ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR FABRICATING MICRO-NANO STRUCTURES

An innovative method has been developed for creating 3D nanostructures using additive manufacturing. This method involves arranging charged particles in a fluid with precision using an electric field to print them onto a substrate, forming the desired array of nanostructures. Unlike other nanofabrication techniques, this method does not require high temperatures, special chemicals, lasers, or electron beams, making it cost-effective and fast. It allows for printing at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with high purity and resolution, using multiple materials simultaneously. This technology overcomes limitations of traditional methods by offering faster printing speeds, larger printing areas, and the ability to create complex 3D structures efficiently.

MAKEUP VIRTUAL TRY ON METHODS AND APPARATUS

An invention has been created to help people virtually try on makeup using advanced technology. The invention uses methods and systems to render makeup effects on a person's face. By tracking facial features and using deep neural networks, the invention can accurately apply makeup virtually. The technology maps and warps the facial features to create a realistic virtual makeup look. Users can simulate applying makeup products by using a 2D mask image adjusted with a 3D shape of their facial features. This innovation allows for a fun and convenient way to experiment with different makeup looks without physically applying any products.

AUTOMATED PREVIEW GENERATION FOR VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT CONTENT

An automated system has been created to make previews for video entertainment content. It extracts features like emotions from different parts of the video. Using these features and filtering criteria, it selects specific segments for the preview based on emotions. Each segment is given a score based on how well it fits the overall plot of the video. These scores help in combining segments to create an engaging preview for the video. This invention helps content providers, especially independent artists, who may have limited resources, in generating attractive previews for their videos.

FLEXIBLE DISPLAY DEVICE

A flexible display device has a display panel that can bend around a bending axis, supported by a frame with guide parts and fixing parts. The controller's length adjusts based on the panel's bending state and connects to the fixing parts to control their movements. When the fixing parts are connected to the guide parts, they prevent the display panel from straightening out, maintaining its bent shape without needing an additional mount. Flexible display devices, like this one, are becoming popular for their ability to show images even when folded or rolled due to their thin, flexible substrates. This technology opens up possibilities for next-generation display devices with various applications in different industries.

MECHANISMS FOR MEASURING AND MINIMIZING THE IMPACT OF SOFTWARE EXPERIENCES ON HUMAN CONTEXT-SWITCHING

An invention has been created to measure and reduce the impact of software experiences on human context-switching. This invention evaluates software applications based on factors like switch distance, task anchor visibility, and user satisfaction. A machine learning model is used to analyze this information and suggest modifications to improve the user interface and experience. The goal is to minimize the need for users to switch between different contexts while using software. This invention addresses a gap in current UI/UX design practices by considering the impact on user context-switching.

FLEXIBLE DISPLAY DEVICE

A flexible display device has a screen that can bend in a certain area, with light-emitting elements on the active part of the screen and conductive lines on the non-active area. There is a reflective layer under the conductive lines to prevent issues during assembly. This invention aims to reduce the width of the bezel around the display. It belongs to the category of advanced display technologies like OLED screens. The device is designed to be thin, lightweight, and energy-efficient for modern information-oriented society.

GENERATING VIRTUAL HAIRSTYLE USING LATENT SPACE PROJECTORS

A technology has been developed to create virtual hairstyles using advanced computer models. First, a face image is generated using a special model called GAN. Then, 3D virtual hair is added to this image to create a new image with virtual hair. This new image is transformed into a more realistic version using complex calculations. The final step involves blending this realistic virtual hair with the original face image to create a completely new image with lifelike hair. Additionally, a neural network is trained to generate output images with realistic virtual hair based on input images with 3D virtual hair.

Targeted Destruction of Viral RNA by CRISPR-Cas13

A new method called CRISPR-Cas13 can target and destroy viral RNA to treat infections. This method uses CRISPR RNAs that are designed to match the viral RNA sequences. The Cas protein, specifically Cas13, is used along with the CRISPR RNAs to carry out the destruction process. This invention is particularly useful for combating viruses like coronaviruses that can cause serious diseases in both animals and humans. By specifically targeting the viral RNA, this method offers a potential alternative to vaccines for treating viral infections effectively.

DISPLAY DEVICE

This invention is a display device that can switch between a flat screen and a curved screen easily. It has a panel frame and a bending member that can change the shape of the panel frame. The bending member includes a shaft assembly and a driving unit to deform it. Users can choose the screen shape they prefer without having to buy separate devices. This technology allows for flexibility in display preferences and enhances user experience.

USE OF ONCOLYTIC ADENOVIRUS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC BRAIN CANCER

Oncolytic adenoviruses are being studied for treating pediatric brain tumors, specifically diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Brain tumors are a major cause of cancer-related deaths in children, with different characteristics compared to adult brain tumors. Pediatric brain tumors have unique genetic and epigenetic features that affect their behavior and response to treatment. Unlike adult brain tumors, over 60% of pediatric brain tumors occur in the lower part of the brain (infratentorial region) like the cerebellum or brainstem. Brainstem gliomas, a type of pediatric brain tumor, are rare in adults but account for a significant portion of pediatric brain tumors.
