Abstract: Videos captured in low light conditions can be processed in order to identify an activity being performed in the video. The processing may use both the video and audio streams for identifying the activity in the low light video. The video portion is processed to generate a darkness-aware feature which may be used to modulate the features generated from the audio and video features. The audio features may be used to generate a video attention feature and the video features may be used to generate an audio attention feature. The audio and video attention features may also be used in modulating the audio video features. The modulated audio and video features may be used to predict an activity occurring in the video.

Abstract: A method and a sensor for detecting L-cystine are disclosed. The method is implemented by assembling a sodium 3,3?-dithiodipropane sulfonate (SPS) membrane on a surface of Au membrane layer of an Au electrode and using an extended gate of field effect transistor (FET) and in-situ signal amplification of the FET to detect L-cystine sensitively. The polyanion of the SPS membrane adsorbs and binds a positively charged target L-cystine through electrostatic interaction, thus forming an electric double layer structure to generate a membrane potential identifying a monovalent organic ammonium ion. The sensor includes the FET, wherein a gate-extended gold electrode is arranged on the FET, and the SPS membrane is assembled on the surface of the Au membrane layer of the gate-extended gold electrode. The sensor has an excellent Nernst response to L-cystine.
