  • Publication number: 20260162073
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to track a sequence of steps of charging an electric vehicle (EV) by electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE), execute a large-language model (LLM) to generate handling operations for a user to handle components of the EVSE, and output the handling operations to an extended-reality (XR) device. The handling operations support the steps of charging the EV. The XR device displays the handling operations overlaid on the EVSE. The XR device highlights the components of the EVSE that are in the handling operations.

  • Publication number: 20260137814
    Abstract: The present invention discloses aggregation-induced emission fluorescent compounds with near-infrared (NIR) emission. This fluorescent compound is then encapsulated by polymer matrix to yield nanoaggregates which is confirmed to show an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency while maintaining a high fluorescence quantum yield. Consequently, the photothermal therapeutic efficacy can be improved by PTA-oriented accumulation of nanoaggregates, compared with the barely enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The in vitro and in vivo verification further confirmed that the nanoaggregates exhibit superior fluorescence-guided phototheranostics ability to eliminate tumors.

  • Publication number: 20260111726
    Abstract: A method for training a prediction model to generate a high-resolution image representing defects on a substrate from a low-resolution image of the substrate. The method includes inputting a first image and a reference image of defects on a substrate, which are representative of images captured using different image capture conditions, to a neural network. The neural network is executed to generate a predicted image in response to the first image. A loss function that is indicative of a difference between a defect distribution in the predicted image and a defect distribution in the reference image is calculated and the neural network is modified based on the loss function. The neural network may be trained until the loss function is minimized.
