Abstract: The disclosure provides an LED light source recognition method, device, apparatus, and medium based on deep learning, belonging to the field of indoor positioning and navigation technology. The method includes the following. In an LED lighting environment, a spline frame is obtained through a CMOS camera, in which the spline frame is an image having dark stripes. The spline frame is input to a target detection model, a dark stripe detection result output by the target detection model is obtained. The multiple rectangular boxes are preprocessed, and based on the predicted classification corresponding to each preprocessed rectangular box, an image feature encoding sequence of the spline frame is determined. The image feature encoding sequence is compared with a light source feature encoding sequence corresponding to each LED light source to determine the light source feature encoding sequence that best matches the spline frame.
Abstract: Provided herein are noninvasive stimulation methods and apparatus for the treatment of injury to tissues using a novel pulsed laser system that combines the benefits of near-infrared laser light and optoacoustic waves. In certain embodiments, short, high-energy laser light pulses generate low intensity ultrasound waves that travel deep into brain tissues to stimulate neural function and treat neurological dysfunctions. In certain embodiments, a patient interface is provided wherein optoacoustic waves are produced by a plurality of optical absorbers overlying all of a plurality of optical fibers while in other embodiments optoacoustic waves are generated both inside the tissue and outside the tissue via a plurality of optical absorbers overlying some but not all of the optical fibers thus enabling an option of varying proportions of optoacoustic waves generated inside and outside of tissue.

The cofferdam includes a first planar component, a second planar component, an inflatable hermetic airbag sandwiched therebetween, and connection members attached to the first planar component, a second planar component to form a cofferdam unit. The connection members are adjustable to apply and maintain a desired amount of pressure on the airbag to enable a watertight seal to be formed. The cofferdam units may be sized and designed to sealingly mate adjacent cofferdam units in a variety of configurations to form watertight seals. The cofferdam units may also be sized and designed to attach to seawalls, flood walls, sidewalks, or other infrastructure. When in a deployed state, the height of the cofferdam may be adjusted to a desired height to provide flood mitigation. When in an undeployed state, the cofferdam remains in a substantially flat and unobtrusive position.

Abstract: The invention relates to cylindrical tunable fluidic lenses. The cylindrical optical power of the lenses may be continuously tuned within at least ±10 diopters, without inducing any significant spherical aberration, or any other significant aberrations. The lenses feature a geometry that produces minimal or no spherical defocus. These cylindrical tunable fluidic lenses could be used to induce and/or correct cylindrical optical aberrations in adaptive optical systems, particularly in ophthalmologic applications related to objective and automatic assessment of the refractive error of the eye, without the need of receiving feedback from the subjects.

Abstract: A multi-layered micro-channel mixer includes a base plate and a cover plate. Two inlet fluid reservoirs, two inlet channels, two groups of fluid distribution channel networks, two groups of process fluid channels, an impinging stream mixing chamber, a fluid mixing intensification channel and an outlet buffer reservoir are provided on the base plate. Two fluids are fed into the two inlet fluid reservoirs, respectively. The fluids then flow into the process fluid channels via the inlet channels and the multi-stage fluid distribution channel networks, respectively. Then the two fluid streams ejected from the opposing process fluid channels impinges upon each other in the impinging stream mixing chamber. The mixed fluid is subjected to vortex or secondary flow generated by the baffles or the internals in the impinging stream mixing chamber and fluid mixing intensification channel, and finally the mixed fluid is discharged through the outlet buffer reservoir.
