The image sensor operates using photodiode integrations and lateral overflow integrations in low light condition and achieves a wide dynamic range (DR) performance of around 100 dB in its one exposure. The wide DR performance in one exposure makes high S/N ratios at the signal switching points in the multiple exposures. The CMOS image sensor also operates using the column capacitor integration in very bright light condition. In the column capacitor integration, the photocurrents generated at the photodiodes are directly integrated at the column capacitors in each column line. The combination of two exposures using the photodiode integrations and the lateral overflow integrations and one exposure using the column capacitors leads to the whole linear photo-electric conversion responses from low light to very bright light region.

DeepContext: Context-Encoding Neural Pathways for 3D Holistic Scene Understanding (2016)

While deep neural networks have led to human-level performance on computer vision tasks, they have yet to demonstrate similar gains for holistic scene understanding. In particular, 3D context has been shown to be an extremely important cue for scene understanding - yet very little research has been done on integrating context information with deep models. This paper presents an approach to embed 3D context into the topology of a neural network trained to perform holistic scene understanding. Given a depth image depicting a 3D scene, our network aligns the observed scene with a predefined 3D scene template, and then reasons about the existence and location of each object within the scene template. In doing so, our model recognizes multiple objects in a single forward pass of a 3D convolutional neural network, capturing both global scene and local object information simultaneously. To create training data for this 3D network, we generate partly hallucinated depth images which are rendered by replacing real objects with a repository of CAD models of the same object category. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm compared to the state-of-the-arts. Source code and data are available at http://deepcontext.cs.princeton.edu.

Valorisation d'un résidu industriel pour la production d'hydrogène par un procédé intensifié de vaporeformage du glycérol (2019)

La capture du CO2 est, de nos jours, une opération très convoitée car elle permet de réduire les émissions des gaz à effets de serre. Elle peut également être appliquée dans l’intensification des procédés de vaporeformage par l’utilisation des adsorbants chimiques «haute-température» (vaporeformage couplé avec la capture in-situ du CO2 (sorption-enhanced steam reforming, SESR)), afin d’augmenter significativement la pureté de l’hydrogène en une seule étape. Parmi les adsorbants solides utilisés dans ce procédé, ceux qui sont à base de CaO ont montré une certaine efficacité. Toutefois, l’agglomération des particules de CaO au cours de l’opération cyclique carbonatation/régénération rend leur utilisation à échelle industrielle difficile. L’ajout de composants inertes à l’adsorbant est l’une des stratégies utilisées afin d’augmenter sa stabilité. L’objectif principal de ce travail est la valorisation d’un résidu métallurgique (oxyde d’UGS, UGSO) afin de développer un matériau hybride adsorbant-catalyseur pour application dans la production d’hydrogène de haute pureté par SESR du glycérol. Plusieurs échantillons contenant des proportions différentes UGSO/CaO ont été préparés et testés pour évaluer l'efficacité de l’UGSO dans la stabilisation de l’adsorbant. Les expériences ont été réalisées en utilisant un analyseur gravimétrique intelligent (IGA, Hiden Isochema). Pour tous les échantillons étudiés, une meilleure stabilité a été enregistrée lors de l’ajout de l’UGSO. Les résultats ont montré que l’échantillon contenant 10% en masse UGSO a présenté la meilleure stabilité avec une conversion de CaO de 76% au 18ème cycle carbonatation/régénération, contre une conversion de 55% pour l’échantillon CaO pur testé dans les mêmes conditions. Ce meilleur rapport UGSO/CaO a été ensuite utilisé pour préparer un matériau hybride adsorbant-catalyseur et ses performances ont été testées dans le procédé SESR du glycérol. Les résultats ont montré une production d’hydrogène de pureté élevée avec un rendementde 96%. Les résultats obtenus dans ce mémoire peuvent contribuer à l’optimisation du procédé de vaporeformage du glycérol couplé à l’adsorption in-situ duCO2.

