Abrégé
A method for characterizing gas emissions includes measuring a first optical beam to generate a first time series representing a concentration of a gas species. The first optical beam is transmitted from a geographic center point and retroreflected at a first retroreflection location. The first optical beam defines a first boundary of a sector. The method also includes measuring a second optical beam to generate a second time series representing the concentration of the gas species. The second optical beam is transmitted from the geographic center point and retroreflected at a second retroreflection location. The second optical beam defines a second boundary of the sector. The method also includes determining a location of an emission source within the sector. The location is determined based on temporal variability of the first time series and temporal variability of the second time series.

A surgical port system for use in minimally invasive procedures. The port includes a port shaft configured to receive 3 mm instruments, and a low-profile head assembly designed to minimize external bulk over the skin surface. The port further includes a novel retention assembly comprising an internal retention member and an external retention member. The internal retention member is positioned near the distal end of the port shaft and transitions from a low-profile insertion configuration to an expanded deployed configuration to resist withdrawal. The expansion is achieved via an actuator-operated reservoir secured to the port shaft and configured to transfer fluid through one or more channels to the internal retention member. The retention assembly is specifically configured to minimize the lateral expanse of both internal and external components, making the port system ideal for pediatric surgical applications.

Abrégé
A quantum light source includes a quantum emitter located within both a bullseye cavity and a Fabry-Perot cavity. The Fabry-Perot cavity is formed from first and second mirrors that face each other to define an optical axis extending therebetween. The bullseye cavity lies in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis and in between the first and second mirrors. The quantum emitter may be a quantum dot, a point defect in a crystal (e.g., nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond), an atom, or another type of quantum system. Spontaneous emission from the quantum emitter is strongly coupled into a mode of the Fabry-Perot cavity while the bullseye cavity uses destructive interference to prevent emission of photons along directions transverse to the axis of the Fabry-Perot cavity. Light leaks out of the Fabry-Perot cavity into a well-defined traveling-wave mode that can be efficiently coupled to an optical fiber.

Dynamic windows with adjustable tint give users greater control over flow of light and heat. Reversible metal electrodeposition dynamic windows include (i) a transparent or translucent conductive electrode; (ii) an electrolyte solution in contact with the electrode, the electrolyte solution comprising metal cations that are reversibly electrodeposited onto the transparent electrode upon application of a cathodic potential; and (iii) a counter electrode. The electrolyte solution advantageously includes a small amount of an additive (e.g., an inhibitor, an accelerator, a leveler, or an organic or inorganic molecule that similarly serves to enhance the surface morphology of the metal cations during reversible metal electrodeposition onto the transparent electrode). Such enhancement of surface morphology during the reversible electrodeposition of the metal tinting layer over the electrode enhances one or more of color neutrality, transmittance characteristics of visible wavelengths (e.g., ability to achieve a near 0% transmission privacy state), infrared reflectance, or switching speed.

A method for differentiating gas sources based on temperature includes transmitting an optical beam through a plume emitted by a combustion system. The method includes detecting the optical beam, after propagating through the plume, to obtain an absorption spectrum. The method includes determining, based on the absorption spectrum, a first path-integrated concentration of a gas species, a first temperature of the first path-integrated concentration, a second path-integrated concentration of the gas species, and a second temperature of the second path-integrated concentration. The second temperature is different from the first temperature. The method may further include performing an inversion to obtain a sampled quantity of the gas species within the plume.

A liquid crystal elastomer composite material having well dispersed gold nanorods and a high temperature thermal initiator incorporated therein is described. Shape change in the liquid crystal elastomer composite material may be induced by activating the gold nanorods with near infrared light. Shape change in the liquid crystal elastomer may be made permanent by activating the high temperature thermal initiator with heat generated by the activated gold nanorods. Upon activation of the high temperature thermal initiator, free radicals are generated that cause bond rearrangement in the liquid crystal elastomer network and lead to shape change permanence. Methods of preparing fully functionalized gold nanorods that are non-aggregated and highly dispersed are also disclosed.

Abrégé
Controlling the propagation and interaction of light in complex media has sparked major interest in the last few years. Unfortunately, spatial light modulation devices suffer from limited speed precluding real-time applications such as imaging in live tissue. To address this critical problem, various embodiments use a phase-control technique to characterize complex media based on the use of fast 1D spatial modulators and a 1D-to-2D transformation performed by the same medium being analyzed. Some embodiments use a micro-electro-mechanical grating light valve (GLV) with 1088 degrees of freedom modulated at 350 KHz, enabling unprecedented high-speed wavefront measurements. Some embodiments continuously measure the transmission matrix, calculate the optimal wavefront and project a focus through various dynamic scattering samples in real-time, (e.g., within 2.4 ms per cycle). As such, some embodiments improve, by more than an order of magnitude, prior wavefront shaping modulation speed and open new opportunities for optical processing using 1D-to-2D transformations.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to graph-based mental health condition prediction. In examples, a combination of clinical data and neuroimaging outcomes for a given subject are used to populate a graph data store (e.g., comprising a set of nodes and associated edges corresponding to the subject). A graph neural network (GNN) is used to evaluate associations within the graph data store and/or changes to such associations over time to predict the incidence of BD, MDD, and/or DMDD, among other mental health conditions. Such a GNN thus combines the power of defined data relationships within the graph data store with the pattern detection capabilities of deep learning. In this way, the GNN identifies relationships within the data (e.g., as are embodied in within the graph data store) and feature combinations, thus using clinical data and neuroimaging outcomes to discover relationships that are predictive of such health mental conditions.

