Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for ghost cytometry (GC), which may be used to produce an image of an object without using a spatially resolving detector. This may be used to perform image-free ultrafast fluorescence “imaging” cytometry, based on, for example, a single pixel detector. Spatial information obtained from the motion of cells relative to a patterned optical structure may be compressively converted into signals that arrive sequentially at a single pixel detector. Combinatorial use of the temporal waveform with the intensity distribution of the random or pseudo-random pattern may permit computational reconstruction of cell morphology. Machine learning methods may be applied directly to the compressed waveforms without image reconstruction to enable efficient image-free morphology-based cytometry.

Abstract: A plastic injection-molded gear that can prevent the occurrence of noise during meshing attributed to molten-liquid-induced creases, suppress deformations on a rim and a web, and suppress displacement of a meshing position is provided. A rim, on which teeth are formed, is supported by a first overhanging section, a second overhanging section, and radial direction ribs. The first overhanging section projects in a cantilevered manner from an outer peripheral edge of a web. The second overhanging section extends in an outward radial direction from a tip side of the first overhanging section. The radial direction ribs are formed straddling the first overhanging section and the second overhanging section. A connecting section between the rim and the second overhanging section is displaced from a meshing position of the teeth in a teeth width direction.

Abstract: In a spiral bevel gear, a contact area between tooth flanks that mesh with each other is increased, thereby reducing teeth knocking noise and strengthening tooth sections. A shape of a tooth form on a normal plane T of a tooth section 15 of a spiral bevel gear becomes gradually larger as the normal plane moves from a small-diameter end section side towards a large-diameter end section side along a tooth trace H, as indicated by (a), (b), and (c). In correspondence, a tooth crest arc section S is provided in a connecting section 21 between a tooth flank 17 on a meshing side and a tooth crest 16. The tooth crest arc section S is formed such that a curvature radius r gradually increases within a range that does not exceed a radius R of an inscribed circle inscribed within two tooth flanks 17 and 18 and the tooth crest 16 on the normal plane T. The tooth crest arc section S can increase contact area when contact is made with a tooth flank of a partner gear and elastic deformation occurs.
