<title>Model-based color halftoning using direct binary search</title> (1999)

In this paper, we develop a model based color halftoning method using the direct binary search (DBS) algorithm. Our method strives to minimize the perceived error between the continuous tone original color image and the color halftone image. We exploit the differences in low human viewers respond to luminance and chrominance information and use the total squared error in a luminance/chrominance based space as our metric. Starting with an initial halftone, we minimize this error metric using the DBS algorithm. Our method also incorporates a measurement based color printer dot interaction model to prevent the artifacts due to dot overlap and to improve color texture quality. We calibrate our halftoning algorithm to ensure accurate colorant distributions in resulting halftones. We present the color halftones which demonstrate the efficacy of our method.

The Value of an Industrial Internship on a Graduate Student Education (2015)

A chemical engineering PhD student from Purdue University completed an internship at The Dow Chemical Company, evaluating the effect of scale on the hydrodynamics of a trickle bed reactor. A unique aspect of this work was that it arose from an ongoing collaboration, so that the project was within the scope of the graduate student’s thesis. This enabled successful completion of the work. Additionally, the contacts made were of benefit to all parties.

Fabrication of Fork-Shaped Retinal Stimulator Integrated with CMOS Microchips for Extension of Viewing Angle (2014)

A fork-shaped retinal stimulator for a wide viewing angle was fabricated and demonstrated. This stimulator has two flexible fork elements, each with a stimulus head. The two fork elements can be implanted at different places in the eyeball to cover a wider area of the retina. The stimulus head has stimulus electrodes with the same shape as the electrodes utilized in a clinical trial for six weeks. Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) microchips were integrated into the stimulator and mounted next to the stimulus electrodes. Since stimulus current generators are integrated into the microchips, no external wires for stimulus current are required. A multiplexer, which reduces the number of wirings, was also integrated into the microchips. The fabricated stimulator was evaluated through in vivo animal experiments. The stimulator was successfully implanted in two places of the eyeball. Retinal stimulation by the device evoked nerve responses from optic chiasma and produced a specific peak of evoked potential. Experimental results demonstrate the proof of concept of a fork-shaped stimulator and suggest that the same device configuration can realize multiple forkshaped stimulators for a wider viewing angle. Moreover, increasing the number of fork elements of the multifork stimulator without additional wirings becomes possible.
Homogenous asymmetric hydrogenation: Recent trends and industrial applications. (2010)

Recent advances in the field of homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation are presented in this review. An analysis of academic literature published in the past 2 years highlights significant advances in the asymmetric hydrogenation of functional groups that previously were considered difficult to hydrogenate, as well as the emergence of novel concepts in catalysis, such as the use of non-traditional metals, phosphine-free catalysts and chiral counterions. An analysis of industry publications from 2009 and 2010 highlights more established applications of asymmetric hydrogenation reactions; these are discussed with a particular focus on practical aspects, such as catalyst selection, experimental conditions and the removal of metal residues.
Physical Microfabrication of Shape‐Memory Polymer Systems via Bicomponent Fiber Spinning (2016)

As emerging technologies continue to require diverse materials capable of exhibiting tunable stimuli-responsiveness, shape-memory materials are of considerable significance because they can change size and/or shape in controllable fashion upon environmental stimulation. Of particular interest, shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have secured a central role in the ongoing development of relatively lightweight and remotely deployable devices that can be further designed with specific surface properties. In the case of thermally-activated SMPs, two functional chemical species must be present to provide (i) an elastic network capable of restoring the SMP to a previous strain state and (ii) switching elements that either lock-in or release a temporary strain at a well-defined thermal transition. While these species are chemically combined into a single macromolecule in most commercially available SMPs, this work establishes that, even though they are physically separated across one or more polymer/polymer interfaces, their shape-memory properties are retained in melt-spun bicomponent fibers. In the present study, we investigate the effects of fiber composition and cross-sectional geometry on both conventional and cold-draw shape memory, and report surprisingly high levels of strain fixity and recovery that generally improve upon strain cycling.

Flow cytometry shows added value in diagnosing lymphoma in brain biopsies (2018)

Flow cytometry has a high specificity and can confirm the diagnosis of a lymphoma significantly faster than immunohistochemistry. This allows for rapid initiation of treatment in this highly aggressive tumor. However, since its sensitivity is less than 100%, we recommend to perform histology plus immunohistochemistry in parallel to flow cytometry. © 2018 The Authors.

