Machine vision system for precision dimensional measurements and online SPC (2003)

A two-camera ROM-based machine vision system has been engineered for use on industrial processes and manufacturing lines where precision length measurements are required on the fly. A Mnemonics Inc. system has been employed successfully for continuous web processes where pattern length is critical, but it also can be used for dimensional measurements of moving discrete parts. Applications to date have been on patterned webs that are tension-sensitive. System accuracy is +or-0.002 in with repeatability of +or-0.0005 in. The authors discuss: measurement considerations relating to elastic webs in tension; system hardware, including the solid-state array camera scanner; and PC-AT-compatible system software that provides both real-time and offline statistical process control (SPC) analysis capabilities. Charts include X-bar, range or sigma, and data distribution histograms.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
“Very Well Differentiated Tubular Adenocarcinoma” of the Stomach: Its Endoscopic and Histopathological Characteristics (1994)

Between 1986 and 1991, 31 patients having tubular adenocarcinoma with low cellular and structural atypism ("very well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma:" tub 0) underwent surgery at the National Cancer Center Hospital (NCCH). Histologically, the 31 lesions in the 31 patients were very similar to those observed in gastric adenoma (World Health Organization) with severe atypism. Their malignancy could be diagnosed only on the basis of cellular atypism, i.e., uneven distribution of chromatin in the nucleus accompanied by irregularity in the size or shape of the spindle-form nucleus, abnormal nuclear polarity and/or obvious nucleoli. Histologically, the border between the tub 0 and adenomatous areas ('front line' of carcinoma) could not be identified within the neoplastic lesion, which showed relatively regularly shaped tubuli (less structural atypism). Of the 31 cases, 30 were solitary early gastric cancer (EGC). Their clinicopathological features were compared with those of 34 cases of gastric adenoma, 237 cases of solitary well differentiated (tub 1) and 127 cases of moderately differentiated (tub 2) tubular adenocarcinoma which had been resected at the NCCH during the same period. Most (75%) of the 30 tub 0 EGCs were type IIc (depressed) macroscopically, despite their histological similarity to gastric adenoma which showed a high (90%) elevated appearance incidence. The incidence of small lesions, < 2 cm in diameter, was highest in gastric adenoma (82%), followed by tub 0 (64%), although the tub 0 lesions showed a wide range of sizes. Small lesions were less frequent in the tub 1 (43%) and tub 2 (33%) cases. The incidence of submucosal invasion was significantly lower in tub 0 cases (17%) than in tub 1 (39%) and tub 2 (46%) cases (P < 0.05). No lymph node metastasis was seen in tub 0 cases, but was seen in 6.4% and 9.4% of tub 1 and tub 2 cases, respectively. With regard to the endoscopic appearance of depressed mucosal cancer, the incidence of encroachment (moth-eaten appearance) on the tips of folds was significantly lower (10%) and the appearance of marginal elevation was significantly higher (79%) in tub 0 than in tub 1 (each P < 0.05) or tub 2 (each P < 0.01). The results suggest that 'tub 0' can be regarded as a less malignant but not benign tumor, and that its endoscopic characteristics provide valuable information which can be used to ensure that patients receive suitable treatment.
A new general purpose compression method for searching in large collection (2007)

Reduction of both compression ratio and retrieval of data from large collection is important in any computation requiring human interface. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for general purpose compression scheme that can be applied to all types of data storage in large collections. The paper presents a fast compression and decompression technique for natural language texts. The technique used in compressing text allows searching phrase in the compressed form without decompressing the compressed file. The algorithm suggested here uses static dictionary in matrix form, which reduces the compression and decompression time. The memory requirement of the algorithm is almost negligible.
Development of a Thermal Control Architecture for the Mars Exploration Rovers (2003)

In May and June of 2003, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will launch two roving science vehicles on their way to Mars. They will land on Mars in January and February of 2004 and carry out 90‐Sol missions. This paper addresses the thermal design architecture of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) developed for Mars surface operations. The surface atmosphere temperature on Mars can vary from 0°C in the heat of the day to −100°C in the early morning, prior to sunrise. Heater usage at night must be minimized in order to conserve battery energy. The desire to minimize nighttime heater energy led to a design in which all temperature sensitive electronics and the battery were placed inside a well‐insulated (carbon‐opacified aerogel lined) Warm Electronics Box (WEB). In addition, radioisotope heater units (RHU’s, non‐electric heat sources) were mounted on the battery and electronics inside the WEB. During the Martian day, the electronics inside the WEB dissipate a large amount of energy (over 710 W*hrs). This heat energy raises the internal temperatures inside the WEB. Hardware items that have similar temperature limits were conductively coupled together to share heat and concentrate thermal mass. Thermal mass helped to minimize temperature increases in the hot case (with maximum internal dissipation) and minimize temperature decreases in the cold case (with minimum internal dissipation). In order to prevent the battery from exceeding its maximum allowable flight temperature, wax‐actuated passive thermal switches were placed between the battery and an external radiator. This paper discusses the design philosophies and system requirements that resulted in a successful Mars rover thermal design.
Tissue restoration: approaches and prospects (1996)