A high power and highly efficient multi-band power amplifier for mobile terminals (2010)

This paper presents a highly efficient multi-band heterojunction bipolar transistor power amplifier (PA) employing reconfigurable matching networks (MNs). The MN consists of field effect transistor switches and achieves the desired matching condition in the target frequency band by controlling the on/off status of switches. The fabricated reconfigurable PA has 3-stage and operates in 9 bands from 0.7 to 2.5 GHz, i.e., 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.3, and 2.5-GHz bands, with over a 30 dB gain. It also achieves an output power of greater than 34 dBm and a power added efficiency of over 40% at the supply voltage of 3.5 V in each operating band.
A Sweeping Jet Application on a High Reynolds Number Semi-Span Supercritical Wing Configuration (2017)

The FAST-MAC circulation control model was modified to test an array of unsteady sweeping-jet actuators at realistic flight Reynolds numbers in the National Transonic Facility at the NASA Langley Research Center. Two types of sweeping jet actuators were fabricated using rapid prototype techniques, and directed over a 15% chord simple-hinged flap. The model was configured for low-speed high-lift testing with flap deflections of 30 deg and 60 deg, and a transonic cruise configuration having a 0 deg flap deflection. For the 30 deg flap high-lift configuration, the sweeping jets achieved comparable lift performance in the separation control regime, while reducing the mass flow by 54% as compared to steady blowing. The sweeping jets however were not effective for the 60 deg flap. For the transonic cruise configuration, the sweeping jets reduced the drag by 3.3% at an off-design condition. The drag reduction for the design lift coefficient for the sweeping jets offer is only half the drag reduction shown for the steady blowing case (6.5%), but accomplished this with a 74% reduction in mass flow.
Self-assembly of Inorganic Nanotubes Synthesised by the Chemical Transport Reaction (2005)

The chemical transport reaction, known as a standard method for growth of transition metal dichalcogenides, was found to be a successful technique for the synthesis of MoS 2 and WS 2 inorganic nanotubes. While microtubes usually grow as single tubes, the nanotubes combine to build ropes formed by coaxial or side-by-side growth of primary nanotubes. The nanoropes also grow by self-assembly of the nanotube or by coalescence of single tubes. Association of nanotubes or narrow nanoropes reveals the effect of attractive long-range forces.
Compositional verification using interface recognizers/suppliers (irs) (2001)

In this thesis, we review recent developments in compositional and assume guarantee verification. We discuss whether each method supports circular/non circular reasoning and whether it can be used when proving safety/liveness properties. 
We formulate interface recognizers/suppliers (IRS), which are recognizers augmented with Boolean constraints. The constraints specify what values may occur on IRS inputs at each state. In other words, IRS can constrain its inputs. 
We discuss a composition theorem for circular reasoning using IRS. In this way, IRS framework extends non-circular constraint model checking [25] to a circular constrainted model checking. 
We demonstrate an application of IRS in (1) specifying environment assumptions and in (2) modeling pre conditions/post conditions of properties of an ATM switch. Using IRS, we specify and then verify the switch.
A power control and scheduling concept for EGPRS (2002)

In existing cellular systems power control is used to save battery and to increase radio network capacity. In packet radio systems scheduling and channel allocation have similar characteristics: the quality (data rate) can be increased at the cost of higher energy use. In this paper a concept combining the functions in order to minimize energy use is presented. Furthermore, an interference area model is introduced. With this model the concept can be extended to minimize interference. The concept can be applied to the design of battery saving and spectrum efficient algorithms.

Objective antihistamine side effects are mitigated by evening dosing of hydroxyzine. (1991)

First-generation antihistamines have potency, pharmacokinetic, and cost advantages compared with nonsedating second-generation antihistamines. Bedtime dosing of hydroxyzine was investigated as a dosing strategy to minimize reaction time degradation and adverse subjective symptoms previously documented for hydroxyzine in divided doses. Hydroxyzine, 50 mg qhs, was compared with terfenadine, 60 mg bid, in this double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study of 15 healthy, asymptomatic adults. Computer-based eye-hand reaction time tests of simple reaction time (SRT) and choice reaction time (CRT) were not statistically different among the three drugs. Drowsiness, dry mouth, and irritability were significant for hydroxyzine (P = .0001, .001 and .02, respectively) compared with terfenadine or placebo, but less than seen in a previous study of hydroxyzine, 25 mg bid. Symptom scores with terfenadine were comparable to placebo. Histamine skin test wheal and flare were both significantly and comparably suppressed by hydroxyzine and terfenadine (P = .0001). While wheal suppression by hydroxyzine was universal, four of the 15 subjects showed little or no suppression with terfenadine (P = .03). Although bedtime dosing of hydroxyzine did not eliminate subjective symptoms, it maintained skin H1-receptor antagonism the following morning and alleviated the prolongation of reaction times previously reported with hydroxyzine in divided doses. The significant adverse subjective symptoms and psychomotor performance degradations caused by first-generation antihistamines can be mitigated by creative dosing schedules.
An evaluation of the network simulators in large-scale distributed simulations (2011)

