ABSTRACT | Central nervous (“CNS”) health in subjects who have human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) or non-human-species analogs thereof is 102 evaluated or otherwise monitored by analyzing frequency following response (“FFR”). In general, one or more components of an FFR are analyzed, The FFR is measured in response to the administration of an acoustic stimulus to the subject. The acoustic stimulus includes a complex sound, which may include a consonant and a consonant-to-vowel transition. An indication of CNS health can be generated by measuring changes in the FFR components (e.g., over time or relative to normative data). |

ABSTRACT | Currently available glutaminase inhibitors are generally poorly soluble, metabolically unstable, and/or require high doses, which together reduce their efficacy and therapeutic index. These can be formulated into nanoparticles and delivered safely and effectively for treatment of pancreatic cancer and other glutamine addicted cancers. Studies demonstrate that nanoparticle delivery of BPTES, relative to use of BPTES alone, can be safely administered and provides dramatically improved tumor drug exposure, resulting in greater efficacy. GLS inhibitors can be administered in higher concentrations with sub-100 nm nanoparticles, since the nanoparticles package the drug into “soluble” colloidal nanoparticles, and the nanoparticles deliver higher drug exposure selectively to the tumors due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. These factors result in sustained drug levels above the IC50 within the tumors for days, providing significantly enhanced efficacy compared to unencapsulated drug. |

ABSTRACT | Hippocampal lesions, including synaptic failure, are a defining pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie hippocampal synaptic injury in this neurodegenerative disorder have yet not been fully elucidated. In Current therapeutic efforts for the treatment of AD are not effective in correcting hippocampal synaptic deficits. It is disclosed that the interaction with amyloid beta (Aβ) induces dysfunction of growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1α; ghrelin receptor), leading to suppressed GHSR1α regulation of hippocampal dopamine receptor D1 (DRD1) in AD hippocampi. The modulation of DRD1 by GHSR1α impacts hippocampal synaptic plasticity. The simultaneous application of a selective GHSR1α agonist and a selective DRD1 agonist mitigates Aβ-induced hippocampal synaptic injury and improves spatial memory in AD mouse models. These data reveal a novel mechanism of hippocampal vulnerability in AD and that the combined activation of GHSR1α and DRD1 provides a new avenue for the pharmaceutical treatment of AD. |

ABSTRACT | The present disclosure reports that (1) recombinant Fh15 significantly prevented bacteremia, suppressed LPS levels in plasma and the production of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, which are key signatures of inflammation and bacterial infection, respectively; (2) reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines; and (3) increased innate immune cell populations in blood, which suggests a role in promoting a prolonged steady state in rhesus macaques even in the presence of inflammatory stimuli. This is the first report demonstrating that a F. hepatica-derived molecule possesses potential as anti-inflammatory drug against sepsis in an NHP-model. Prophylactic effects of rFh15 administered in a non-human preclinical primate model of sepsis support its use as a biotherapeutic. |

ABSTRACT | A system for selective microcapsule extraction includes a non-planar core-shell microfluidic device. The non-planar core-shell microfluidic device generates microcapsules defining a core-shell configuration. A subset of the microcapsules contain aggregates, tissues, or at least one cell. A camera captures images of the microcapsules. A detection module includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that when executed by the processor causes the detection module to provide the images of the microcapsules as an input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model identifies microcapsules containing aggregates, tissues, or at least one cell. A force generator generates a force to extract the microcapsules. A microcontroller selectively activates the force generator to generate the force when the detection module identifies a microcapsule containing aggregates, tissues, or at least one cell to extract the microcapsule. |

ABSTRACT | Methods, computing devices, and magnetic resonance imaging systems that improve image quality in turbo spiral echo (TSE) imaging are disclosed. With this technology, a TSE pulse sequence is generated that includes a series of radio frequency (RF) refocusing pulses to produce a corresponding series of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin echo signals. A gradient waveform including a plurality of segments is generated. The plurality of segments collectively comprise a spiral ring retraced in-out trajectory. During an interval adjacent to each of the series of RF refocusing pulses, a first gradient pulse is generated according to the gradient waveform. The first gradient pulses encode the NMR spin echo signals. An image is then constructed from digitized samples of the NMR spin echo signals obtained based at least in part on the encoding. |

