In this manuscript, we review the current progress of utilizing ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) for predicting and monitoring neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) outcomes breast cancer patients. We also report recent advance on systems toward portable robust clinical use at multiple sites. The first patient who has been closely monitored before NAC, day 2, 8, end three cycles surgery is given as an example to demonstrate potential US-guided DOT technique.
Memristors are considered as one promising device for implementing future memory and computing systems. However, design of memristor-based circuits faces a key challenge to deal with variations from nonideal fabrication processes the resulting performance uncertainties. Fortunately, this randomness can be exploited in many other applications, such compressive sensing-based data acquisition, which relies on random sensing matrix digital or analog formats. Existing systems usually implemented...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising renewable energy sources for long-term underwater systems. The critical limitations of MFCs include low output voltage and bioturbation interference. A multianode MFC was proposed in our previous work to tolerate problems. Due the unique structure multi-anode MFC, an anode decoupling function is needed power management. Conventional designs based on separate charge pumps will have large overhead performance degradation when anodes impaired. In this...