Identification of human telomeric repeat motifs at the genome termini of human herpesvirus 7: structural analysis and heterogeneity (1995)

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 are closely related T-lymphotropic betaherpesviruses which share a common genomic organization and are composed of a single unique component (U) that is bounded by direct repeats (DRL and DRR). In HHV-6, a sequences have been identified at each end of the DR motifs, resulting in the arrangement aDRLa-U-aDRRa. In order to determine whether determine whether HHV-7 contains similar a sequences, we have sequenced the DRL-U and U-DRR junctions of HHV-7 strain JI, together with the DRR.DRL junction from the head-to-tail concatamer that is generated during productive virus infection. In addition, we have sequenced the genomic termini of an independent isolate of HHV-7. As in HHV-6, a (GGGTTA)n motif identical to the human telomeric repeat sequence (TRS) was identified adjacent to, but not at, the genome termini of HHV-7. The left genome terminus and the U-DRR junction contained a homolog of the consensus herpesvirus packaging signal, pac-1, followed by short tandem arrays of TRSs separated by single copies of a second 6-bp repeat. This organization is similar to the arrangement found at U-DRR in HHV-6 but differs from it in that the TRS arrays are considerably shorter in HHV-7. The right genome terminus and the DRL-U junction contained a homolog of the consensus herpesvirus packaging signal, pac-2, followed by longer tandem arrays of TRSs separated by single copies of either a 6-bp or a 14-bp repeat. This arrangement is considerably more complex than the simple tandem array of TRSs that is present at the corresponding genomic location in HHV-6 and corresponds to a site of both inter- and intrastrain heterogeneity in HHV-7. The presence of TRSs in lymphotropic herpesviruses from humans (HHV-6 and HHV-7), horse (equine herpesvirus 2), and birds (Marek's disease virus) is striking and suggests that these sequences may have functional or structural significance.
P4Update (2021)

Programmable networks come with the promise of logically centralized control, in order to optimize the network's routing behavior. However, until now, controllers are heavily involved in network operations to prevent inconsistencies such as blackholes, loops, and congestion. In this paper, we propose the P4Update framework, based on the network programming language P4, to shift the consistency control and most of the routing update logic out of the overloaded and slow control plane. As such P4Update avoids high and unnecessary control plane delays by mainly scheduling and offloading the update process to the data plane.

Spatial Distortions in Active Tactile Exploration (2023)

Encoding the location of tactile features during active exploration poses at least two problems for a perceptual system. First, as the hand is moved through space, processing delays may displace the perceived locations of features. Second, due to the sequential nature of the process, some form of memory, which itself may be subject to spatial distortions, is required for integration of spatial samples. This chapter investigates these issues using a task involving active haptic exploration with a stylus swept back and forth in the horizontal plane by flexing and extending the wrist. For a given sector, results for various offsets between the first and second force pulse were used to derive a psychometric function, and probit analysis was used to determine the point of subjective equality, that is, the amount by which the second pulse had to be offset with respect to the first to appear coincident with it.

GRILL: Grounded Vision-language Pre-training via Aligning Text and Image Regions (2023)

Generalization to unseen tasks is an important ability for few-shot learners to achieve better zero-/few-shot performance on diverse tasks. However, such generalization to vision-language tasks including grounding and generation tasks has been under-explored; existing few-shot VL models struggle to handle tasks that involve object grounding and multiple images such as visual commonsense reasoning or NLVR2. In this paper, we introduce GRILL, GRounded vIsion Language aLigning, a novel VL model that can be generalized to diverse tasks including visual question answering, captioning, and grounding tasks with no or very few training instances. Specifically, GRILL learns object grounding and localization by exploiting object-text alignments, which enables it to transfer to grounding tasks in a zero-/few-shot fashion. We evaluate our model on various zero-/few-shot VL tasks and show that it consistently surpasses the state-of-the-art few-shot methods.
Synthesis, properties and applications of ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals (1983)

Abstract Although smectic liquid crystals containing an optically active center were first prepared over fifty years ago, it was only recently realized that a number of these materials were ferroelectrics. Smectic phases which exhibit ferroelectric properties have structures in which their optically active molecules have their long axes tilted with respect to the layer planes of the phase. Smectics C*, I*, F*, J*, and G* have these properties.
Electric field-driven microfluidics for rapid CRISPR-based diagnostics and its application to detection of SARS-CoV-2 (2020)

The rapid spread of COVID-19 across the world has revealed major gaps in our ability to respond to new virulent pathogens. Rapid, accurate, and easily configurable molecular diagnostic tests are imperative to prevent global spread of new diseases. CRISPR-based diagnostic approaches are proving to be useful as field-deployable solutions. In one basic form of this assay, the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme complexes with a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA). This complex becomes activated only when it specifically binds to target DNA and cleaves it. The activated complex thereafter nonspecifically cleaves single-stranded DNA reporter probes labeled with a fluorophore-quencher pair. We discovered that electric field gradients can be used to control and accelerate this CRISPR assay by cofocusing Cas12-gRNA, reporters, and target within a microfluidic chip. We achieve an appropriate electric field gradient using a selective ionic focusing technique known as isotachophoresis (ITP) implemented on a microfluidic chip. Unlike previous CRISPR diagnostic assays, we also use ITP for automated purification of target RNA from raw nasopharyngeal swab samples. We here combine this ITP purification with loop-mediated isothermal amplification and the ITP-enhanced CRISPR assay to achieve detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA (from raw sample to result) in about 35 min for both contrived and clinical nasopharyngeal swab samples. This electric field control enables an alternate modality for a suite of microfluidic CRISPR-based diagnostic assays.
Fusion of planning CT and cystoscopy images for bladder tumor delineation: A feasibility study (2013)