This article summarizes the results of three basic research approaches directed toward achieving the restoration of injured or diseased human tissues. The three approaches are (1) to understand the differences in the molecular characteristics of cells and their environments in tissues which exhibit regenerative capacity at one stage of the life cycle but not at another; (2) to understand the molecular mechanisms whereby tissues regenerate by means of reserve progenitor cells or progenitor cells formed by dedifferentiation; and (3) to design artificial tissues for implantation into the body. These strategies should allow us to locate the key switchpoints which determine regeneration versus repair and how to reconfigure those switchpoints into a regenerative circuit where necessary or to build tissues in vitro that can serve as in vivo substitutes. For these strategies to be successful, we must understand the role of the immune system in repair and regeneration and the developmental roles of regulatory molecules, such as growth factors, trophic factors, extracellular matrix components, and the protein products of patterning genes, as well as the intracellular signaling systems activated by these molecules. The examples used to illustrate these themes are repair versus regeneration in wounded mammalian skin, the regeneration of injured mammalian bone and muscle by reserve progenitor cells, and the regeneration of the urodele limb, neural retina, and lens by progenitor cells produced by dedifferentiation. In addition, several approaches used in the construction of bioartificial tissues are discussed.

Monopolar Radiofrequency Treatment of the Eyelids (2007)

BACKGROUND Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy has been used to successfully accomplish noninvasive skin tightening of the face, abdomen, and extremities. Owing to concerns about injury to the eye itself, monopolar RF treatment of the eyelids has not been feasible. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the safety of a novel 0.25-cm2“shallow” treatment tip for noninvasive tightening of eyelid skin. METHODS AND MATERIALS This was a tripartite study that began with an animal model to evaluate soft tissue effects and temperature change at the ocular surface. Findings were then extrapolated to ex vivo evaluation of human eyelids and ultimately to an in vivo human eyelid safety study. RESULTS The animal studies demonstrated that the 0.25-cm2 treatment tip could be used safely on eyelids in conjunction with appropriate ocular protection. The ex vivo human eyelid studies confirmed that, at typical treatment settings, the shallow treatment tip did not produce frank eyelid injury. The in vivo human studies confirmed that, at the tested settings, the novel treatment tip did not injure the eyelids or eyes. CONCLUSION If used properly, the 0.25-cm2 treatment tip can be safely used on human eyelids.
Design of 0.35-mm pitch QFP lead and its assembly technology (1995)

The solder joint reliability of a 0.35-mm lead pitch, 42-mm wide/spl times/42-mm long/spl times/23-mm high, 396 pin, ceramic quad flat package (QFP) was studied in terms of: 1) finite element analysis simulation; and 2) temperature cycling tests between -65/spl deg/C and +125/spl deg/C. Using the study results, physical design of the QFP leads, in terms of thickness, standoff, and Au surface finish were optimized. If the von Mises stress of a QFP solder joint can be optimized to be no more 16.7 kilogram square millimeter, we can guarantee QFP solder joint reliability over requested design life. Also, we developed a thermocompression (T/C) soldering process for the QFP.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Flexible data storage for mobile computing (1999)

In this paper we describe a flexible object storage system aimed at supporting collaborative applications in largescale environments that include mobile computers. We present an integrated solution to two major problems that arise in such environments: data availability and concurrency control. The first is tackled by the flexible combination of weakly consistent server replication and .client caching. The second is tackled through an open object framework that enables easy object development using type specific conflict detection and resolution. This object storage serves as a supporting platform to build distributed and mobile collaborative applications.
Diet and weight gain characteristics of pregnant women with gestational diabetes (2009)

