We present Sophia-in-Audition (SiA), a new frontier in virtual production, by employing the humanoid robot Sophia within an UltraStage environment composed of a controllable lighting dome coupled with multiple cameras. We demonstrate Sophia's capability ...

The online performance of customer service bots is often less than satisfactory because of the gap between limited training data and real-world user questions. As a straightforward way to improve online performance, model iteration and re-deployment are ...

Transport proteins (TPs) are vital to the growth and life of all living things, especially in fields of microbial pathogenesis and drug resistance of tumor cells. Accurately identifying potential TPs remains an important challenge for the ...

• Application of deep learning in transporters identification.
• Proposing an effective tool for predicting transporters.
• Interpreting the reasoning process of DeepTP.

In medical insurance industry, a lot of human labor is required to collect information of claimants. Human assessors need to converse with claimants in order to record key information and organize it into a structured summary. With the purpose of helping ...

We, humans, are entering into a virtual era and indeed want to bring animals to the virtual world as well for companion. Yet, computer-generated (CGI) furry animals are limited by tedious off-line rendering, let alone interactive motion control. In this ...

Power is one of the most important metrics in the modern integrated circuit design. We optimize the circuit power using two major approaches, pipelining and dual-supply voltage (dual-V _dd ) ...

• A novel pipeline design customized for dual supply voltage assignment is proposed.

Fault tolerance (FT) is essential in many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, in particular in the domains such as medical devices and automotive systems where a single fault in the system can lead to serious consequences. Non-volatile memory (NVM), on ...

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) take advantage of the effect of process variation on hardware to obtain their unclonability. Traditional PUF design only focuses on the analog signals of circuits. An arbiter PUF, for example, generates responses by ...

Low energy, as one of the most important metrics in modern design, has also been considered as an important criterion to many DSP applications. To address the low energy issue of DSP applications, in this work, we have proposed a new energy minimization ...

Wireless sensor networks have been increasingly popular and they have been deployed in a wide range of areas including transportation system, healthcare, robotics, and smart home. Wireless sensor networks have facilitated our life using the remote ...

Cost and energy have become the bottleneck of many medical embedded systems. It is mainly due to the fact that wireless medical devices used in wireless health applications normally employ a large number of sensors, which are both expensive as well as ...

Aiming at the weakness of the existing cloud neural network on training and practicality, a new improved structure of cloud neural network is designed. A hidden layer is added prior to the inverse cloud layer. Threshold level is set to zero and a simple ...

It is commonly known that physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are hard to predict and hard to emulate. However, in this paper, we propose to use statistical models to adaptively characterize the delay-based PUFs, and use this as a starting point to ...

The traditional flatness control methods have the problems of limited control accuracy, slow responding and difficultly establishing a precise mathematical model, in addition, the traditional BP optimal algorithm exists the shortage of easy trapped in ...

We report the rheological and microstructural shear response of a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated silver nanowires and nanoparticle aggregates (Ag) dispersed in ethylene glycol (EG) or water (H₂O). Biphasic and liquid crystalline ...

Computer-aided design (CAD), in its quest to facilitate new design revolutions, is again on the brink of changing its scope. Following both historical and recent technological and application trends, one can identify several emerging research and ...

Small form, mobile, and remote sensor network systems require secure and ultralow power data collection and communication solutions due to their energy constraints. The physical unclonable function (PUF) has emerged as a popular modern low power ...

Medical sensor networks have facilitated a wide range of applications in healthcare. However, these systems are in particular vulnerable to security attacks due to the fact that they are often not physically secured and are used in potentially hostile ...

Wireless communication is widely used in Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) to facilitate data transmission, device programming, and real time monitoring. However, wireless systems are easy targets for attackers to inspect and potentially breach. Thus, ...

This dissertation provided key examples of inorganic nanocylinder lyotropic liquid crystalline phase formation including silver nanowire nematic and silica nanorod smectic liquid crystals. Inorganic nanocylinder liquid crystals are a relatively ...
