The rise of electrochromics through dynamic QR codes and grayscale images in screen printed passive matrix addressed displays.

ABSTRACT: Electronic matrix addressed displays capable of presenting arbitrary grayscale images typically require complex device architectures including switching components to provide unique pixel addressability. Here, we demonstrate high-yield manufacturing of passive matrix addressed electrochromic displays on flexible substrates by solely using screen printing. The simple pixel architecture, obtained by printing only three active layers on top of each other, concurrently provides both the electrochromic functionality and the critical non-linear pixel switching response that enables presentation of arbitrary grayscale images in the resulting passive matrix addressed displays. The all-printed display technology exhibits unprecedented performance and is further verified by dynamic QR codes, to exemplify utilization within authentication, packaging, or other emerging Internet of Things applications requiring a low-cost display for data visualization.

Screen printed passive components for flexible power electronics.

Project description:Additive and low-temperature printing processes enable the integration of diverse electronic devices, both power-supplying and power-consuming, on flexible substrates at low cost. Production of a complete electronic system from these devices, however, often requires power electronics to convert between the various operating voltages of the devices. Passive components-inductors, capacitors, and resistors-perform functions such as filtering, short-term energy storage, and voltage measurement, which are vital in power electronics and many other applications. In this paper, we present screen-printed inductors, capacitors, resistors and an RLC circuit on flexible plastic substrates, and report on the design process for minimization of inductor series resistance that enables their use in power electronics. Printed inductors and resistors are then incorporated into a step-up voltage regulator circuit. Organic light-emitting diodes and a flexible lithium ion battery are fabricated and the voltage regulator is used to power the diodes from the battery, demonstrating the potential of printed passive components to replace conventional surface-mount components in a DC-DC converter application.

Utility of QR codes in biological collections.

Project description:The popularity of QR codes for encoding information such as URIs has increased exponentially in step with the technological advances and availability of smartphones, digital tablets, and other electronic devices. We propose using QR codes on specimens in biological collections to facilitate linking vouchers' electronic information with their associated collections. QR codes can efficiently provide such links for connecting collections, photographs, maps, ecosystem notes, citations, and even GenBank sequences. QR codes have numerous advantages over barcodes, including their small size, superior security mechanisms, increased complexity and quantity of information, and low implementation cost. The scope of this paper is to initiate an academic discussion about using QR codes on specimens in biological collections.

Screen Printed Reflective Electrochromic Displays for Paper and Other Opaque Substrates.

Project description:Paper electronics is a viable alternative to traditional electronics, leading to more sustainable electronics. Many challenges still require solutions before paper electronics become mainstream. Here, we present a solution to enable the manufacturing of reflective all-printed organic electrochromic displays (OECDs) on paper substrates; devices that are usually printed on transparent substrates, for example, plastics. In order to operate on opaque paper substrates, an architecture for reversely printed OECDs (rOECDs) is developed. In this architecture, the electrochromic layer is printed as the last functional layer and can therefore be viewed from the print side. Square shaped 1 cm2 rOECDs are successfully screen printed on paper, with a high manufacturing yield exceeding 99%, switching times <3 s and high color contrast (ΔE* > 27). Approximately 60% of the color is retained after 15 min in open-circuit mode. Compared to the conventional screen printed OECD architectures, the rOECDs recover approximately three times faster from storage in a dry environment, which is particularly important in systems where storage in low humidity atmosphere is required, for example, in many biosensing applications. Finally, a more complex rOECD with 9 individually addressable segments is successfully screen printed and demonstrated.

A dataset of 1050-tampered color and grayscale images (CG-1050).

Project description:This paper presents the CG-1050 dataset consisting of 100 original images, 1050 tampered images and their corresponding masks. The dataset is organized into four directories: original images, tampered images, mask images, and a description file. The directory of original images includes 15 color and 85 grayscale images. The directory of tampered images has 1050 images obtained through one of the following type of tampering: copy-move, cut-paste, retouching, and colorizing. The true mask between every pair of original and its tampered image is included in the mask directory (1380 masks). The description file shows the names of the images (i.e., original, tampered and mask), the image description, the photo location, the type of tampering, and the manipulated object in the image. With this dataset, the researchers can train and validate fake image classification methods, either for labelling the tampered image or for forgery pixel-detection.

Screen-Printed Gold Electrodes as Passive Samplers and Voltammetric Platforms for the Determination of Gaseous Elemental Mercury.

Project description:We present a methodology for the determination of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM). It is based on passive sampling of Hg on screen-printed gold electrodes (SPGEs), followed by the measurement of amalgamated mercury by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. We have explored in detail the behavior of the SPGE electrode surface during the sampling process (by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry), the stability of the voltammetric signals, and the inter-electrode reproducibility, and obtained acceptable results. Adsorption of mercury onto the SPGE follows a nearly linear behavior until the sorbent becomes saturated (equilibrium phase) for different mercury concentrations, allowing to select a sampling time of 30 min for calibration. The theoretical behavior of the sampling system was modeled, considering the changes in the diffusive path length between the porous diffusive barrier and the adsorbed surface, L. Finally, we have tested two GEM calibration protocols. The first one is based on the measurement of the mercury stripping peak area, AHg, and the second one is based on the measurement of the mass of mercury, mHg, by standard additions. We found good correlation coefficients between the GEM concentration for both AHg (R2 = 0.9591) and mHg (R2 = 9615) in the range of 5.82 to 59.29 ng dm-3 GEM. Detection limits were 5.32 and 5.22 ng dm-3 for AHg and mHg, respectively. Our results open a new line of electroanalytical strategies for the determination of GEM in atmospheric samples.

