  • Wan, Renjie
  • Luo, Ziyuan

Abstract

A system for adding copyright protection to implicit 3D models is provided. The system includes a first MLP module, a second MLP module, a color feature encoder, a message feature encoder, and a feature fusion module. The first MLP module outputs a geometry parameter according to a 3D coordinate parameter obtained from a 3D model source. The second MLP module outputs a base-colors parameter according to a viewing-directions parameter obtained from the 3D model source and outcomes of the first MLP module. The color feature encoder concatenates the geometry parameter, the viewing-directions parameter, and the base-colors parameter to obtain a spatial descriptor and transforms the spatial descriptor to a high-dimensional color feature field. The message feature encoder maps messages to higher dimensions so as to obtain a message feature field. The feature fusion module generates a watermarked color representation and embed the watermarked color representation into the 3D model source.

The present invention relates to a solid-state blended polymer system that has the property of tunable lasing wavelength through adjusting the blending ratio. It can be used for health monitoring, environmental monitoring sensor and tissue imaging. Current materials do not have the broad tunable range; from blue to infra-red across the optical range. By using the same two polymers, it is possible to produce laser emitting blue to red colour. It simplifies the design, eases multi-wavelength laser sensor system integration and therefore, making the production cost-effective.

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical morphologies widely exist in natural and biomimetic materials, which impart preferential functions including liquid and mass transport, energy conversion, and signal transmission for various applications. While notable progress has been made in the design and manufacturing of various hierarchical materials, the state-of-the-art approaches suffer from limited materials selection, high costs, as well as low processing throughput. Herein, by harnessing the configurable elastic crack engineering-controlled formation and configuration of cracks in elastic materials, an effect normally avoided in various industrial processes, the present invention provides a facile and powerful technique to enable the faithful transfer of arbitrary hierarchical structures with broad material compatibility and structural and functional integrity. The present invention provides a cost-effective, large-scale production method of a variety of flexible, inexpensive, and transparent 3D hierarchical and biomimetic materials.

Abstract

This invention provides a filter-free tunable spectrum PD with a layered structure of at least two electrodes and two functional layers. Both functional layers can be a layer, a stack of inorganic semiconductors, an organic semiconductor, an organic/polymer donor/acceptor blend, a hybrid semiconductor or their combinations that has a good charge transport property. The first functional layer absorbs the shorter-wavelength EM waves and is transparent to the longer-wavelength EM waves. The second functional layer absorbs the longer-wavelength EM waves. The detection spectrum window is determined by the difference in wavelengths between the transmission cut-off wavelength of the first functional layer and absorbing edge of the second functional layer, or between the absorption edge of the first functional layer and that of the second functional layer. The present PDs can be used in imaging, thermal therapy, night-vision, Li-Fi, optical communication, environmental detection, agricultural, wellness, bioimage, food, automotive and security monitoring.

Abstract

An active sound barrier has at least one passive sound absorber at or near a boundary location. A microphone provides an output to a frequency division module, in which a plural of frequencies are filtered to provide outputs corresponding to frequency segments of the receiving transducer output at respective ones of the frequencies. An active driving circuit drives plural speakers or output transducers at respective ones of the frequencies, with at least a subset of the speakers or output transducers at or close to the barrier. The speakers or output transducers cooperate with the passive sound absorber to reduce noise across a wide frequency band as well as to effect an electrically switchable soft boundary.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a bias-switchable spectral response high performance PD with multi-mode detection, e.g., dual-mode photoresponses in NIR and visible light ranges. The dual-mode PD has the absorber/spacer type components in its active layer, e.g., a tri-layer configuration of absorber-1 (absorber-1 absorbs the electromagnetic wave of the first wavelength comprising visible light)/optical spacer/absorber-2 (absorber-2 absorbs the electromagnetic wave of the second wavelength comprising IR light). In the presence of IR light, photocurrent generates in the IR light absorbing layer under a reverse bias. In the presence of visible light, photocurrent generates in the visible light absorbing layer under a forward bias. A bias-switchable spectral response PD offers an attractive option for applications in environmental pollution, bio, medical, agricultural, automotive, fishery, food, wellness and security monitoring, detection and imaging in two or different or multiple distinct bands.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a solution or ink composition for fabricating high-performance thin-film transistors. The solution or ink comprises an organic semiconductor and a mediating polymer such as polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, or the like or mixture thereof, in an organic solvent such as chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene. The percentage ratio by weight of semiconductor:mediating polymer ranges from 5:95 to 95:5, and preferably from 20:80 to 80:20. The solution or ink is used to fabricate via solution coating or printing a semiconductor film, followed by drying and thermal annealing if necessary to provide a channel semiconductor for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The resulting OTFT device with said channel semiconductor has afforded OTFT performance, particularly field-effect mobility and current on/off ratio that are superior to those OTFTs with channel semiconductors fabricated without a mediating polymer.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies and is associated with a dismal prognosis. The most common therapeutic option for cervical cancer consists of surgery in early stages, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of the disease. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising administering an anti-cancer compound. More particularly, the present invention relates to an anti-cervical-cancer compound for treating human cervical cancer and tumor.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and one of the leading causes of cancer death. Although treatment options have increased for some patients, overall progress has been modest. Thus, there is a great need to develop new treatments. This invention relates to a method for treating cancer comprising using an anti-cancer compound of formula (I): Garcinia esculenta or chemically synthesized and its specific anticancer/antitumor activity. The invention has a specific application in treating human prostate cancer.

Abstract

This invention is in the field of pharmaceuticals, health supplements and chemical industries. In particular, this invention relates a herbal composition that compensates the Aβ increasing effects of existing treatment, and on the regulatory processing of amyloid-β protein precursor (APP), therefore presenting a significantly more potent treatment for neurodegenerative diseases that does not associate with any β-amyloid increasing effect.
