We used Kapton polyimide film as an adhesive substrate to attach on a certain level of free-form surface and silver nanoparticles (576, 832, <100-nm diameter, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) as printing materials. The printing process is occurred by mechanical movements of substrate driven by multi-axis stage (SGSP20, Sigma Koki, Japan) with a velocity of 0.2 mms−1 which is controlled by LabVIEW 2015 and NI USB 6009 modules (National Instrument, Austin, TX, USA). The AgNPs erupted from a nozzle with an inner diameter of 150 µm (Taeha Co., Korea). After a wiring and soldering process using silver paste (conductive paste, 735,825, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) at the tip of printed line pattern, UV curable adhesives (UV-3300, Skycares Co., Gimpo, Korea) are wrapped for electrical insulation and mechanical protection from external stimulation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The transient changes of the dark-adapted Pr state of the Cph1 WT and variants after light activation were measured with a purpose-built flash photolysis spectrometer. The probes were excited using single ~ 3 ns flashes from a mid-band OPO (Horizon, Amplitude) pumbed by an Nd:YAG Laser (Surelite EX, Amplitude) at 640 nm with an pulse energy of 20 mJ. A photomultiplier tube (PMT, S4710, Hamamatsu) recorded changes in absorption at 705 nm of the excited sample. Possible scattered excitation laser light was suppressed by a 645 long pass filter (RG-645, Schott) and a monochromator. The changes in PMT voltage before excitation (U0) and over time (U(t)) were recorded using an oscilloscope (9350, LeCroy) and a data acquisition system (NI-USB-6009, National Instruments). Data were processed in a self-written LabView program to calculate the changes in absorption over time (ΔA(t)) as ΔAt=lnU0Ut.
Single shot experiments are presented, and the transient is fitted by a sum of n exponentials with the time constants τn of the different intermediates and their respective amplitudes An ΔAt=nAnet/τn.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The shear force probe was produced by pulling a fused silica capillary (200 Gm ID, 790 Gm OD) to ~20 Gm OD. Pulling parameters: Line1, Heat 650, Fil 4, Vel 80, Del 130, Pull 60; Line2, Heat 650, Fil 4, Vel 50, Del 130, Pull 60. The shear-force probe was installed according to our previous method.23 (link) Two piezoelectric ceramic plates (3.8 MHz, Steiner &Martins, Inc. Doral, FL) were attached to the shear force probe. The upper plate used to induce the probe oscillation was connected to a waveform generator (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The detection piezo was positioned closer to the sample and connected to a lock-in amplifier (Stanford Research Systems, Sunnyvale, CA) to detect the amplitude of the shear-force probe vibration. The signal from the shear force probe was converted by NI USB 6009 (National Instrument, Austin, TX), and then processed and synchronized with the high-resolution motorized XYZ stage (Zaber Technologies, Vancouver, BC) controlled with a custom-designed LabVIEW software.

Residual Limb EMG Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wet-gel Ag/AgCl surface electrodes (Ambu, NF-50-K) are used for EMG measurement. Two channels of EMG signals are collected from the dorsiflexor and plantar flexor muscles of amputee subject’s residual shank (Figures 2A,B), respectively. Positions for electrode placement are determined by palpation. One electrode is placed on the bony area of the knee as the reference electrode. EMG signals are differentially amplified with a gain of 1000, full-wave rectified and lower-pass filtered with a Butterworth filter, whose cutoff frequency is 2.0 Hz. Then, the signals are amplified with a gain of 10. The above signal processing is accomplished by a self-designed circuit. The processed signals are transmitted to a host computer through a data acquisition (DAQ) card (National Instruments, NI-USB-6009). The sampling rate for signal collection is 1000 Hz.

