Abstract: A temperature sensing system includes absolute temperature sensor(s) and/or thermopiles that form concentric geometries and are uniform in height. In some examples, the temperature sensing system can determine internal body temperature and/or ambient temperature based at least on a thermal gradient associated with the inner thermopile, a thermal gradient associated with the outer thermopile, a lateral temperature difference between the inner and the outer thermopiles, and an absolute temperature. In some examples, the temperature sensing system can determine the internal body temperature and/or ambient temperature using at least four absolute temperature sensors forming a concentric structure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for electronic devices associated with monitoring a patient's use of an intraoral dental appliance. The monitoring electronics may communicate with near-field communication (NFC) signals. An NFC booster is disclosed to improve NFC data transfer between the electronic devices that monitor patient usage and communication devices. NFC boosters may be included within dental appliance cases and/or mobile phone cases. Also described are method and apparatuses for mounting the monitoring electronics onto the dental appliance. Also described are compact sensors, e.g., capacitive sensors, that may be included as part of a monitoring electronics unit.

Abstract: Apparatuses for sanitizing and/or sterilizing a dental/orthodontic appliance are described herein. These apparatuses may include an internal chamber in which one or more sanitizing/sterilizing modes, such as UV light (e.g., UVC light), ultrasound, heat, etc. may be applied to an appliance.

Abstract: A model-driven deep learning-based seismic super-resolution inversion method includes the following steps: 1) mapping each iteration of a model-driven alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) into each layer of a deep network, and learning proximal operators by using a data-driven method to complete the construction of a deep network ADMM-SRINet; 2) obtaining label data used to train the deep network ADMM-SRINet; 3) training the deep network ADMM-SRINet by using the obtained label data; and 4) inverting test data by using the deep network ADMM-SRINet trained at step 3). The method combines the advantages of a model-driven optimization method and a data-driven deep learning method, and therefore the network has the interpretability; and meanwhile, due to the addition of physical knowledge, the iterative deep learning method lowers requirements for a training set, and therefore an inversion result is more reliable.

Abstract: An automobile tire pressure monitoring system and tire identification method that includes a transmitting and detecting unit provided on each tire, as well as a receiving and display unit that includes a receiving unit, a main control unit and a display unit. A plug-in encoding memory is plugged into the receiving and display unit. One fixed ID code, which is the same as that for the encoding memory, is provided for each transmitting and detecting unit. When the power is on, the receiving and display unit reads the ID code in each plug-in encoding memory plugged into the socket of the display unit, and saves the information on the corresponding relationships between ID codes saved in memories and the tire identity. After receiving the signal from the transmission unit, the receiving and display unit reads the ID codes in it, and determines whether these codes are identical with those in the memories.
