Abstract Native tissues exhibit hierarchical structures of anisotropically arranged extracellular matrix that dynamically regulate stem cells and tissue function. However, neither multiscale nano‐anisotropy nor dynamic anisotropy control have been reported. In this study, spherical or rod‐shaped gold small‐nanomaterials (at integrin receptor‐scale; tens nanometers) are coupled to the surface magnetic large‐nanomaterials focal adhesion complex‐scale; hundreds nanometers), with both showing...
This paper presents a power-saving readout scheme for CMOS image sensors (CISs) that utilizes the properties. The proposed delta-readout (A-readout) reads signal difference between two pixels located next to each other (Apixel) by utilizing most significant bits (MSBs) information of previous pixel. By effectively reducing dynamic range signal, compensated A-window checking, A-readout can reduce effective number decision cycles in successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital...