ABSTRACT | Training a neural network to correct motion-induced artifacts in magnetic resonance images includes acquiring motion-free magnetic resonance image (MRI) data of a target object and applying a spatial transformation matrix to the motion-free MRI data. Multiple frames of MRI data are produced having respective motion states. A Non-uniform Fast Fourier Transform (NUFFT) can be applied to generate respective k-space data sets corresponding to each of the multiple frames of MRI; the respective k-space data sets can be combined to produce a motion-corrupted k-space data set and an adjoint NUFFT can be applied to the motion-corrupted k-space data set. Updated frames of motion-corrupted MRI data can be formed. Using the updated frames of motion corrupted MRI data, a neural network can be trained that generates output frames of motion free MRI data; and the neural network can be saved. |

ABSTRACT | A system for few-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is described. The system includes a preprocessing module, a first generator network, and a discriminator network. The preprocessing module is configured to apply a ramp filter to an input sinogram to yield a filtered sinogram. The first generator network is configured to receive the filtered sinogram, to learn a filtered back-projection operation and to provide a first reconstructed image as output. The first reconstructed image corresponds to the input sinogram. The discriminator network is configured to determine whether a received image corresponds to the first reconstructed image or a corresponding ground truth image. The generator network and the discriminator network correspond to a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN). The WGAN is optimized using an objective function based, at least in part, on a Wasserstein distance and based, at least in part, on a gradient penalty. |

ABSTRACT | Secure pairing is key to trustworthy deployment and application of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, IoT devices lack conventional user interfaces, such as keyboards and displays, which make many traditional pairing approaches inapplicable. Proximity-based pairing approaches are very usable, but can be exploited by co-located malicious devices. Approaches based on a user's physical operations on IoT devices are more secure, but typically require inertial sensors, while many devices do not satisfy this requirement. A secure and usable pairing approach that can be applied to heterogeneous IoT devices still does not exist. We develop a technique, Universal Operation Sensing, which allows an IoT device to sense the user's physical operations on it without requiring inertial sensors. With this technique, a user holding a smartphone or wearing a wristband can finish pairing in seconds through some very simple operations, e.g., pressing a button or twisting a knob. Moreover, we reveal an inaccuracy issue in original fuzzy commitment and propose faithful fuzzy commitment to resolve it. We design a pairing protocol using faithful fuzzy commitment, and build a prototype system named Touch-to-Pair (T2Pair, for short). The comprehensive evaluation shows that it is secure and usable. |

ABSTRACT | Spatially resolved Fourier Transform Impedance Spectroscopy (FTIS) is disclosed to spatially map and quickly build the frequency response of optoelectronic devices using optical probes. The transfer function of a linear system is the Fourier transform of its impulse response, which may be obtained from transient photocurrent measurements of devices such as photodetectors and solar cells. We apply FTIS to a PbS colloidal quantum dot (QD)/SiC heterojunction photodiode and corroborate results using intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy. The cutoff frequencies of the QD/SiC devices were as high as ˜10 kHz, demonstrating their utility in advanced flexible and thin film electronics. The practical frequencies for FTIS lie in the mHz-kHz range, ideal for composite or novel materials such as QD films that are dominated by interfacial trap states. |

