  • Publication number: 20250167505
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficient and economic production of multiple free electron lasers includes a serial arrangement of multiple FEL oscillators along a line or a closed ring and reuse of a single electron beam multiple times to drive all FEL oscillators. In a ring configuration, electron bunch recirculation in the ring could also be combined with reuse of the electron beam for FEL production. This would lead to performance enhancement as current of the electron beam would be boosted by a factor of the number of FEL oscillators thereby multiplying the amount of bunch recirculation in the ring and leading to multiple times higher photon flux/average brightness. The invention can also be applied for hybrid photon sources of both FEL and incoherent synchrotron radiation, driven by one electron beam.

  • Publication number: 20250166338
    Abstract: A multi-organ nuclei segmentation method based on prompt learning is provided. The multi-organ nuclei segmentation method fully mines image information based on text and image information and learns an association between semantic information and a segmentation target, thereby achieving comprehensive learning for target region segmentation. The multi-organ nuclei segmentation method learns a large amount of text and image paired knowledge from six publicly available nucleus datasets based on a clip model to acquire prior knowledge for semantic understanding of nuclei, making a model fully suitable for nuclei segmentation. The constructed model inputs images and text prompts, and utilizes text and image information to achieve nucleus recognition and accurate nuclei segmentation of six different organs, improving computational efficiency. The model can also utilize sufficient text prompts to complete accurate segmentation tasks on some unlabeled datasets, achieving practicality and scalability.

  • Publication number: 20250161205
    Abstract: A biocompatible antimicrobial composition effective against microbial biofilms, including in vivo biofilms containing gram-positive bacteria, can be delivered to and used near the spinal column of vertebrates. Once introduced to an area colonized with a bacterial biofilm, particularly an intervertebral disc, the antimicrobial composition weakens the EPS/ECPS macromolecules of the biofilm, which makes the entire biofilm structure susceptible to being dislodged from the affected area or biosorbed. Additionally or alternatively, certain of the subcomponents of the solute component, as well as perhaps the organic liquid(s) of the solvent component, might lyse microbes, particularly gram-positive bacteria, previously protected by the EPS/ECPS macromolecules. Swelling of and around previously impacted intervertebral discs can be reduced or eliminated, often resulting in appreciable reductions in patient pain levels.