Networks for the smart grids are characterized by millions of sensor nodes exchanging information about the status of the grid. This information exchange must be realized reliably and efficiently due to the mission critical nature of the power grid. Hence, the applications and the network protocols developed for the smart grid need go through rigorous testing and analysis before deployment. Developers usually do not have access to such a large-scale network that can be used as a controlled test-bed; therefore, network simulation becomes an essential tool for testing.

Non Invasive Assessment of Spatiotemporal Organization of Ventricular Fibrillation through Principal Component Analysis (2017)

Introduction Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the main cause of sudden cardiac death. Despite its clinical significance, there is still a lack of quantitative tools to evaluate the degree of myocardial electrical organization during VF. This study puts forward novels markers of VF complexity and stability on body surface potential maps (BSPMs), uantifying the ability of signal features determined through principal component analysis (PCA) to be retrieved along the recording.Methods Biventricular potential mapping was performed through a 252-electrode vest in 27 VF patients (25 male, 49 ± 22 years). BSPMs were divided in 0:5-s segments, each projected on a 3D subspace determined through PCA in the preceding segment. At each time instant, the multilead error E between the input signal and its PCA approximation was expressed in terms of normalized amplitude norm |E| and angle cos(E). Additionally, the nondipolar component index (NDI) was determined as the fraction of energy retained by the first 3 PCA eigenvalues in sliding windows of the same duration. In 24 VF recordings (duration 19.8±6.5 s), average values of the aforementioned indices were computed in 4-second windows at the beginning and at the end of the outputparameter series. Temporal changes in VF complexity were verified through an unpaired Student’s t-test. The same analysis was performed in 5 control recordings in sinus rhythm (SR). Results A significant increase in spatiotemporal complexity was observed during VF, quantified by higher NDI and |E| and lower cos(E) values at the end of the episode (p &lt; 0:0001). By contrast, no significant changes between the beginning and the end of the recording were observed during SR (p &gt; 0:05).Conclusions This study demonstrates the ability of PCA to capture and quantify changes in signal complexity during VF in a noninvasive framework.
Development of Tc-99m Imaging Agents for Abeta Plaques (2008)

Development of SPECT imaging agents based on Tc-99m targeting Aβ plaques is useful for diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A stilbene derivative, [11C]SB-13, showing promise in detecting senile plaques present in AD patients has been reported previously1,2. Based on the 4’-amino-stilbene core structure we have added substituted groups through which a chelating group, N2S2, was conjugated. We report herein a series of Tc-99m labeled stilbene derivative conjugated with a TcO[N2S2] core. The syntheses of stilbenes containing a N2S2 chelating ligand are achieved by a scheme shown. Lipophilic 99mTc stilbene complexes were successfully prepared and purified through HPLC. Preliminary results of in vitro labeling of brain sections from transgenic mice showed very promising plaque labeling. These 99mTc stilbene derivatives are warranted for further evaluations as potential imaging agents targeting amyloid plaques.
Application of overlay modeling and control with Zernike polynomials in an HVM environment (2016)

Shrinking technology nodes and smaller process margins require improved photolithography overlay control. Generally, overlay measurement results are modeled with Cartesian polynomial functions for both intra-field and inter-field models and the model coefficients are sent to an advanced process control (APC) system operating in an XY Cartesian basis. Dampened overlay corrections, typically via exponentially or linearly weighted moving average in time, are then retrieved from the APC system to apply on the scanner in XY Cartesian form for subsequent lot exposure. The goal of the above method is to process lots with corrections that target the least possible overlay misregistration in steady state as well as in change point situations. In this study, we model overlay errors on product using Zernike polynomials with same fitting capability as the process of reference (POR) to represent the wafer-level terms, and use the standard Cartesian polynomials to represent the field-level terms. APC calculations for wafer-level correction are performed in Zernike basis while field-level calculations use standard XY Cartesian basis. Finally, weighted wafer-level correction terms are converted to XY Cartesian space in order to be applied on the scanner, along with field-level corrections, for future wafer exposures. Since Zernike polynomials have the property of being orthogonal in the unit disk we are able to reduce the amount of collinearity between terms and improve overlay stability. Our real time Zernike modeling and feedback evaluation was performed on a 20-lot dataset in a high volume manufacturing (HVM) environment. The measured on-product results were compared to POR and showed a 7% reduction in overlay variation including a 22% terms variation. This led to an on-product raw overlay Mean + 3Sigma X&amp;Y improvement of 5% and resulted in 0.1% yield improvement.
Optimization of Magnetooptic Device by Low Switching Field Domains (2012)

