Abstract: Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are used to provide measurement of chordae tendineae forces. Two basic modes of operation are considered, The first mode is a research mode, where the FBG sensors are affixed to native chordae in situ and preferably in vivo to provide data on chordae forces in a beating heart under various conditions (e.g., normal, hypertensive, etc.), The second mode is a clinical mode, where the FBG sensor can be used to measure tension on a prosthetic neochord during the surgical procedure to implant the prosthesis.

Abstract: A sensor to sense pressure in a pressure bottle and a method of assembling the sensor involve two or more fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) affixed to a different radial location of a diaphragm seal of the pressure bottle. The sensor includes a light source to provide incident light to the two or more FBGs, and a photodetector to detect reflected light resulting from the two or more FBGs. Processing circuitry determines a pressure change in the pressure bottle based on the reflected light resulting from each of the two or more FBGs.

Abstract: A retrographic sensor includes a transparent structure, a transparent elastomeric pad, and an at least partially reflective layer. One or more light sources emit light into a side surface of the transparent structure. The light undergoes internal reflection in the transparent structure and is reflected toward a camera oriented toward the transparent structure. The at least partially reflective layer may be semi-specular in some embodiments.

Abstract: A tactile and/or optical distance sensor includes a housing, which has at least one elongate portion, a measurement arm, which is arranged in the housing, at least partially extends through the elongate portion and has a tactile and/or an optical probe element at one end, a transducer, which is configured to capture a position of the tactile probe element or a signal of the optical probe element and to generate associated probe element measurement signals, and an advance unit, with which the housing is linearly dis-placeable along an advance direction. A strain sensor is located in the region of the measurement arm extending through the elongate portion or at an adjacent region directly adjoining said region. In addition, a system for measuring the roughness of a surface of a workpiece and a method for calibrating a distance sensor or a system are provided.

Abstract: A sensor device including a deflectable membrane made of a 2D nanomaterial, a first optical waveguide for guiding light, disposed adjacent to the membrane and extending along the surface of the membrane at least in a first section, as well as a measuring device for measuring, within the first section the influence of the membrane on an evanescent wave range of the light guided along the first optical waveguide. The influence of the membrane on the light guided in the optical waveguide, in particular on the evanescent wave range of the light, can be measured interferometrically by detecting phasing differences or phase shifts. This allows for a force-free readout of the membrane deflection. By using very thin 2D nanomaterials, the membrane can also react to very quick changes in force.

Abstract: A method and system of compensating for body deformation during image acquisition or external beam treatment includes acquiring image data of a body and peak wavelength data from a plurality of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) disposed on the body aligned along a predetermined coordinate system on the body, such as a cartesian coordinate system. The method further comprises detecting effective shifts of the Bragg wavelengths of the FBGs caused by body deformation during image acquisition, and controlling the movement of the body through a cavity in a scanning device and controlling the acquisition of the image data or external beam treatment during body deformation based on the effective shifts of the Bragg wavelengths of the FBGs.
