Abstract: In various examples, one or more interior or occupant monitoring sensors may be calibrated using one or more display units (e.g., a projector, LED panel, laser robot, heads-up display) that can actively project or display a unique visual pattern and change one or more attributes of the patterns (e.g., shape, color, brightness, size, frame rate, perspective, etc.) without moving the one or more display units. The present techniques may be utilized to iteratively calibrate a sensor using a dynamic visual pattern with one or more visual attributes that vary from iteration to iteration, and/or to interleave different visual patterns in a common region of an overlapping field of view shared by multiple sensors.

Abstract: From diagnostic imaging to drug delivery, nanoparticles have found a tremendous variety of uses across fields. Often, when designing these nanoscale constructs, the two most important criteria are particle size and core loading. For example, small particles below 100 nm can have many advantages for drug delivery—including improved specificity to tumors through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Likewise, higher loading nanoparticles translate very well to more effective drug delivery and cancer imaging—allowing for lower dosage and reduced costs. Traditional formulations of nanoparticles using drug absorption or precipitation methods generally struggle to obtain >50% loading. Disclosed herein is a precipitation process allowing for production of stable particles at very high core loading by taking advantage of different time scales while maintaining biologically relevant sizes.