This paper expounds on the optimization of magnetooptic devices using preferential domains that switch at low field strengths. In particular, an all-optical switch for transparent networks based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration is examined in detail. The switch utilizes bismuth-substituted iron garnets with a specific composition of (Bi 1.1 Tb 1.9 )(Fe 4.25 Ga 0.75 )O 12 as Faraday rotators. It is proposed that switch figures of merit can be improved by preferentially choosing domains which align with applied fields at field strengths much lower than required by the bulk material. Measurement of magnetic domain orientation in the material and Faraday rotation within domains is reported. The domain behavior in low magnetic fields is also investigated to achieve a switch with lower switching times and higher extinction ratios.
Myeloid Cell Crosstalk Regulates the Efficacy of the DNA/ALVAC/gp120 HIV Vaccine Candidate (2019)

Vaccination with DNA-SIV + ALVAC-SIV + gp120 alum results in inflammasome activation, high levels of IL-1β production, emergency myelopoiesis, and the egress of CXCR4<sup>+</sup> CD14<sup>+</sup> pre-monocytes from bone marrow. Previously we have shown that this vaccine-induced innate monocyte memory is associated with decreased risk of SIV<sub>mac251</sub> acquisition. Because IL-1β also promotes the propagation of monocyte-derived suppressor (M-MDSC)-like cells, here we extended our analysis to this negative regulator subset, characterizing its levels and functions in macaques. Interestingly, we found that DNA prime engages M-MDSC-like cells and their levels are positively associated with the frequency of CD14<sup>+</sup> classical monocytes, and negatively with the levels of CD16<sup>+</sup> monocytes, correlates of decreased and increased risk of SIV acquisition, respectively. Accordingly, M-MDSC frequency, arginase activity, and NO were all associated with decrease of CD8 T cells responses and worse vaccination outcome. DNA vaccination thus induces innate immunity by engaging three subsets of myeloid cells, M-MDSCs, CD14<sup>+</sup> innate monocyte memory, and CD16<sup>+</sup> monocytes all playing different role in protection. The full characterization of the immunological space created by myeloid cell crosstalk will likely provide clues to improve the efficacy of HIV vaccine candidates.

FTIR Spectroscopy Detects Intermolecular β-Sheet Formation Above the High Temperature Tm for Two Monoclonal Antibodies (2020)

The temperature-dependent secondary structure of two monoclonal IgG antibodies, anti-IGF1R and anti-TSLP, were examined by transmission mode Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Anti-IGF1R and anti-TSLP are IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against human Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor for anti-tumor activity and Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin cytokine for anti-asthma activity, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) clearly indicates both antibodies in their base formulations have a lower temperature protein conformational change near 70 °C (T<sub>m1</sub>) and a higher temperature protein conformational change near 85 °C (T<sub>m2</sub>). Thermal scanning dynamic light scatting (TS-DLS) indicates a significant particle size increase for both antibodies near T<sub>m2</sub> suggesting a high level of protein aggregation. The nature of these protein conformational changes associated with increasing the formulation temperature and decreasing sucrose concentration were identified by transmission mode FTIR and second derivative FTIR spectroscopy of temperature controlled aqueous solutions of both monoclonal antibodies. The transition from intra-molecular β sheets to inter-molecular β sheets was clearly captured for both monoclonal antibodies using FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, FTIR Spectroscopy was able to show the impact of a common excipient such as sucrose on the stability of each monoclonal antibody, further demonstrating the usefulness of FTIR spectroscopy for studying protein aggregation and formulation effects.