Systems and methods to eliminate or reduce the foreign body response (FBR) that occurs when a medical device is implanted into a patient. The FBR causes a chronic inflammatory response that leads to the encapsulation of a medical device by a fibrous capsule. Macrophages have been discovered to become persistent as a result of the implanted biomaterial which occurs by an up-regulation in cFLIP. This persistence of macrophages appears to be the primary driver of the FBR. Re-sensitizing macrophages to apoptosis using a small molecule inhibitor (e.g., YM155) of cFLIP will abrogate the formation of the fibrous capsule in the FBR.

Abrégé
A computer system for intra-ear sensing and stimulating receives, health data, from an earbud sensor. The system repeatedly calculates an exponential moving average (EMA) of a moving window for the received health data. The system compares each calculated exponential moving average with a lower threshold value and an upper threshold value. The upper threshold value and the lower threshold value are determined based, at least in part, upon a saturation level associated within an amplifier performing the adaptive gain control. When the calculated exponential moving average is larger than the upper threshold, the system decreases a gain associated with the amplifier. When the calculated exponential moving average is smaller than the lower threshold, the system increases a gain associated with the amplifier.

Noninvasive imaging plays an important role in determining the size of the transcatheter heart valve (THV) in preparation of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. The identification of the coronary cuspid landmarks or nadirs of each cusp plays a key role in determining the reference points for the two-dimensional (2D) images of the THV. Rather than using nadirs that are currently identified manually upon inspection of 2D computed tomography (CT) images, the methods and systems of the present disclosure utilizing structured 3D dataset of cusps to simultaneously determine the nadirs, which are especially beneficial, particularly when the sizes of cusps have significant difference (i.e., Type 1 aortic valve with two fused leaflets) or the aortic root has a bicuspid configuration rather than a tricuspid configuration.

Abrégé
A novel combinatorial and high-throughput platform that enables rapid screening of complex and heterogeneous copolymer brushes as enzyme immobilization supports named Combinatorial High-throughput Enzyme Support Screening (CHESS). Using a 384 well-plate format, we synthesized arrays of three-component polymer brushes in the microwells using photo-activated surface-initiated polymerization, and immobilized enzymes in situ. The utility of CHESS to identify optimal immobilization supports under thermally and chemically denaturing conditions was demonstrated using Bacillus subtilis Lipase A (LipA). The identification of supports with optimal compositions was validated by immobilizing LipA on polymer-brush modified biocatalyst particles. We further demonstrated that CHESS could be used to predict the optimal composition of polymer brushes a priori for the previously unexplored enzyme, alkaline phosphatase (AlkP). Our findings demonstrate that CHESS represents a predictable and reliable platform for dramatically accelerating the search of chemical compositions for immobilization supports and further facilitate the discovery of biocompatible and stabilizing materials.

Patients with relapsing or refractory cancer have limited treatment options because the knowledge or presence of tumor-associated antigens is lacking. The proposed therapy mounts an antigen-independent anticancer response in a rapid, safe, and targeted manner due to its ability to stimulate innate immune cells in solid tumors, addressing a major, unmet major need in clinical oncology. A holistic system is disclosed capable of preparing and purifying cell samples for adoptive transfer into patients suffering from relapsing and refractory lymphomas and other solid cancers. An acoustofluidic device processes clinically relevant cell samples in a plug-and-play format, offering cell preparation speeds >100× faster than conventional CAR T-cell therapy.

Abrégé
A system for self-seeding a bidirectional mode-locked laser includes a variable retroreflector optically coupled to an output port of the laser. In a first operating state, the variable retroreflector retroreflects output light from the output port back into the output port. In a second operating state, the variable retroreflector does not retroreflect the output light. To use the system, the laser is unidirectionally mode-locked to generate a first pulse train that exits the laser via a first output port. The variable retroreflector, in the first operating state, retroreflects output light from a second output port of the laser back into the laser to initiate bidirectional mode-locking. When the laser transitions to bidirectional mode-locking, this output light becomes a second pulse train. The variable retroreflector is then transitioned to the second operating state such that the second pulse train can be used for the application at hand.
