Abstract:MicroRNA (miRNA) is closely related to the occurrence and development of certain diseases and can be used as a diagnostic marker. Conventional methods for the detection of miRNA are time-consuming and complex. Herein, a portable rapid miRNA detection system was designed. This system records the fluorescence intensity of the marker that is amplified via rolling circle amplification using a photoelectric detection technique, and analyzes the fluorescence data to obtain the changes in miRNA. Through our experiments, we observed that for reagent concentrations in the range 0.1-1 μmol, the linearity of the fluorescence intensity detected by the miRNA fluorescence detection equipment was less than ±5%, and the repeatability was ≥ 95%. Our roll amplification experiment involving the coronary heart disease diagnostic marker, miR-499, confirmed that the portable rapid miRNA detection system can detect miRNA quickly and effectively.

Focal stack and projection slice theorem used in the algorithm was researched. Firstly, parameterized 4D light field definit
Abstract:This work extended sparse decomposition (SD) into quaternion space in order to find a better sparse representation for acoustic vector array (AVA). A novel sparse decomposition algorithm based on the well-known orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) for quaternionic signals was proposed and it was used to solve the question of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of AVA in small snapshot number, coherent signal source and low signal noise ratio (SNR) case. Compare with the complex field SD algorithm, The results illustrate that the atomic length of the over-complete dictionary is reduced to one-third of that from the long vector model, while errors in DOA estimation are effectively eliminated using the long vector method when the true angles of DOA estimation lie within 1°. Simulation results verify the validity of this algorithm.

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of precise alignment of industrial arm, an industrial robot alignment method based on monocular vision is proposed. Combining the industrial robot with monocular vision measurement and a specialized hand-eye calibration panel, the method is able to quickly establish the hand-eye relationship between the camera coordinate system and the alignment axis on the robot's end-effector. In the alignment stage, the attitude of the workpiece is obtained by monocular vision system, and then according to the existing hand-eye relationship and datum posture, the position and orientation between the alignment axis and the workpiece of the alignment axis are evaluated. The experimental results show that the average precision of the alignment is better than 0.2° under the measuring distance of 150 mm.
