Abstract: Translational rapid ultraviolet-excited sectioning tomography (TRUST) applies ultraviolet (UV) excitation to a sample and images fluorescence and autofluorescence emission for tomographically imaging the sample. Deep-learning neural networks are used to achieve higher imaging speed and imaging resolution. In one use, fluorescence images acquired with relatively low imaging resolution can be transformed into high-resolution images through the first conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN), a super-resolution neural network (e.g., ESRGAN), which is also helpful for reducing the image scanning time. In another use, the second cGAN, such as Pix2Pix, is used to realize virtual optical sectioning to enhance the axial resolution of the imaging system. Compared to the conventional pattern illumination methods (e.g.

Abstract: Disclosed are a chassis of an automated guided vehicle and an automated guided vehicle. The chassis includes a front frame (1) and a rear frame (2) that are engaged with each other in a hinged joint manner, so as to allow a relative folding between the rear frame (2) and the front frame (1). The relative folding enables the driving wheels and the driven wheels to touch the ground on a sunken road at the same time to prevent that only the driven wheels (10) touch the ground while the driving wheels (9) slip, and increases the approach angle of the chassis on a convex road to prevent the front end of the chassis from touching any obstacle, which improve the safety of the vehicle. Moreover, the damping device (3) restricts the folding angle of the front frame (1) and the rear frame (2) to prevent that the relative folding angle of the front frame (1) and the rear frame (2) is too large to realize the transport function, and damps the folding angle for reducing vibration.