ABSTRACT | A system for taking high-resolution photographs from a vehicle-mounted camera, forming orthomosaics from video and/or multiple high-resolution photographs, and using artificial intelligence to detect and classify pavement flaws and defects in the imagery. Detection also includes the ability to capture quantifiable metrics for the defects and/or a region of interest. Three-dimensional imagery is produced from the same images as the orthomosaics. Surface and terrain map products made from the same source images capture additional details such as depth and volume. The highlighted orthomosaics and three-dimensional imagery can then be used as a basis to determine the pavement surface condition and subsequently support maintenance orders and manage pavement repairs. Further, metadata such as latitude, longitude, and altitude geo-location coordinates and sampling time can also be transferred to the output products to create a digital time history and enable analysis for preventative maintenance planning. Alternatively-sourced imagery may also be analyzed. |

ABSTRACT | Bistable devices are constructed using a polynucleotide platform for sensing molecular events such as binding or conformational changes of target molecules. Uses include measurement of target concentration, measuring the effect of environmental condition (such as heat, light, or pH) on the target, or screening a library for molecules that bind the target or modulate its biological function. Devices comprise three regions: a top lid, bottom lid, and flexible linker or hinge between them. A device has an open configuration in which the top and bottom lid are separated, and a closed configuration they are bound close together. Binding domains or variations of the target molecule are fixed to a device so that when the molecular event occurs, the device switches from open to closed, or vice versa, which generates a signal. Optimal device design is determined by the signal modality (optical or electronic) used to measure closure of surface-immobilized devices. |

ABSTRACT | In an integrated optical device, squeezed light is used internally to effectively increase an optical modulation effect. One exemplary device operates by squeezing the light at the input, then sending it through an electro-optic stage where its phase picks up the signal of interest, and finally anti-squeezing it to obtain a displaced coherent state. Thus the displacement is amplified by the level of squeezing that is achieved inside the device and it is thereby less sensitive to loss. Since this device behaves simply as an electro-optic modulator, albeit one with an exponentially enhanced sensitivity, no extra considerations are needed to integrate the modulator into a system. Such devices can be operated as modulators or as sensors, and can make use of optical phase shift effects other than the electro-optic effect. |

ABSTRACT | A photonic device that includes two electrodes and a two-dimensional (2D) material electrically connecting the two electrodes. The 2D material may be molybdenum ditelluride. Strain may be induced in the 2D material (e.g., by placing the 2D material on a waveguide) to reduce the band gap of the 2D material and increase the efficiency of the photodetector. The photonic device may be a photodetector with 2D material that absorbs light energy and converts it into a photocurrent in a circuit that includes the two electrodes. The photonic device may be an emitter with 2D material that emits light energy in response to an electric field across the two electrodes. The photonic device may be a modulator with 2D material that modulates a property of an optical signal (e.g., the amplitude or phase) by modulating the amount of strain induced in the 2D material. |

ABSTRACT | Stochastic hyperdimensional arithmetic computing is provided. Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is a neurally-inspired computation model working based on the observation that the human brain operates on high-dimensional representations of data, called hypervectors. Although HDC is powerful in reasoning and association of the abstract information, it is weak on feature extraction from complex data. Consequently, most existing HDC solutions rely on expensive pre-processing algorithms for feature extraction. This disclosure proposes StocHD, a novel end-to-end hyperdimensional system that supports accurate, efficient, and robust learning over raw data. StocHD expands HDC functionality to the computing area by mathematically defining stochastic arithmetic over HDC hypervectors. StocHD enables an entire learning application (including feature extractor) to process using HDC data representation, enabling uniform, efficient, robust, and highly parallel computation. This disclosure further provides a novel fully digital and scalable processing in-memory (PIM) architecture that exploits the HDC memory-centric nature to support extensively parallel computation. |

ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for generating Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) based on the principles of biological sleep are disclosed. Namely, the systems and methods can be configured to apply a sleep-like phase to ANNs which enables training to be generalized, performance to be improved, and catastrophic forgetting for sequential multi-task training to be prevented. Various implementations of these systems and methods can be configured to: (i) train an ANN using backpropagation algorithm, (ii) convert the architecture of the ANN to an equivalent Spiking Neural Network (SNN) and simulate a sleep phase in the SNN while using plasticity rules to modify synaptic weights, and (iii) convert the modified synaptic weights associated with the simulated sleep phase of the SNN back into the ANN. This transformation from ANN to SNN to ANN effectively emulates learning mechanisms actuated during biological sleep and, as such, overcomes limitations commonly associated with machine learning. |

