The shapes of target surfaces are nonplanar on many occasions such as undulating road and roof of the tunnel, while the lighting quality generated by traditional nonimaging optical lenses still needs to be further improved. As a result, a novel method is proposed for the design of optical elements g...

Record linkage aims to identify records referring to the same individual across different datasets, but often involves sensitive personal identifiers. Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) techniques, particularly those based on Bloom filter encoding, enable secure linkage while protecting privac...

As an important branch of computational optics, the light field can simultaneously record the spatial intensity and propagation direction of light, which provides a new way to realize three-dimensional (3D) measurement. Although light field measuring system (LFMS) can quickly detect nontransparent s...

We have developed an adjustable optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing unit for monitoring nasal breathing. The FBG sensing unit can accommodate individuals with varying facial dimensions by adjusting the connecting holes of the ear hangers. We employed two FBG configurations: an encapsulated FBG...

For successful economic management of cephalopod fisheries, short-lived squid with a 1-year life span require stock assessment over a short timescale, accompanied by both in-season and real-time stock management. However, insufficient information is available about the dynamic distribution patterns...

A fluorescent aptamer paper-based chip sensor was developed for the rapid and highly sensitive on-site detection of Cd2+. In this sensor, based on the strong specific binding between fluorescence-labeled aptamer and Cd2+, a competitive fluorescence turn-on strategy was adopted. The quencher-labeled...