The target signal was created and displayed on the monitor with custom made MATLAB scripts (version 2014b, Math Works Inc, USA), while an interface was created for triggering and synchronizing all devices with a single pulse. The force platform signal was digitized with a 14-bit resolution A/D card (NI USB-6009, National Instruments, USA) at 1000 Hz sampling rate and the anterior-posterior component was normalized to the foot length and was returned as input to the monitor for the vertical position of the yellow dot, with the full height of the screen representing 100% of foot length. The refresh rate of the dots was set at 50 fps.
The EMG signals were captured with a wireless EMG system (myon m320, myon AG, Schwarzenberg, Switzerland). The signal was pre-amplified (gain: 500, input impedance: 2 MΩ, bandwidth: 5–500 Hz) and transmitted at 12-bit resolution with 1000 Hz sampling frequency. All digitized signals were stored for further processing.

C⁴D-based DNA Amplification Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA amplification reactions (in paper discs) were detected using a homemade C4D module comprising both the current-to-voltage signal converter and signal treatment circuits. It was constructed according to Silva et al. [33 (link)]. The entire homemade C4D detection system uses a sinusoidal wave provided by a function generator (model DS335, SRS Stanford Research Instruments, California, USA) that goes through the excitation electrode. The receiver electrode is connected to the C4D detection module, and then to an ADC converter (National Instruments, NI USB-6009) allowing digitalization and computer data acquisition by means of a LabVIEW-based software with a time resolution of 1 ms. Optimization experiments were performed by applying a 400, 500, or 600 kHz sinusoidal wave with 1 Vpp amplitude to the excitation electrode.

For evaluating the dynamic pressure/strain sensing
performance of the graphene-PDMS foam sensor, the sensor was subjected
to compressive strains at three different frequencies using the same
minishaker setup described previously. The sensor was driven at 10,
35, and 70 Hz frequencies using a Rigol function generator connected
to a Brüel & Kjær (model number 2718) power amplifier.
The voltage output from the Wheatstone bridge circuit was acquired
by employing the National Instruments data acquisition system (DAQ,
NI USB-6009) and recorded using National Instruments Signal express
software at a sampling rate of 1 kHz.

Horizontal Force Measurement During Running

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The AO30 tests were performed on a standardized non-motorized treadmill20 (link)–22 (link). Subjects ran with an inextensible steel cable in series with a load cell (CSL/ZL-500, MK Controle e Instrumentação Ltda, Brazil) attached to their waist for a directly horizontal force measurement22 (link). Vertical force during the running test was also captured by four load cells positioned under a platform (NMT). Velocity was obtained as the first derivative of the treadmill displacement using a Hall-effect sensor. Thus, power was obtained by the product between force and velocity. The acquisition system consisted of a strain gauge (CSA/ZL-500 MK Control, Sao Paulo, Brazil), a portable amplifier (MKTC5–10, MK Control, Sao Paulo, Brazil) and an acquisition module (NI USB-6009, National Instruments, Austin, USA). Mechanical measures were captured via signals (LabView Signal Express 2009 National Instruments®) with 1000 Hz acquisition. The NMT system was calibrated daily21 (link) modulated and subsequently transferred to MatLab (R2008a MatLab®, MathWorkstm). Peak, mean and minimum of the force and power were displayed in absolute and relative body mass values.

Visual Stimulation for Fish Behavioral Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In goldfish and carp experiments, visual stimulation was provided by a servo-controlled planetarium that could be rotated 360° around the vertical axis at speeds ranging from 0 to 100°/s constant velocity2 (link),3 (link),26 . The planetarium projected a random light spot pattern on to the walls of the water tank. The rotational axis of the planetarium was carefully aligned to the center of the animal’s head at the level of the horizontal semicircular canals. Horizontal and vertical eye including planetarium positions were measured by a potentiometer (Midori Precisions Co., Ltd., Japan). The signals were continuously digitized at a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz in 16-bits with the use of a Power1401 interface (Cambridge Electronic Design, UK) for display and storage using the Spike2 program. The commands to drive the planetarium were also generated in Spike2 and D/A converted by Power1401.
In the zebrafish and medaka experimental setup, the visual stimulus was also a random light spots pattern projected on to the wall of the water tank by a planetarium placed under the transparent floor of the tank rotated by a servomotor (CM1-17L30A, MUSCLE Corporation) by using LabVIEW via a DAQ (NI USB-6009, NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS)19 (link).