ABSTRACT | A method for using a single-pixel camera to reconstruct images of objects obscured by fog or other dynamic scattering media. A pseudo-random phase or intensity pattern is imposed on illumination beams directed at a target. The beam with the imposed pattern forms a pseudo random pattern on the target. Information regarding the pattern imposed on each pulse is entered into a data processor/controller. The illumination beams with the pseudo random patterns are reflected off the target, collected by receiving optics and a bucket detector and converted into electronic signals fed into the data processor/controller. The data processor/controller applies a high-pass filter to remove slower signal variations produced by dynamic changes in the scattering medium over time. The filtered bucket values are then used together with their corresponding speckle patterns to generate the images using any appropriate reconstruction algorithm such as CGI or CSI. |

ABSTRACT | A method, system and computer program product for segmenting generic foreground objects in images and videos. For segmenting generic foreground objects in videos, an appearance stream of an image in a video frame is processed using a first deep neural network. Furthermore, a motion stream of an optical flow image in the video frame is processed using a second deep neural network. The appearance and motion streams are then joined to combine complementary appearance and motion information to perform segmentation of generic objects in the video frame. Generic foreground objects are segmented in images by training a convolutional deep neural network to estimate a likelihood that a pixel in an image belongs to a foreground object. After receiving the image, the likelihood that the pixel in the image is part of the foreground object as opposed to background is then determined using the trained convolutional deep neural network. |

ABSTRACT | An end-to-end trainable grouped mathematically differentiable non-maximal suppression (NMS) technique is presented for monocular 3D object detection. First, formulate NMS as a matrix operation and then group and mask the boxes in an unsupervised manner to obtain a simple closed-form expression of the NMS. This technique addresses the mismatch between training and inference pipelines and, therefore, forces the network to select the best 3D box in a differentiable manner. As a result, the proposed technique achieves state-of-the-art monocular 3D object detection results on the KITTI benchmark dataset performing comparably to monocular video-based methods. |

ABSTRACT | Described are concepts, systems, devices and methods that enhance decoding performance of channels subject to correlated noise. The concepts, systems, devices and methods can be used with any combination of codes, code-rates and decoding techniques. In embodiments, a continuous realization of effective noise is estimated from a lead channel by subtracting its decoded output from its received signal. This estimate is then used to improve the accuracy of decoding of an otherwise orthogonal channel that is experiencing correlated effective noise. In this approach, channels aid each other through the post-decoding provision of estimates of effective noise. In some embodiments, the lead channel is not pre-determined, but is chosen dynamically based on which of a plurality of decoders completes first, or using soft information including an estimate of effective noise that is least energetic or most likely to have occurred. |

The radial expansion of the expansion unit causes the expansion unit to physically contact a blood clot, enabling the blood clot to be removed. In some embodiments, the expansion unit can be fabricated from a shape memory polymer foam. In some embodiments the support unit can be fabricated from any elastic material including, without limitation, shape memory alloys. |

ABSTRACT | A system and method for intrusion detection on automotive controller area networks. The system and method can detect various CAN attacks, such as attacks that cause unintended acceleration, deactivation of vehicle's brakes, or steering the vehicle. The system and method detects changes in nuanced correlations of CAN timeseries signals and how they cluster together. The system reverse engineers CAN signals and detect masquerade attacks by analyzing timeseries extracted from raw CAN frames. Specifically, anomalies in the CAN data can be detected by computing timeseries clustering similarity using hierarchical clustering on the vehicle's CAN signals and comparing the clustering similarity across CAN captures with and without attacks. |

