  • Patent number: 11291737
    Abstract: An aqueous synthesis methodology for the preparation of silica nanoparticles (SNPs), core-shell SNPs having, for example, a size of 2 to 15 nm and narrow size-dispersion with size control below 1 nm, i.e. at the level of a single atomic layer. Different types of dyes, including near infrared (NIR) emitters, can be covalently encapsulated within and brightness can be enhanced via addition of extra silica shells. The surface may be functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) groups and, optionally, specific surface ligands. This aqueous synthesis methodology also enables synthesis of 2 to 15 nm sized fluorescent core and core-shell aluminosilicate nanoparticles (ASNPs) which may also be surface functionalized. Encapsulation efficiency and brightness of highly negatively charged NIR fluorophores is enhanced relative to the corresponding SNPs without aluminum.

  • Publication number: 20220036187
    Abstract: A sample generation method outputs a dummy sample set generated by a trained sample generation network that operates on spliced vectors formed by combining real category feature vectors extracted from real samples with real category label vectors corresponding to the real samples. The trained sample generation network is trained using real samples and dummy samples that are generated by an intermediate sample generation network operating on the spliced vectors. The training includes inputting the real samples and the dummy samples to an intermediate sample discrimination network, performing iterative adversarial training of the intermediate sample generation network and the intermediate sample discrimination network until an iteration stop condition is met. As a result, the dummy sample set output by the trained sample generation network includes dummy samples that are not easily differentiated from real samples and that are already labeled with category information, for accurate use in training classifiers.

In this invention, an auxiliary encapsulation layer is disposed on an outer side of an inorganic layer, and the auxiliary encapsulation layer at least covers a bending region of the inorganic layer and a boundary region of the inorganic layer. Even if the inorganic layer cracks or peels in the bending region and the boundary region, a channel of water and oxygen generated at a cracked place or a peeling place is blocked by the auxiliary encapsulation layer, thereby ensuring an ability of the encapsulation film to block water and oxygen into an organic light-emitting device.
