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: A thin-film-coating/substrate two-layer thermal absorber/emitter structure is configured with controllable emission properties at ultra-high operating temperatures. The proposed two-layer thermal absorber/emitter structure is composed of a substrate made of a first material, and a thin-film layer/coating made of a second material and disposed on the substrate. The single thin-film layer or coating provides control and tuning of the emission properties of the overall two-layer thermal absorber/emitter structure. Both materials selected for the absorber/emitter structure possess high melt points to withstand extreme temperature variations. The two-layer thermal absorber/emitter structure reduces the complexity and cost of fabrication and manufacture and the likelihood of thermal failure.

Abstract: A safety-critical control system and method with train-time calibration of object detection. A controller calibrates prediction by a deep neural network. The train-time calibration includes a multi-class confidence calibration, and a bounding box localization calibration. The controller outputs a calibrated image with the object bounding box, the corresponding class label, and a respective confidence score. The confidence score is a probability associated with the predicted class label. The multi-class confidence calibration is determined as a difference between a fused mean confidence and a certainty with accuracy. The fused mean confidence is between a mean logits-based class-wise confidence and class wise certainty. The controller determines the localization calibration by determining a deviation between a predicted mean bounding box overlap and a predictive certainty of the bounding box.
