    Abstract

    Inverse design enables automating the discovery and optimization of devices achieving performance significantly exceeding that of traditional human-engineered designs. However, existing methodologies to inverse-design electromagnetic devices require computationally expensive and time-consuming full-wave electromagnetic simulation at each iteration or generation of large datasets for training neural-network surrogate models. This work introduces the Precomputed Numerical Green Function method, an approach for ultrafast electromagnetic inverse design. The static components of the design are incorporated into a numerical Green function obtained from a single fully-parallelized precomputation step, reducing the cost of evaluating candidate designs during optimization to only being proportional to the size of the region under modification. A low-rank matrix update technique is introduced that further decreases the cost of the method to milliseconds per iteration without any approximations or compromises in accuracy. This method is shown to have linear time complexity, reducing the total runtime for an inverse design by several orders of magnitude compared to using conventional electromagnetics solvers. The design examples considered demonstrate speedups of up to 16,000x, shortening the design process from multiple days to weeks down to minutes. The approach enables practical and ultrafast design of complex structures that are prohibitively time-consuming for prior inverse design methods.

    Abstract

    With the growing interest in electric field-induced neuromodulation for clinical applications, optimizing circuitry and stimulation parameters is crucial for effective therapy. Studies have shown successful neuroregeneration, neuroprotection, and neuronal activation in vitro when electric fields exceed a certain threshold. However, clinical translation remains challenging, as stimulation amplitudes are often constrained by patient tolerance. Strategies that enhance charge delivery per phase within safety limits can improve the efficacy of these techniques.This paper presents a method to reduce the electrode-tissue interface time constant by incorporating a negative resistance circuit to lower the series resistance and an RC circuit to reduce the equivalent capacitance in a Thevenin model of the interface. By targeting the capacitive conduction phase with higher amplitudes, a voltage-controlled stimulator can deliver greater charge while remaining within tolerance limits. The proposed circuit models are validated in vivo by assessing the stimulation tolerance of rats at the optic nerve.The proposed circuits connected in series with a two-electrode stimulator effectively reduced the time constant of the current waveform, shifting the magnitude response toward higher frequencies in Bode analysis. In vivo experiments confirmed that animals tolerated, on average, 20% greater charge injection within the first 200 $\mu$s of a rectangular pulse-the interval where capacitive charge transfer dominates over faradaic processes.Enhancing voltage-controlled neurostimulators with external circuits is a promising approach to overcoming amplitude limitations in clinical neurostimulation. As electrotherapy requires a minimum electric field amplitude for efficacy, increasing patient tolerance can improve treatment success rates.

    Abstract

    Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients experience long-term deficits in motor and sensory functions. While brain-machine interface (BMI) has shown great promise for restoring neurological functions after SCI, spinal cord-machine interface (SCMI) offers unique advantages, such as more defined somatotopy and the compact organization of neural elements in the spinal cord. In the current study, we aim to demonstrate the feasibility of sensing and evoking compound action potentials (CAPs) via electrode implantation in spinal cord axonal bundles, an essential prerequisite for advancing SCMI development. To do so, we designed microelectrode arrays (MEA) optimized for recording and stimulation in the spinal cord. For sensory mapping, the MEAs were inserted into the lumbar dorsal column (i.e., the fasciculus gracilis) to determine somatotopic representations corresponding to tactile stimulation across lower body regions and assess proprioceptive signals with varying hip positions. For stimulations, at the L3 level, we delivered electrical pulses both rostrally, along ascending afferent tracts (dorsal column), and caudally, down descending corticospinal tract. We successfully captured axonal CAPs from the dorsal columns with high spatial precision that corresponded to known dermatomal somatotopy. Proprioceptive changes produced by abduction at the hip resulted in modulation of discharge frequency in the dorsal column axons. We demonstrated that stimulation pulses emitted by a caudally placed electrode could be propagated up the ascending fibers and be intercepted by a rostrally placed electrode array along the same axonal tracts. We also confirmed that electrical pulses can be directed down descending corticospinal tracts resulting in specific activations of lower limb muscles. These findings set a critical groundwork for developing closed-loop, bidirectional SCMI systems capable of sensing and modulating spinal cord activity.

