  • Publication number: 20250082244
    Abstract: Wearable technologies for personalized monitoring require sensors that track biomarkers often present at low levels. Cortisol—a key stress biomarker—is present in sweat at low nanomolar concentrations. Previous wearable sensing systems are limited to analytes in the micromolar-millimolar ranges. To overcome these and other limitations, the present embodiments include a flexible field-effect transistor (FET) biosensor array that exploits a new cortisol aptamer coupled to nanometer-thin-film In2O3 FETs. Cortisol levels were determined via molecular recognition by aptamers where binding was transduced to electrical signals on FETs. The physiological relevance of cortisol as a stress biomarker was demonstrated by tracking salivary cortisol levels in participants in a Trier Social Stress Test and establishing correlations between cortisol in diurnal saliva and sweat samples.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-base station queued preambles allocation method based on collaboration between multiple agent, which provides a non-competitive preambles allocation method in a scenario of multiple base stations and multiple cells, so as to solve the congestion problem caused during random access of massive MTCDs. The devices are queued to select the preambles based on deep reinforcement learning, and a training method based on federal learning is applied, thus effectively solving the congestion problem caused by competitive access. First, the newly accessed devices are grouped and the level of priority is set according to a delay tolerance time. Then, the device are reasonably allocated to idle queues by means of a multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm. Finally, by means of a federal training method, the neural network of each agent is synchronously optimized by means of average optimization of neural network gradients, thus completing preambles allocation to each agent.

  • Publication number: 20250085224
    Abstract: A system infers continuous potential energy landscapes, including barrier heights and friction coefficients, from smFRET data without the need to discretely approximate a state-space. The system operates within a Bayesian nonparametric paradigm by placing priors on the family of all possible potential curves, and leverages a Structured-Kernel-Interpolation Gaussian Process prior to help curtail computational cost. The system enables decoding information about continuous energy potential landscapes along a continuous coordinate for biological interactions (e.g., protein folding and binding) using a single dataset, including rarely visited barriers between putative potential minima. As such, the system allows resolution enhancement for probing biophysical systems to obtain deeper insight into protein folding, protein binding, and the physics of molecular motors.