ABSTRACT | A diffractive optical element, such as a plasma grating, can be made by directing two laser beams so that they overlap in a nonlinear material to form an interference pattern in the nonlinear material. The interference pattern can modify the index of refraction in the nonlinear material to produce the diffractive optical element. A chirped pulse amplification system can stretch, amplify, and then compress a laser pulse, and the plasma grating can be used to compress the laser pulse since the plasma optic can withstand the high light intensity of the compressed pulse. |

ABSTRACT | Improved wood strand panels suitable for construction are produced by first thermally modifying a plurality of wood strands that are thin in terms of thickness. Then, wood veneers are constructed from the thermally modified wood strands, at least some of which partially overlap one another. The wood veneers are on the order of 0.125 to 0.25 inches thick. Finally, the wood veneers, constructed from the thermally modified wood strands, are stacked on top of one another and connected using adhesive, pressure and temperature similar to plywood or LVL manufacture. The thermal modification and use of thin strands, followed by veneer formation, prior to manufacture of the composite results in a composite with uniform density, high-strength, resistance to decay, resistance to water sorption, and other benefits. |

ABSTRACT | An additive manufacturing technique uses digital mask-based illumination and a polar-based build environment for increased throughput. In one embodiment, the build environment comprises a rotating element having a surface. A coater is configured to deposit photopolymer material on the rotating element at a given flow rate. As the element rotates and the coater deposits the photopolymer material, a radiation source of an image scanning system projects an array of point sources (an image) onto the photopolymer material for an exposure time to cure a given layer. As the photopolymer material is deposited layer-upon-layer, and for each layer, a control system adjusts a relative position of the coater with respect to the surface, adjusts a speed of rotation of the rotating element, and maintains the flow rate and the exposure time constant. |

ABSTRACT | Spatially resolved Fourier Transform Impedance Spectroscopy (FTIS) is disclosed to spatially map and quickly build the frequency response of optoelectronic devices using optical probes. The transfer function of a linear system is the Fourier transform of its impulse response, which may be obtained from transient photocurrent measurements of devices such as photodetectors and solar cells. We apply FTIS to a PbS colloidal quantum dot (QD)/SiC heterojunction photodiode and corroborate results using intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy. The cutoff frequencies of the QD/SiC devices were as high as ˜10 kHz, demonstrating their utility in advanced flexible and thin film electronics. The practical frequencies for FTIS lie in the mHz-kHz range, ideal for composite or novel materials such as QD films that are dominated by interfacial trap states. |

ABSTRACT | Bistable devices are constructed using a polynucleotide platform for sensing molecular events such as binding or conformational changes of target molecules. Uses include measurement of target concentration, measuring the effect of environmental condition (such as heat, light, or pH) on the target, or screening a library for molecules that bind the target or modulate its biological function. Devices comprise three regions: a top lid, bottom lid, and flexible linker or hinge between them. A device has an open configuration in which the top and bottom lid are separated, and a closed configuration they are bound close together. Binding domains or variations of the target molecule are fixed to a device so that when the molecular event occurs, the device switches from open to closed, or vice versa, which generates a signal. Optimal device design is determined by the signal modality (optical or electronic) used to measure closure of surface-immobilized devices. |

ABSTRACT | A capacitor is provided for high temperature systems. The capacitor includes: a substrate formed from silicon carbide material; a dielectric stack layer, including a first layer deposited on the substrate and a second layer deposited on the first layer; a Schottky contact layer deposited on the second layer; and an Ohmic contact layer deposited on the substrate. The first layer is formed with aluminum nitride (AlN) epitaxially, and the second layer is formed with aluminum oxide (Al2O3). AlN and Al2O3 are ultrawide band gap materials, and as a result, they can be use as the dielectric in the capacitor, allowing the capacitance changes to be less than 10% between −250° C. and 600° C., which is very effective for the high temperature systems. |