A SNP panel and online tool for checking genotype concordance through comparing QR codes.

Project description:In the current precision medicine era, more and more samples get genotyped and sequenced. Both researchers and commercial companies expend significant time and resources to reduce the error rate. However, it has been reported that there is a sample mix-up rate of between 0.1% and 1%, not to mention the possibly higher mix-up rate during the down-stream genetic reporting processes. Even on the low end of this estimate, this translates to a significant number of mislabeled samples, especially over the projected one billion people that will be sequenced within the next decade. Here, we first describe a method to identify a small set of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can uniquely identify a personal genome, which utilizes allele frequencies of five major continental populations reported in the 1000 genomes project and the ExAC Consortium. To make this panel more informative, we added four SNPs that are commonly used to predict ABO blood type, and another two SNPs that are capable of predicting sex. We then implement a web interface (http://qrcme.tech), nicknamed QRC (for QR code based Concordance check), which is capable of extracting the relevant ID SNPs from a raw genetic data, coding its genotype as a quick response (QR) code, and comparing QR codes to report the concordance of underlying genetic datasets. The resulting 80 fingerprinting SNPs represent a significant decrease in complexity and the number of markers used for genetic data labelling and tracking. Our method and web tool is easily accessible to both researchers and the general public who consider the accuracy of complex genetic data as a prerequisite towards precision medicine.

Improving Inpatient Surveys: Web-Based Computer Adaptive Testing Accessed via Mobile Phone QR Codes.

Project description:BackgroundThe National Health Service (NHS) 70-item inpatient questionnaire surveys inpatients on their perceptions of their hospitalization experience. However, it imposes more burden on the patient than other similar surveys. The literature shows that computerized adaptive testing (CAT) based on item response theory can help shorten the item length of a questionnaire without compromising its precision.ObjectiveOur aim was to investigate whether CAT can be (1) efficient with item reduction and (2) used with quick response (QR) codes scanned by mobile phones.MethodsAfter downloading the 2008 inpatient survey data from the Picker Institute Europe website and analyzing the difficulties of this 70-item questionnaire, we used an author-made Excel program using the Rasch partial credit model to simulate 1000 patients' true scores followed by a standard normal distribution. The CAT was compared to two other scenarios of answering all items (AAI) and the randomized selection method (RSM), as we investigated item length (efficiency) and measurement accuracy. The author-made Web-based CAT program for gathering patient feedback was effectively accessed from mobile phones by scanning the QR code.ResultsWe found that the CAT can be more efficient for patients answering questions (ie, fewer items to respond to) than either AAI or RSM without compromising its measurement accuracy. A Web-based CAT inpatient survey accessed by scanning a QR code on a mobile phone was viable for gathering inpatient satisfaction responses.ConclusionsWith advances in technology, patients can now be offered alternatives for providing feedback about hospitalization satisfaction. This Web-based CAT is a possible option in health care settings for reducing the number of survey items, as well as offering an innovative QR code access.

Extending Ripley's K-Function to Quantify Aggregation in 2-D Grayscale Images.

Project description:In this work, we describe the extension of Ripley's K-function to allow for overlapping events at very high event densities. We show that problematic edge effects introduce significant bias to the function at very high densities and small radii, and propose a simple correction method that successfully restores the function's centralization. Using simulations of homogeneous Poisson distributions of events, as well as simulations of event clustering under different conditions, we investigate various aspects of the function, including its shape-dependence and correspondence between true cluster radius and radius at which the K-function is maximized. Furthermore, we validate the utility of the function in quantifying clustering in 2-D grayscale images using three modalities: (i) Simulations of particle clustering; (ii) Experimental co-expression of soluble and diffuse protein at varying ratios; (iii) Quantifying chromatin clustering in the nuclei of wt and crwn1 crwn2 mutant Arabidopsis plant cells, using a previously-published image dataset. Overall, our work shows that Ripley's K-function is a valid abstract statistical measure whose utility extends beyond the quantification of clustering of non-overlapping events. Potential benefits of this work include the quantification of protein and chromatin aggregation in fluorescent microscopic images. Furthermore, this function has the potential to become one of various abstract texture descriptors that are utilized in computer-assisted diagnostics in anatomic pathology and diagnostic radiology.

Optics-free imaging of complex, non-sparse and color QR-codes with deep neural networks.

Project description:We demonstrate optics-free imaging of complex color and monochrome QR-codes using a bare image sensor and trained artificial neural networks (ANNs). The ANN is trained to interpret the raw sensor data for human visualization. The image sensor is placed at a specified gap (1mm, 5mm and 10mm) from the QR code. We studied the robustness of our approach by experimentally testing the output of the ANNs with system perturbations of this gap, and the translational and rotational alignments of the QR code to the image sensor. Our demonstration opens us the possibility of using completely optics-free, non-anthropocentric cameras for application-specific imaging of complex, non-sparse objects.
