  • Patent number: 12638911
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for early processing of a part of a user input to produce a response to the entire or final user input. While the user input is being received, a partial user input, which is a part of the final user input, is processed to produce a response. The response is a candidate response for the final user input. After the final user input is received, and if the partial user input is determined to match or be equivalent to the final user input, the first response, which is already available, is provided to one or more output devices for presentation. If the final user input is determined to differ from the partial user input, the final user input is processed to produce a second response to the final user input, and the second response is provided for presentation. In some instances, multiple partial user inputs are received and processed.

    Abstract: A colorimetric sensor for detecting an analyte of interest in a fluid sample includes a photonic structure comprising a first receptor, wherein the photonic structure may be configured such that, when an analyte contacts the first receptor within the photonic structure, a refractive property of the photonic structure changes thereby to cause a detectable color change in the photonic structure. The first receptor may comprise an optical absorber indicator, wherein a second receptor is part of a structure of the optical absorber indicator, such that, when the analyte contacts the second receptor, the analyte causes a photo-induced electron transfer to induce a color change of the optical absorber indicator.

  • Publication number: 20250161945
    Abstract: A colorimetric sensor for detecting an analyte of interest that includes multiple surfaces and a molecularly imprinted polymer defining a cavity shaped to receive an analyte of interest. Each surface defines a void (e.g., a pore or a nanohole) and at least one surface defines a fluid inlet. The sensor is configured such that, when an analyte contacts the molecularly imprinted polymer and becomes disposed within the cavity, a wettability of at least one of the surfaces changes thereby to cause a detectable color change in the sensor. Optionally, the sensor may also include a metal layer at a bottom of each void or nanohole and outside a top of each void or nanohole for use as a plasmon resonance-type sensor.
