Abstract: Systems and methods for generating training questions are disclosed. The method includes identifying a structure for generating an input; formulating the input according to the structure; providing the input to a first machine learning model; receiving an output from the first machine learning model based on the input; and training a second machine learning model based on the output. The first machine learning model may be a pre-trained generative language model.

Abstract: An exemplary apparatus for obtaining data for at least one portion within at least one luminal or hollow sample can be provided. For example, the apparatus can include a first optical arrangement configured to transceive at least one electromagnetic radiation to and from the portion(s). The apparatus can also include a wavelength dispersive second arrangement, which can be configured to disperse the electromagnetic radiation(s). A housing can be provided with a shape of a pill, and enclosing the first and second arrangements.

Abstract: A system and method for photo-thermal imaging of a lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) device are provided. The system includes an intensity modulated heat source directed at a surface of the LFA device to selectively excite chromophore particles of interest and a thermal capture device configured to capture thermal waves emitted from the surface of the LFA device as a radiometric signal. A computing device, in communication with the thermal capture device, receives the radiometric signal and executes lock-in demodulation to detect surface or subsurface inhomogeneities of the LFA device.

Abstract: A variable focus lens comprising: at least two substrates having a gap defined therebetween; a fluid material disposed between the at least two substrates to form a fluid bridge with a fluid bridge interface, the fluid material having a predetermined volume; and wherein at least one of a magnitude of the gap, the predetermined volume, curvature of the at least two substrates, wettability of the at least two substrates, and electrical stress state on the fluid bridge interface determines a working distance of the lens.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved thermophotonic imaging are provided in which both amplitude and phase image information is obtained with a high signal to noise ratio and depth-resolved capabilities. Image data obtained from an imaging camera is dynamically averaged and subsequently processed to extract amplitude and/or phase image data. The system may be configured for a wide range of imaging modalities, including single frequency modulation (thermophotonic lock-in imaging), Thermal-Wave Radar imaging or Thermophotonic Radar imaging involving chirp modulation, and Binary Phase Coded Modulation. Such imaging modalities may find application in many diverse areas, including non-destructive testing and biomedical diagnostic imaging including the imaging of teeth and monitoring changes in the tooth over time which are due to pathology such as dental caries or erosion.