Registration of cystoscopy images and planning CT-scan is feasible and allows for improvement of tumor delineation. However, the lipiodol injection protocol needs to be improved to facilitate identification of markers on both cystoscopy images and planning CT-scans.
Towards Extending Service Discovery with Automated Composition Capabilities (2008)

In most of research, service composition and discovery are treated separately. In the composition, it is assumed that primitive services are known to the composition component in advance. At the same time, in matchmaking algorithms, usually only one service is considered as a suitable candidate satisfying a query while service combinations are not allowed. The problem is that in realistic composition or mediation scenarios in dynamic environments some specific gap can be bridged only by using a combination of several services which are not known and need to be discovered. We consider such a situation and we propose an approach using a combined match and a composed match. We give a characterization of these two matching types and we develop appropriate matching algorithms.
A 0.5-V FD-SOI twin-cell DRAM with offset-free dynamic-VT sense amplifiers (2006)

Three DRAM technologies, which are a leakage- and soft-error-free planar-capacitor SOI cell, a data-line shielded twin (2-T) cell array, and an offset-free dynamic-VT sense amplifier suitable for low-voltage mid-point sensing, are presented and evaluated. New noise-generation mechanisms are also shown. Using the experimental data of an ultrathin BOX double-gate fully-depleted SOI MOST, a 1.5-ns cycle-time 65-nm 2-kb subarray was found to be feasible for embedded applications, even at 0.5 V.

Miniature, pulsed Ti:sapphire laser system (2002)

A robust, miniature Ti:sapphire laser system produces 18.4-/spl mu/J, 780-nm pulses of 700-ps duration and 0.17-nm linewidth at 8 kHz. The system is pumped by two fiber-coupled 808-nm laser diode arrays and occupies a volume of <0.5 liters. The OCIS codes are (140.3580) for solid-state lasers and (140.3480) for diode-pumped lasers.
Birefringence characteristics of nanoscale dielectrics with cubic and tetragonal lattices (2010)

The birefringence in nanometer-scale dielectrics with the largest dimensions ranging from about 3 nm to 20 nm has been quantified by evaluating directly the summation of induced-dipole-electric-field contributions from all individual atoms within the entire dielectric volume. Various configurations in representative cubic and tetragonal systems are investigated by varying the ratio of lattice constants and the number of atoms in various directions to illustrate the chain-like and plane-like behavior regimes. The dielectric properties of the finite cubic crystal lattices change from isotropic to birefringent (uniaxial or biaxial) when the entire dielectric volume is changed from a cube to a rectangular parallelepiped in shape. In finite tetragonal crystals the birefringence increases with the increasing lattice constant ratios. The largest uniaxial birefringence occurs for non-cube dielectric volume with tetragonal lattices.
Doping effects in amorphous oxides (2012)

Impurity doping of crystalline Si is one of the most striking techniques in semiconductor technology. A rigid and perfect crystalline lattice is prerequisite for effective doping. However, it has been reported to date that introducing a small amount of impurities drastically improves also the properties of amorphous materials. This paper reviews three pronounced doping effects on optical and electrical properties of amorphous oxides; i.e., (i) F-doping of silica glass to improve the vacuum-ultraviolet optical transmission and radiation toughness, (ii) codoping effects on solubility enhancement of rare earth ions in silica glass melt, and (iii) electron-carrier generation in transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors. It is emphasized that effectiveness of electron doping is determined by the magnitude of electron affinity and stabilization energy of a dopant. Importance of the local structure formed around a dopant ion and the location of conduction band minimum measured from the vacuum level is addressed to understand the doping effects in amorphous oxides.
Resilience of bacterial quorum sensing against fluid flow (2016)

Quorum sensing (QS) is a population-density dependent chemical process that enables bacteria to communicate based on the production, secretion and sensing of small inducer molecules. While recombinant constructs have been widely used to decipher the molecular details of QS, how those findings translate to natural QS systems has remained an open question. Here, we compare the activation of natural and synthetic Pseudomonas aeruginosa LasI/R QS systems in bacteria exposed to quiescent conditions and controlled flows. Quantification of QS-dependent GFP expression in suspended cultures and in surface-attached microcolonies revealed that QS onset in both systems was similar under quiescent conditions but markedly differed under flow. Moderate flow (Pe > 25) was sufficient to suppress LasI/R QS recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli, whereas only high flow (Pe > 102) suppressed QS in wild-type P. aeruginosa. We suggest that this difference stems from the differential production of extracellular matrix and that the matrix confers resilience against moderate flow to QS in wild-type organisms. These results suggest that the expression of a biofilm matrix extends the environmental conditions under which QS-based cell-cell communication is effective and that findings from synthetic QS circuits cannot be directly translated to natural systems.
