Electrochemically Debondable Thiol-Catechol-Functionality (TCC) Adhesive System and Use Thereof
This invention is an adhesive system that can be switched off on demand using an electrical signal. It is based on a chemical combination of thiol and catechol groups that bond strongly when cured, but lose their adhesion when an electric current oxidizes the catechol molecules into quinones. To make this electrochemical debonding practical, the adhesive contains conductive particle fillers and an ionic liquid, which together allow electricity to flow through the adhesive and trigger a controlled release — either fully detaching the bond or simply reducing its strength enough to allow separation.
Method and Arrangement for Generating and Processing Photon Streams
This invention describes a method and system for generating and processing streams of single photons for quantum communication. Each photon in the stream is coherently split into two components that are sent to two separate receivers, where each component generates two time-shifted quantum states. The key innovation is the use of an "anti-bunched" photon stream — one in which photons are spaced apart in time in a highly regular, non-random way — characterized by an anti-bunching length. A bit of information is registered only when both receivers detect a photon event simultaneously or within a time window no larger than this anti-bunching length, effectively using the quantum statistics of the light source as a security and synchronization mechanism.
Method for Determining a Probability of a Bone Disease in a Patient
This invention is a method for estimating the probability that a patient has a bone disease, using a two-stage artificial neural network approach. In a training phase, a first neural network is trained on a large image dataset, and its learned parameters are then transferred to a second neural network — a technique known as transfer learning. The second network is fine-tuned on a more specific bone-disease image dataset and then deployed in a clinical examination phase. During examination, skeletal imaging data from a patient is fed into the second trained model, which outputs a probability score indicating the likelihood of the patient having the bone disease.
