Retinal Prosthesis with a New Configuration

Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, and cortical stimulation, and many related purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. By applying the right amount of heat to a completed array, a curve can be induced. With a thermoplastic polymer it may be further advantageous to repeatedly heat the flexible circuit in multiple molds, each with a decreasing radius. Further, it is advantageous to add material along the edges. It is further advantageous to provide a fold or twist in the flexible circuit array. Additional material may be added inside and outside the fold to promote a good seal with tissue.

KINECT depth map cavity filling method based on local restriction reconstruction

The invention discloses a KINECT depth map cavity filling method based on local restriction reconstruction. The KINECT depth map cavity filling method based on the local restriction reconstruction comprises the steps of taking a cavity pixel in a depth map as a center to construct a search window, obtaining all non-cavity pixels in the search window, obtaining corresponding position pixels of the cavity pixel and the non-cavity pixels in a texture map, taking the corresponding position pixels as centers to build blocks, taking a bock where the corresponding position pixel of the cavity pixel is located as a central block, taking blocks where the corresponding position pixels of the non-cavity pixels as neighborhood blocks, constructing a cost function based on a local restriction reconstruction standard and obtaining the neighborhood blocks to be used for expressing the optimal weight vector of the central block, achieving a weighted sum pixel value of all the non-cavity pixels in the search window based on the optimal weight vector of the neighborhood blocks to obtain a target pixel value, and taking the target pixel value as the pixel value of the cavity pixel in the depth map. The KINECT depth map cavity filling method based on the local restriction reconstruction can accurately fill up cavities in an edge area and a smooth area of the depth map.

Femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate and imaging device and method based on optical Kerr gate

The invention provides a femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate and an imaging device and method based on the optical Kerr gate. A target to be detected, the femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate and a CCD are sequentially arranged on a detection light path of the imaging device, wherein the femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate is composed of a polarizer, an optical Kerr medium and an analyzer, and the heterodyne angle between the polarization direction of the analyzer and the polarization perpendicular direction of a detection pulse ranges from 3 degrees to 5 degrees. An optical delay line and a half wave plate are sequentially arranged on a switch light path, and a switching pulse and the detection pulse coincide inside the Kerr medium. The imaging method includes the steps of dividing a femtosecond pulse into two paths, enabling the detection pulse to enter a sample to be detected and enter the femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate after being reflected and transmitted, opening the femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate through the switching pulse, instantly gating components carrying sample morphology information in the detection pulse, enabling the gated detection pulse to enter the CCD, and obtaining a morphology image of the sample to be detected, wherein the morphology image has ultrahigh time resolution. The femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate and the imaging device and method have the advantages of being simple in light path and extremely short in gating time, enabling the imaging space resolution to be close to the system diffraction limit, and the like.
