  • Publication number: 20230377156
    Abstract: Provided is an image and segmentation label generative model for tree-structured data and application. The model includes a simulation model for tree-structured image designed based on a small amount of expert knowledge and a generative network model based on morphological loss function. The present application can generate a simulated tree-structured image with labels that have a style highly similar to that of the real target image. This technology can generate image and segmentation labels for tree target in various medical images, such as brain neurons, retinal vessels, and trachea in the lungs, and the data quality can reach the level of manually annotated data. The model according to the present disclosure is the first model with the ability to automatically generate segmentation level data, and has the advantages of simple and flexible model configuration, high-quality generated data, and a wide range of applications.

  • Publication number: 20180217076
    Abstract: A nanoscale probe includes a substrate and a pair of nanoscale wires each having a first end disposed on the substrate and a second end. The second ends of each nanoscale wire are in contact with one another such that the pair of nanoscale wires form a bridge extending over the substrate. The nanoscale wires may be electrically connected to electrodes residing on the substrate. The electrodes, in turn, are connected to an active electronic device such as a readout device or microprocessor formed in the substrate on which the probe is located. In this way a property of the nanoscale wires, and thus of the cell, may be determined.

  • Patent number: 9381355
    Abstract: A prosthetic retina for implantation in an eye having a defective retina is formed from an array of nanowires having a predetermined spatial distribution, density, size and shape implanted in close proximity to the retina. An electrical conductor is formed at a first end of all nanowires in the array of nanowires and placed in contact with a bias source which biases the array. A plurality of electrodes is located on a second end of each of one nanowire or a bundle of nanowires in the array. Each nanowire produces a photocurrent at a corresponding electrode in response to detection of light impinging on the array of nanowires and the photocurrent stimulates one or more neurons adapted for visual perception. In the preferred embodiment, the predetermined spatial distribution mimics a distribution of rods and cones in a normal eye.

  • Patent number: 9024295
    Abstract: A 1D nanowire photodetector device includes a nanowire that is individually contacted by electrodes for applying a longitudinal electric field which drives the photocurrent. An intrinsic radial electric field to inhibits photo-carrier recombination, thus enhancing the photocurrent response. Circuits of 1D nanowire photodetectors include groups of photodetectors addressed by their individual 1D nanowire electrode contacts. Placement of 1D nanostructures is accomplished with registration onto a substrate. A substrate is patterned with a material, e.g., photoresist, and trenches are formed in the patterning material at predetermined locations for the placement of 1D nanostructures. The 1D nanostructures are aligned in a liquid suspension, and then transferred into the trenches from the liquid suspension. Removal of the patterning material places the 1D nanostructures in predetermined, registered positions on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8932940
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for direct heteroepitaxial growth of vertical III-V semiconductor nanowires on a silicon substrate. The silicon substrate is etched to substantially completely remove native oxide. It is promptly placed in a reaction chamber. The substrate is heated and maintained at a growth temperature. Group III-V precursors are flowed for a growth time. Preferred embodiment vertical Group III-V nanowires on silicon have a core-shell structure, which provides a radial homojunction or heterojunction. A doped nanowire core is surrounded by a shell with complementary doping. Such can provide high optical absorption due to the long optical path in the axial direction of the vertical nanowires, while reducing considerably the distance over which carriers must diffuse before being collected in the radial direction. Alloy composition can also be varied. Radial and axial homojunctions and heterojunctions can be realized. Embodiments provide for flexible Group III-V nanowire structures.

  • Patent number: 8847476
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods and devices for producing light by injecting electrons from field emission cathode across a gap into nanostructured semiconductor materials, electrons issue from a separate field emitter cathode and are accelerated by a voltage across a gap towards the surface of the nanostructured material that forms part of the anode. At the nanostructure material, the electrons undergo electron-hole (e-h) recombination resulting in electroluminescent (EL) emission. In a preferred embodiment lighting device, a vacuum enclosure houses a field emitter cathode. The vacuum enclosure also houses an anode that is separated by a gap from said cathode and disposed to receive electrons emitted from the cathode. The anode includes semiconductor light emitting nano structures that accept injection of electrons from the cathode and generate photons in response to the injection of electrons.
