Optical phased arrays (OPAs) are promising in various applications owing to their excellent beam steering performance but suffer from the random initial phases ruining the beam patterns. In this work, an interference-based calibration method to align the random phases for OPA operations is proposed....

Exercise metrics are critical for assessing health, but real-time heart rate and respiration measurements remain challenging. We propose a physiological monitoring system that uses an in-ear microphone to extract heart rate and respiration from faint ear canal signals. An improved non-negative matri...

PiRNAs are a subclass of non-coding RNAs, 26–31 nucleotides (nt) in length, that form regulatory complexes through their interaction with PIWI proteins. Studies in model organisms have demonstrated that piRNAs play crucial roles in tissue development and in predicting disease outcomes, positioning t...
