Stanford inventors from Professor Rhiju Das's lab have developed a method to optimize nucleic acids, including aptamers and messenger RNAs to be more effective in clinical settings.
Researchers in Stanford's Materials Science department have developed a method that makes use of core-shell nanowires for improved power rate and cycling life for the lithium battery.
This software tool takes clinical notes from veterinary electronic medical records and assigns SNOMED-CT VET extension diagnostic codes based on the content written on the notes.
Stanford researchers have discovered a fast, discriminative method for inferring local ancestry and correcting phase errors. This local ancestry inference method is both faster and more accurate than the previous state-of-the-art.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and non-toxic method for more streamlined and precise electron beam radiotherapy using 3D printed electron field shaping devices.
Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
Stanford researchers developed a method to make large phase shifts with little or no power dissipation in integrated optics. The approach uses a directional coupler moved by a MEMS actuator to achieve a path delay, i.e. an effective change in refractive index.
Researchers in Prof. Steven Chu's laboratory have developed a fundamentally new method of acoustic imaging to improve resolution of ultrasound diagnostics.
Local image features have become pervasive in the areas of computer vision and image retrieval and are increasingly finding application in real-time object recognition, 3-D reconstruction, panorama stitching, robotic mapping, and video tracking.
This invention offers a cost-effective solution to streaming video to mobile users. A prototype has been implemented in software, demonstrating its low operational cost based on peer-to-peer technology and its robustness to peer failure.
Background. Image content description is used in a wide range of applications, including web-scale image search and real-time object recognition, but the effectiveness is constrained by a computational bottleneck.
The invention introduces a method for providing compact descriptors for visual search, in which local image features are extracted and a global image signature is formed from these local descriptors. Global features may be much smaller than local features.
To significantly reduce the energy consumed by mobile web browsers, a system was developed for precise measurement of power consumption by browsers of mobile devices when rendering web pages.