To determine if women with gestational diabetes (GD) modify their diet and nutrient intake in late pregnancy and gain more weight during pregnancy compared with women without GD. Food and nutrient intake of 3613 pregnant women was studied using food frequency questionnaires from the Type I Diabetes Prediction and Prevention Nutrition Study. GD was reported in 4.8% of the participating women (n=174). Women with GD gained less weight during pregnancy than those unaffected by GD (mean 9.4 vs 12.6 kg, P<0.001). Women with GD consumed more milk products (84 vs 76 g/MJ, P=0.002), cereal products (21 vs 18 g/MJ, P<0.001), vegetables (32 vs 22 g/MJ, P<0.001) and meat (16 vs 14 g/MJ, P<0.001) than unaffected women. The intake of protein (18 vs 16 percent of total daily energy intake, P<0.001) and dietary fibre (3.1 vs 2.4 g/MJ, P<0.001) was higher, whereas the intake of sugars (13.3 vs 15.0 g/MJ, P<0.001) and saturated fatty acids (3.49 vs 3.98 g/MJ, P<0.001) was lower among women with GD. The nutrient density of the diet was higher in women with GD with higher intakes of vitamins A and D, folate and iron. The late pregnancy diet of women with GD differed considerably from that of unaffected women. Women with GD had a higher body weight at the beginning of the pregnancy, but they gained less weight during pregnancy. These findings indicate that abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy encourages women to modify their dietary habits towards healthier food choices.
A Study of the Physical Properties of Li-Ion Battery Electrolytes Containing Esters (2018)

Adding esters as co-solvents to Li-ion battery electrolytes can improve low-temperature performance and rate capability of cells. This work uses viscosity and electrolytic conductivity measurements to evaluate electrolytes containing various ester co-solvents, and their suitability for use in high-rate applications is probed. Among the esters studied, methyl acetate (MA) outperforms other esters in its impact on the conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte. Therefore, viscosity and conductivity were measured as a function of temperature and LiPF<sub>6</sub> concentration for electrolytes ethylene carbonate (EC): linear carbonate: MA in the ratio 30:(70-x):x, where linear carbonate = {ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC)}, and x = {0, 10, 20, 30}. Adding MA leads to an increase in conductivity and decrease in viscosity over all conditions. Calculations of electrolyte properties from a model based on a statistical-mechanical framework, the Advanced Electrolyte Model (AEM), are compared to all measurements and excellent agreement is found. All electrolytes studied roughly agree with a Stokes’ Law model of conductivity. In conclusion, a Walden analysis shows that the ionicity of the electrolyte is not significantly impacted by either MA content or LiPF<sub>6</sub> concentration. Li[Ni<sub>0.5</sub>Mn<sub>0.3</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>]O<sub>2</sub>/graphite cells containing MA were cycled at charging rates up to 2C and showed improved cycling performance.
Biological Optical-to-Chemical Signal Conversion Interface: A\n Small-scale Modulator for Molecular Communications (2018)

Although many exciting applications of molecular communication (MC) systems\nare envisioned to be at microscale, the MC testbeds reported so far are mostly\nat macroscale. To link the macroworld to the microworld, we propose and\ndemonstrate a biological signal conversion interface that can also be seen as a\nmicroscale modulator. In particular, the proposed interface transduces an\noptical signal, which is controlled using an LED, into a chemical signal by\nchanging the pH of the environment. The modulator is realized using E. coli\nbacteria as microscale entity expressing the light-driven proton pump\ngloeorhodopsin from Gloeobacter violaceus. Upon inducing external light\nstimuli, these bacteria locally change their surrounding pH level by exporting\nprotons into the environment. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed\noptical-to-chemical signal converter, we analyze the pH signal measured by a pH\nsensor, which serves as receiver. We develop an analytical parametric model for\nthe induced chemical signal as a function of the applied optical signal. Using\nthis model, we derive a training-based channel estimator which estimates the\nparameters of the proposed model to fit the measurement data. We further derive\nthe optimal maximum likelihood detector and a suboptimal low-complexity\ndetector to recover the transmitted data from the measured received signal. It\nis shown that the proposed parametric model is in good agreement with the\nmeasurement data. Moreover, for an example scenario, we show that the proposed\nsetup is able to successfully convert an optical signal representing a sequence\nof binary symbols into a chemical signal with a bit rate of 1 bit/minute and\nrecover the transmitted data from the chemical signal using the proposed\nestimation and detection~schemes. The proposed modulator may form the basis for\nfuture MC testbeds and applications at microscale.\n

ARTIFICIAL CULTURE TECHNIQUES FOR REARING LARVAE OF THE CHALCIDOID PARASITE, BRACHYMERIA INTERMEDIA (1980)

