Touch control intention recognition is an important direction for the future development of human-machine interactions (HMIs). However, implementation parallel-sensing functional modules generally requires a combination different logical blocks and circuits, which results in regional redundancy, redundant data, low efficiency.

Abstract High‐precise, crosstalk‐free tactile perception offers an intuitive way for informative human‐machine interactions. However, the differentiation and labeling of touch position strength require substantial computational space due to cumbersome post‐processing parallel data. Herein, a programmable robust electronic skin (PR e‐skin) with event‐driven in‐sensor differential perception, solving inherent defects in von Neumann framework is introduced. The PR e‐skin realizes feature...

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common orthopedic condition, and traditional treatment methods often fail to regenerate cartilage effectively. Oxytocin (OXT) neuropeptide that plays crucial role in the skeletal system. Hyaluronic acid (HAMA) hydrogel has emerged as key carrier for repair due its excellent biocompatibility biodegradability. Combining OXT with HAMA implanting it at site of defects can effectively promote regeneration. Cartilage damage results an altered microenvironment,...

With the widespread application of biometric, unprotected biometric data is still at risk serious security and privacy breaches. When large amounts leak, cancelable become a powerfully remedial measure. In this paper, we propose new method to generate stable face templates based on multiple partial Walsh transformations (MPWT) Simhash. Firstly, matrices generated with random external parameters perform projection transformation original real-valued features, ensuring irreversibility...

Cancelable biometrics is a powerful remedy for information leakage caused by the extensive usage of unprotected biometric data. Current measures usually suffer from deteriorated accuracy, which known as security–performance tradeoff. Motivated these concerns, in this article, novel cancelable fingerprint approach, i.e., Indexing-Min–Max (IMM) hashing, proposed to securely transform fixed-length feature vector discrete index hashed code. IMM hashing essentially established upon min–max hash...

Partial face recognition has been a problem of interest for more than decade. Most previous publications on partial assume intra spectral matching. Matching Short Wave Infrared (SWIR), Middle (MWIR) or Near (NIR) images to gallery color is much challenging task. The photometric properties in these four bands are highly distinct. Because the limited space - and also sufficient this biometric paper we present results cross matching applied periocular regions. Equipped with well developed...

Representing fingerprint templates in binary form can provide outstanding merits compared to the conventional minutiae-based recognition system. The existing fixed-length feature extraction methods either suffer from redundant magnitude or lack of template security. In this letter, we present a compact (128 bytes) and cancelable codes generation scheme which enables accurate efficient comparison as well high This representation is also available for advanced encryption schemes (e.g., fuzzy...

Rotating radio transients (RRATs) are sporadically emitting pulsars detectable only through searches for single pulses. While over 100 RRATs have been detected, a small fraction (roughly 20\%) phase-connected timing solutions, which critical determining how they relate to other neutron star populations. Detecting more pulses in order achieve solutions is key understanding their physical nature. Astronomical signals collected by telescopes contain noise from many sources, making the detection...

In recent years, palmprint recognition has made great progress and many methods have been put forward. The extraction of robust orientation features finding efficient matching strategies are two key points for recognition. Traditional coding usually only use a dominant filter response to extract images while not taking into account the other useful responses. Without increasing number filers, this study presents modified Competitive Code more accurately, which makes relation between Besides,...
