  • Publication number: 20230200686
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for fabricating a wearable hydrogel glucose sensor, belonging to the technical field of biomedical sensing, including using polyacrylamide hydrogel as a basic material, preparing a hydrogel film by adding with phenylboronic acid group capable of recognizing glucose molecules, and carrying out grating writing on the hydrogel film in a femtosecond laser direct writing mode to obtain the wearable hydrogel glucose sensor. The hydrogel film combines with glucose and expands linearly, which makes the grating period and effective refractive index change. The quantitative measurement of glucose is realized by detecting the spatial position of diffraction band and the change of diffraction power intensity.

  • Publication number: 20230208578
    Abstract: User Equipments (UEs) may be assigned a set of aggregated component carriers for downlink carrier aggregation and/or carrier selection. Some UEs may be incapable of transmitting uplink signals over all component carriers in their assigned set of aggregated component carriers. In such scenarios, a UE may need to perform SRS switching in order to transmit SRS symbols over all of the component carriers. Embodiments of this disclosure provide various techniques for facilitating SRS switching. For example, a radio resource control (RRC) message may be used to signal a periodic SRS configuration parameter. As another example, a downlink control indication (DCI) message may be used to signal an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter. Many other examples are also provided.

    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution is proposed for super-resolution image reconstructing. According to the solution, an input image with first resolution is obtained. An invertible neural network is trained using the input image, wherein the invertible neural network is configured to generate an intermediate image with second resolution and first high-frequency information based on the input image, the second resolution being lower than the first resolution. Subsequently, an output image with third resolution is generated based on the input image and second high-frequency information by using an inverse network of the trained invertible neural network, the second high-frequency information conforming to a predetermined distribution, and the third resolution being higher than the first resolution. The solution can effectively process a low-resolution image obtained by an unknown downsampling method, thereby obtaining a high-quality and high-resolution image.

The detection and/or enhancement may be accomplished utilizing artificial neural networks such as one or more classification neural networks and/or one or more graph neural networks. The neural networks may be used to detect areas in the medical scan images that may correspond to the objects of interest and cluster the areas belonging to a same object into a respective cluster. These tasks may be accomplished, for example, by representing the areas corresponding to the objects of interest and their interrelationships with a graph and processing the graph through the one or more graph neural networks so that the areas belonging to each object may be properly labeled and clustered. The clusters may then be used to enhance the objects of interests in one or more output scan images.
