Abstract: Compressive imaging captures images in compressed form, where each sensor does not directly correspond with a pixel, as opposed to standard image capture techniques. This can lead to faster image capture rates due to lower I/O bandwidth requirements, and avoids the need for image compression hardware, as the image is captured in compressed form. Measuring the transformation of an emitted multimodal signal is one method of compressive imaging. Metamaterial antennas and transceivers are well suited for both emitting and receiving multimodal signals, and are thus prime candidates for compressive imaging.

According to an aspect, a method includes identifying a discrete dipole interaction matrix for a plurality of discrete dipoles corresponding to a plurality of scattering elements of a surface scattering antenna.

Abstract: Multi-sensor compressive imaging systems can include an imaging component (such an an RF, microwave, or mmW metamaterial surface antenna) and an auxiliary sensing component (such as an EO/IR sensor). In some approaches, the auxiliary sensing component includes a structured light sensor configured to identify the location or posture of an imaging target within a field of view of the imaging component. In some approaches, a reconstructed RF, microwave, or mmW image may be combined with a visual image of a region of interest to provide a multi-spectral representation of the region of interest.

Abstract: Provided are siRNA molecules that are particularly efficient in their ability to reduce transcription and expression of TNF or IL-1? in canine macrophage and synovial cells. The siRNA molecules demonstrate improved silencing of TNF or IL-1? as compared to siRNA molecules disclosed prior to the present invention. These properties are demonstrated in accepted experimental models of osteoarthritis, and particularly canine osteoarthritis. The siRNA molecules of the invention, may be employed in pharmaceutical compositions for use in the prevention and/or reduction of osteoarthritis in dogs. The inventors have found that encapsulation of the siRNAs in small PLGA microspheres confers surprisingly advantageous properties.
