Electrically-activated catheter using polypyrrole actuators: cycling effects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of cycling on charge-storage, actuation and sensing behavior of a polypyrrole is studied, having its application for an electroactive catheter in mind. It is shown that the electrochemical capacitance of a polypyrrole film decreases by about 15 % over the course of 100 cycles, while the per cycle rate of this decrease drops by 75 % between the first and the last ten cycles, implying that a steady-state value may exist. The decrease in capacitance is shown to have a significant effect on actuation strain. In order to achieve a more constant capacitance and more robust actuation performance, it is proposed to pre-cycle the potential of the film to exhaust the effect of processes that contribute to the decrease in capacitance and allow it to reach a more constant value. The ability of a polypyrrole film to generate currents corresponding to applied external load during actuation is verified and the cycle life time of such a sensor is studied. It is shown that after an initial decrease, the sensor current reaches a steady-state value as well, and maintains that value at least over 5600 cycles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