The respiration of pupae of Trichoplusia ni decreased considerably following parasitization by the chalcidoid Brachymeria intermedia. Furthermore, the process of host tissue development appeared to be arrested within 48 hr indicating that this parasite quickly kills the host insect. The rate of oxygen consumption of parasitized pupae corresponded well with the observed development of the parasite. Parasite larvae fed actively and grew on conventional defined artificial media and larval development was completed on several diets of variable composition. However, following the elimination of the meconium most individuals died as prepupae. Few pupae were obtained and no adults emerged. Survival appeared to correlate with the observable protein content of developing larvae and possible factors influencing further development were discussed. RÉSUMÉ ETUDES PRELIMINAIRES SUR LE DEVELOPPEMENT DE TECHNIQUES D'ELEVAGES ARTIFICIELS DU CHALCIDIEN PARASITOIDE , BRACHYMERIA INTERMEDIA NEES La respiration des chrysalides de Trichoplusia ni diminue brutalement après attaque par Brachymeria intermedia. De plus, le développement des tissus de l'hôte paraît être arreté en 48 h, montrant que ce parasite tue rapidement l'insecte hôte. Le taux de consommation de la nymphe parasitée correspond bien au développement observé du parasite. Les larves du parasite consomment activement et croissent sur substrat artificiel conventionnel et le développement larvaire est complet sur différents régimes de compositions variables. Cependant, à la suite de l'élimination du méconium, la plupart des individus meurent en prénymphes. Quelques nymphes sont obtenues mais aucun adulte n'émerge. La survie paraît liée à la teneur mesurable de proteïnes de la larve en développement; des facteurs pouvant influer sur le développement ultérieurs sont discutés.
Abstract 5298: Two distinctive single nucleotide polymorphisms determine liver metastases responses to docetaxel plus thiotepa for metastatic breast cancer patients. (2013)

Abstract The successful predictively treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains a major challenge. Until now there is no definite marker to distinguish responder from non-responder and more and more important, metastasis occurred within different organs lead to serious variations of overall survival. In this study, paclitaxel and anthracyclines pretreated153 patients with MBC received 606 cycles of docetaxel plus thiotepa. 65 of 153 patients were concurrently diagnosed as MBC involved liver metastasis (LM). Among 153 patients, the response were 1 complete response (CR) (0.7%), 25 partial responses (PR) (16.3%), 73 stable diseases (SD) (47.7%), 46 progressive diseases (PD) (30.1%) and 8 unevaluable(5.2%). For LM patients, the localized liver response were 2 CR (3.1%), 20 PR (30.8%), 16 SD (24.6%), 22 PD (33.8%),5 unevaluable (7.7%). Median PFS and OS for both entire and LM subgroup were 6.5 (95% CI, 5.6 to 7.4) versus 4.2 (95%CI, 2.3-6.1), and 20.0 (95% CI, 15.6 to 24.4) versus 14.2 (95%CI, 9.5-18.9) months respectively. 79 SNPs in CYP450, whose minor allele frequency were ≥ 10% were genotyped. There was no significant difference of SNPs in therapeutic responses, PFS or OS. Of importance, there were two distinctive SNPs, rs2277119 and rs4646487 *2/*3 alleles, which tended to have the better liver metastases response than *1 when choosing a false discovery rate as 12%. It seemed that docetaxel plus thiotepa might be regarded as an active specific regimen for MBC with liver metastasis. The generation of conceptually specific chemotherapy targeting the organ with cancer metastasis should be considered in the future.

Sol-gel doped-PZT thin films for integrated tunable capacitors (2015)

Integrated metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors using sol-gel PZT doped with lanthanum (La, PLZT), manganese (Mn, PMZT) and niobium (Nb, PNZT) were successfully processed and characterized for tunable applications. Dielectric properties of doped-PZT were investigated and compared to those of pure PZT. Wafer-level measurements were conducted with a particular attention on tunability evaluation under DC bias voltage. Tunability, leakage current density and breakdown voltage of pure PZT thin films were 77.6% (i.e. 4.5:1) at 10kHz/10V, 4.8.10−5 A/cm2 at 870kV and 37.5V (i.e. 1.63 MV/cm) respectively. The breakdown voltage increased by 25% with La doping and by 50% with Nb and Mn. The lowest leakage current were achieved by PNZT (7.0.10−7 A/cm2 at 870kV) while PMZT films exhibited an outstanding tunability reaching 88.8% (i.e. 8.9:1) at 100 kHz and 20V. Enhanced performances of the developed doped-PZT were compared to the state of the art. Results indicate that electrical properties of sol-gel doped-PZT achieved those of conventionally deposited materials. It is noteworthy that obtained PMZT tunability is among the highest ones reported in the literature for PZT-derived thin films but also for other piezoelectric materials.
