Researchers at Stanford have developed a combination therapy to treat neuroblastoma, the most common and deadly solid tumor in childhood. Neuroblastoma derives from neural crest cells that fail to exit the cell cycle and differentiate.
Stanford researchers have developed and validated a quality assurance (QA) phantom that will facilitate the translation of a frameless volumetric modulated arc therapy radiosurgery technique.
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 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. 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.
Researchers in Prof. Steven Chu's laboratory have developed a fundamentally new method of acoustic imaging to improve resolution of ultrasound diagnostics.
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.
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.
A method of tracking an inventory of objects via a mobile communications device includes acquiring an image of one or more of the objects via the mobile communications device, which also collects a location of the mobile communications device while acquiring the image of the o
Mobile devices often connect to the network via wireless channels. In general, the downlink of the wireless channel (e.g., the cellular access network) is limited in throughput.
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.
Stanford researchers in the Dai Lab have developed the first ultra-bright cubic-phase erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (α-ErNPs) with down-shifting luminescence at ~ 1600 nm for in vivo NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) imaging with deep penetration and high clarity.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have designed a real-time screening device system for predicting risk of concussion resulting from head impacts.
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Stanford have developed a small, lightweight optical strain sensor device to sensitively measure forces within the mitral valve apparatus to help determine the appropriate repair technique for patients undergoing valvular surgery for
