Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for synthesizing a singing voice, an electronic device and a program product. The method comprises obtaining a musical score file with breath-taking identifiers, and segmenting the musical score file into a plurality of musical score segments based on the breath-taking identifiers. The method further comprises generating a plurality of audio segments corresponding to the plurality of musical score segments, and synthesizing a singing voice corresponding to the musical score file based on the plurality of audio segments. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the musical score file is segmented into a plurality of musical score segments according to the breath-taking identifier, a plurality of audio segments corresponding to the plurality of musical score segments are generated, and finally, a singing voice corresponding to the musical score file is synthesized based on the plurality of audio segments.

Abstract: A system, device and/or method for multiplex assays. In a particular, but non-limiting, example there is provided a multiplex array, such as a suspension array. Luminescence decay lifetimes are utilized for probes in a suspension array, and coding/decoding the codes from time-resolved spectra. Lifetime populations can be generated at distinct color bands. A novel temporal technique or dimension is applied over conventional spectral and intensity combinations, thereby expanding the multiplexing capacity of a suspension array. In one example form, the multiplexing capacity of a suspension array can be expanded to the order of about 58. This provides a reliable, high-throughput and relatively inexpensive solution for multiplex assays in various areas of application such as life sciences, data storage and security.

Abstract: In one form, a two-directional scanning method for luminescence microscopy is disclosed. A series of continuous scans are performed by an interrogation wide-field relative to a first direction and a target is identified. A precise position of the target is determined in the first direction. At least one scan by the interrogation wide-field is performed relative to a second direction at or near the precise position of the target in the first direction. The two-directional scanning method produces “on-the-fly” (i.e. ex tempore or impromptu) precise localization of targets. Embodiments open up new applications for background-free or background-reduced luminescence microscopy, for example time-gated or time-resolved luminescence microscopy, in a relatively fast, higher speed or more efficient manner.
