Abstract: A steerable device and methods of navigating and manufacturing the steerable device are described. An example method of navigating the steerable device includes selecting one or more actuators from a plurality of actuators positioned at a plurality of locations on a flexible skin of the steerable device, allowing a gas or fluid to be directed to a hollow interior of the flexible skin to form an elongate body, and activating the one or more actuators by applying heat to the one or more actuators to cause the one or more actuators to contract and to thereby bend the elongate body at a particular angle. The one or more actuators are made of a flexible material, and are selected to, upon activation, bend one or more sections of the flexible skin at one or more angles.

Abstract: A computing apparatus includes a memory storing at least one program and a processor configured to perform at least one operation by executing the at least one program, wherein the processor is further configured to analyze a pathological slide image to classify at least one of cells and tissues included in the pathological slide image into at least one type, segment the pathological slide image into subpatches on the basis of a result of the classification, and analyze the subpatches to output information regarding components of a cell included in each of the subpatches.

Abstract: A strain sensor utilizes an ohmic-based contact switch to detect strain. The sensor can be incorporated into other structures, such as an artificial flapping wing, to detect strain and other parameters, including air flow disturbances. The sensors are fabricated using an additive manufacturing process, with a layer of gold or other conductive material applied for electrical conductivity and UV laser ablation for electrical isolation. The sensor design incorporates mechanical amplification, converting small strains into larger displacements that close contact pads, resulting in an ohmic switch activated at a specific strain threshold. Unlike traditional sensors, the switch provides a high or low state output directly without the need for additional amplification or post-processing. The device can detect disturbances in flapping wing cycles and obtain yaw rotation information, with potential applications in other aircraft for disturbance detection.