ABSTRACT | Secure pairing is key to trustworthy deployment and application of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, IoT devices lack conventional user interfaces, such as keyboards and displays, which make many traditional pairing approaches inapplicable. Proximity-based pairing approaches are very usable, but can be exploited by co-located malicious devices. Approaches based on a user's physical operations on IoT devices are more secure, but typically require inertial sensors, while many devices do not satisfy this requirement. A secure and usable pairing approach that can be applied to heterogeneous IoT devices still does not exist. We develop a technique, Universal Operation Sensing, which allows an IoT device to sense the user's physical operations on it without requiring inertial sensors. With this technique, a user holding a smartphone or wearing a wristband can finish pairing in seconds through some very simple operations, e.g., pressing a button or twisting a knob. Moreover, we reveal an inaccuracy issue in original fuzzy commitment and propose faithful fuzzy commitment to resolve it. We design a pairing protocol using faithful fuzzy commitment, and build a prototype system named Touch-to-Pair (T2Pair, for short). The comprehensive evaluation shows that it is secure and usable. |

ABSTRACT | Gas Replacement System (GRS) produces lighter than air lift gas from ammonia to enable balloon launch and/or to extend the flight durations of balloons. The GRS produces lighter than air lift gas by dissociating all or part of an ammonia supply into a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen. The GRS can be used to launch balloons from the ground and/or produce gas for airborne balloons to extend their flight duration. In one embodiment, a GRS includes a tank containing ammonia (e.g., liquid ammonia), a reactor, and a controller operable to direct a release of the ammonia from the tank to the reactor. The controller is also operable to direct the reactor to dissociate at least a portion of the ammonia into a lift gas and exhaust the lift gas from the reactor into the balloon for inflation, the lift gas comprising nitrogen and hydrogen. |

ABSTRACT | Passive reactivity control technologies that enable reactivity control of a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system with little to no active mechanical movement of circumferential control drums. By minimizing or eliminating the need for mechanical movement of the circumferential control drums during an NTP burn, the reactivity control technologies simplify controlling an NTP reactor and increase the overall performance of the NTP system. The reactivity control technologies mitigate and counteract the effects of xenon, the dominant fission product contributing to reactivity transients. Examples of reactivity control technologies include, employing burnable neutron poisons, tuning hydrogen pressure, adjusting wait time between burn cycles or merging burn cycles, and enhancement of temperature feedback mechanisms. The reactivity control technologies are applicable to low-enriched uranium NTP systems, including graphite composite fueled and tungsten ceramic and metal matrix (CERMET), or any moderated NTP system, such as highly-enriched uranium graphite composite NTP systems. |

ABSTRACT | A system, apparatus and method are provided for robotically assisting the harvest of a crop. Instrumented picker carts include sensors for detecting amounts of harvested crop (e.g., fill ratios) of containers carried by the carts, communication modules for communicating their locations and detected crop amounts to a field computer, and components for signaling for robotic service. The field computer predicts when a cart that requests service will have a full container and where it will be located at that time, then decides whether to approve the request. If the request is approved, a robot is assigned and is given (or generates) a path to the cart's predicted location, and begins moving toward the location so as to arrive near (and preferably before) the predicted time. Robots include means for moving (e.g., wheels, motors, steering components, power sources), navigation modules, computing components for controlling their movement, and communication modules. |

ABSTRACT | Passive reactivity control technologies that enable reactivity control of a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) system with little to no active mechanical movement of circumferential control drums. By minimizing or eliminating the need for mechanical movement of the circumferential control drums during an NTP burn, the reactivity control technologies simplify controlling an NTP reactor and increase the overall performance of the NTP system. The reactivity control technologies mitigate and counteract the effects of xenon, the dominant fission product contributing to reactivity transients. Examples of reactivity control technologies include, employing burnable neutron poisons, tuning hydrogen pressure, adjusting wait time between burn cycles or merging burn cycles, and enhancement of temperature feedback mechanisms. The reactivity control technologies are applicable to low-enriched uranium NTP systems, including graphite composite fueled and tungsten ceramic and metal matrix (CERMET), or any moderated NTP system, such as highly-enriched uranium graphite composite NTP systems. |