    Abstract

    Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a powerful spectroscopic technique that allows direct detection and characterization of radicals containing unpaired electron(s). The development of portable, low-power EPR sensing modalities has the potential to significantly expand the utility of EPR in a broad range of fields, ranging from basic science to practical applications such as point-of-care diagnostics. The two major methodologies of EPR are continuous-wave (CW) EPR, where the frequency or field is swept with a constant excitation, and pulse EPR, where short pulses induce a transient signal. In this work, we present the first realization of a fully integrated pulse EPR spectrometer on-chip. The spectrometer utilizes a subharmonic direct-conversion architecture that enables an on-chip oscillator to be used as a dual-mode EPR sensing cell, capable of both CW and pulse-mode operation. An on-chip reference oscillator is used to injection-lock the sensor to form pulses and also to downconvert the pulse EPR signal. A proof-of-concept spectrometer IC with two independent sensing cells is presented, which achieves a pulse sensitivity of spins (1000 averages) and a CW sensitivity of spins/ and can be powered and controlled via a computer USB interface. The sensing cells consume as little as 2.1mW (CW mode), and the system is tunable over a wide frequency range of 12.8-14.9GHz (CW/pulse). Single-pulse free induction decay (FID), two-pulse inversion recovery, two-pulse Hahn echo, three-pulse stimulated echo, and CW experiments demonstrate the viability of the spectrometer for use in portable EPR sensing.

    Abstract

    In-sensor and near-sensor computing architectures enable multiply accumulate operations to be carried out directly at the point of sensing. In-sensor architectures offer dramatic power and speed improvements over traditional von Neumann architectures by eliminating multiple analog-to-digital conversions, data storage, and data movement operations. Current in-sensor processing approaches rely on tunable sensors or additional weighting elements to perform linear functions such as multiply accumulate operations as the sensor acquires data. This work implements in-sensor computing with an oscillatory retinal neuron device that converts incident optical signals into voltage oscillations. A computing scheme is introduced based on the frequency shift of coupled oscillators that enables parallel, frequency multiplexed, nonlinear operations on the inputs. An experimentally implemented 3 × 3 focal plane array of coupled neurons shows that functions approximating edge detection, thresholding, and segmentation occur in parallel. An example of inference on handwritten digits from the MNIST database is also experimentally demonstrated with a 3 × 3 array of coupled neurons feeding into a single hidden layer neural network, approximating a liquid-state machine. Finally, the equivalent energy consumption to carry out image processing operations, including peripherals such as the Fourier transform circuits, is projected to be <20 fJ/OP, possibly reaching as low as 15 aJ/OP.

    Abstract

    Compact power splitters designed ab initio using binary particle swarm optimization in a 2D mesh for a standard foundry silicon photonic platform are studied. Designs with a 4.8  μm×4.8  μm footprint composed of 200  nm×200  nm and 100  nm×100  nm cells are demonstrated. Despite not respecting design rules, the design with the smaller cells had lower insertion losses and broader bandwidth and showed consistent behavior across the wafer. Deviations between design and experiments point to the need for further investigations of the minimum feature dimensions.

    Abstract

    Magnetic spectroscopy allows for characterization of the magnetic susceptibility of magnetic beads across a broad frequency range. This enables differentiation and quantification of multiple beads of varying types concurrently present in the active volume of a sensor's surface. A magnetic spectrometer can be used for multi-probe tagging and identification akin to multi-color fluorescent bio-sensing. We propose a new sensing methodology to perform magnetic spectroscopy and analyze various important design parameters such as SNR and gain uniformity. We present a proof-of-concept design of a fully integrated CMOS magnetic spectrometer that can detect, quantify, and characterize magnetic materials in the 1.1 GHz to 3.3 GHz frequency range, where we demonstrate magnetic multiplexing capability using a mixture of two different kinds of magnetic beads. The sensor consumes less than 2 mW of DC power within the whole frequency range, requires no external biasing magnetic fields, is implemented in a standard CMOS process, and can be powered and operated completely from a USB interface. The magnetic spectrometer not only increases the throughput and multiplexing of biosensing experiments for a given sensor area, but also can enable additional applications, such as magnetic flow cytometry and signal-collocation assays of multiple probes.
