The invention relates to a three-dimensional food printing system and method for fabricating porous hydrogel particles having small sizes and high porosity. The inventive method first forms a highly consistent biopolymer solution with desired rheological properties. The biopolymer solution is extruded using a 3D food printing system and then freeze-dried into the desired porous hydrogel particles, having a desired particle size, morphological, structural, thermal and textural properties, and crystallinity. The hydrogel particles can then be utilized for targeted delivery systems for bioactive compounds, nutraceuticals, micronutrients, probiotics, and the like, and can also be used in connection with personalized nutrition and medicine plans and programs.

A broadband readout interface for Hall-effect sensors is presented. This current sensing system includes two high-bandwidth Hall sensors and a fast readout interface having two signal paths, one being a high frequency path and the other being a DC/low frequency path. In one example, the readout interface (ROT) utilizes a 2-way current spinning technique in the DC/low frequency signal path to minimize offset at DC while using high pass filtering in the high frequency signal path to eliminate any offset at the high frequencies. The DC/low frequency signal path measures the Hall voltage from its Hall sensor, while the high frequency signal path can measure the inductive voltage (or an AC Hall voltage) from its Hall sensor.

Abrégé
This invention relates generally to cellulose nanocrystal-based emulsions that can serve as a spray adjuvant for improved agrochemical application efficiency. More particularly, the cellulose nanocrystal-based emulsions are nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions having a semi-liquid formulation of colloidal cellulose nanocrystals and biopolymers that can substitute currently used surfactants and drift reducing agents in agrochemicals. The cellulose nanocrystal-based emulsions are suitable with both water soluble and oil soluble active ingredient chemistries, and the shear characteristics of the emulsions make them suitable for oil in water-based spray applications. Droplet size distribution can be tuned by changing the ingredient concentrations, thus helping control particle drift. Moreover, a stable cross-linked network formation facilitates the entrapment and encapsulation of volatile agrochemical chemistries, thus preventing their volatilization and reducing vapor drift.

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for automatically detecting missing annotations (false negative objects) in 2D material detection data sets. Feature maps of an input image (e.g., image of 2D material obtained from optical microscopic images) are extracted using a backbone of a neural network (e.g., Mask-RCNN). Upon receiving such extracted feature maps, a list of object proposals are outputted by a regional proposal network of the neural network. The list of object proposals refer to the list of objects (visual representation of something in the image) in the input image to be annotated. Such a list of object proposals includes positive proposals (indicating that such objects were annotated) and negative proposals (indicating that such objects were not annotated). The false negative proposals (missing annotations) are then predicted from such a list of object proposals by measuring a self-attention between the positive and negative proposals.

A cell-culture device for measuring forces exerted by cells includes a housing with one or more cell culture sections. Each cell culture section includes one or more compartments for seeding one or more cell types, and each compartment has a bottom surface that is coated with a layer of piezoelectric polydimethylsiloxane (PE-PDMS). Forces exerted by cells can be measured by seeding cells in the cell-culture device and detecting an electrical signal generated by the layer of PE-PDMS. The electrical signal is indicative of a mechanical movement converted to the electrical signal proportional to contractile force exerted from the cells. The electrical signal can be converted to an output of a contractile force measurement.
