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.
Stanford has patented a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) method, computer program, and apparatus that grant the ability to outsource data processing without giving away access to the data.
Stanford researchers have developed a streamlined method for simultaneously estimating a broad range of hydrocarbon fuel physical and chemical properties for a wide range of fuels.
Stanford researchers in Professor Rhiju Das's lab have devised a method called RNAMake to optimize nucleic acids, such as aptamers and messenger RNAs, and enhance their effectiveness for clinical settings.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
