening theory and the S-N curve, the dependence of micro-morphology of metal resistive strain gauges on creep behavior and fatigue life was studied. The results indicate that the roughness of micro-morphology has an influence on creep behavior and fatigue life. The surface textures and side-wall profile lead to the increase of creep strain and the decrease of fatigue life in varying degrees. When 60% of the ultimate stress of the strain gauges is loaded, the average creep strain in steady-state calculated by the maximum roughness of the side-wall profile reaches up to 6.95 times that of the perfect flat surface. Under the condition of loading 70% of the ultimate stress and the same roughness, the fatigue life led by side-wall profile could be reduced to 1/25 of the textured surface. The obtained achievements promote an understanding for optimizing the fabrication process of resistive strain gauges as well as developing high-precision and long-life force sensors.

The Effect Of Small Bone Window Craniotomy Removal on Lactic Acid and CRP in Patients with Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage in the Basal Ganglia.

Background: Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) seriously endangers the quality of life of patients and can even lead to death. Craniotomy is a common treatment method for HICH. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of two different sizes of craniotomy in patients with HICH, as well as to evaluate their effects on C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood lactate levels. Materials and Methods: A total of 72 patients with HICH in the basal ganglia were operated on in our hospital from February 2017 to March 2019 and randomly divided into two groups: the small bone window (SBW) group (n = 37) and the large bone flap group (n = 35). The curative effects of the two kinds of operations were evaluated by the length of operation, the days of hospitalization, the rate of hematoma clearance, the rate of rebleeding, and the incidence of complications. Additionally, the levels of CRP and lactate were compared between the two groups. Results: The results showed that the average intraoperative time, hospital stay, rebleeding rate, and postoperative complications of patients in the SBW group were less than those in the large bone flap group. Moreover, the number of patients in the SBW group with good postoperative recovery, including class V and class IV, was higher than that in the large bone flap group. Minimally invasive craniotomy with SBW reduced the lactic acid and CRP levels more quickly than the large bone flap group. Conclusions: An SBW was superior to a large bone flap in terms of the operative effect and lactate and CRP levels. It is concluded that an SBW has significant advantages over a large bone flap.

Design Method of Multiwavelength EMATs Based on Spatial Domain Harmonic Control.

Conventional electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) are generally only used to generate and detect guided waves with a single wavelength, which increases their sensitivity at that particular wavelength but limits their application scenarios and the accuracy of defect assessment. This article proposes a design method for multiwavelength EMATs based on spatial-domain harmonic control. First, the EMAT model is analyzed, where it is then outlined that the eddy-current density distribution of the specimen is equivalent to the spatial low-pass filtering of the coil-current density distribution. This shows that the multiwavelength guided waves can be achieved as long as the spatial distribution of the coil-current density contains those multiple harmonics that are desired. It is then proposed that the structure of the EMAT coil is equivalent to the spatial sampled pulse sequences of a spatial signal. The coil parameter design based on pulse modulation technology is proposed. Taking a dual-wavelength EMAT design for Lamb waves as an example, details of the coil parameter design are presented. The simulation and experiment with the dual-wavelength EMAT proved the correctness of the proposed method. Finally, an experiment with a three-wavelength EMAT demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed method in designing multiwavelength EMATs.
