Deep Nanometry reveals hidden nanoparticles

Researchers have developed Deep Nanometry, an analytical technique combining advanced optical equipment with a noise removal algorithm based on unsupervised deep learning. Deep Nanometry can analyze nanoparticles in medical samples at high speed, making it possible to accurately detect even trace amounts of rare particles. This has proven its potential for detecting extracellular vesicles indicating early signs of colon cancer, and it is hoped that it can be applied to other medical and industrial fields.

Revolutionizing dynamic facial projection mapping: A leap forward in augmented reality

Dynamic facial projection mapping (DFPM) has reached new heights in speed and accuracy, with the development of a state-of-the-art system with groundbreaking innovations. The first breakthrough involved a hybrid detection technique combining different methods to detect facial landmarks in just 0.107 milliseconds. The researchers also proposed a way to simulate high-frame-rate video annotations to train their models and introduced a lens-shift co-axial projector-camera setup to reduce alignment errors, enabling smoother and more immersive projections.

Tool update: sigs.py – added check mode, (Fri, Feb 21st)

Over the years, I've written a number of scripts to make my life easier. One of those tools was sigs.py (which was a rewrite of an old perl script sigs.pl) to hash files. I wanted something portable that could potentially be a drop-in replacement for things like md5sum, sha1sum, etc. (and can do hashes like sha512, sha3-224, and sha3-384). I've even had cases where my python script ran faster than those Linux tools. Anyway, in some recent cases I've been working on, I've been getting manifests with hashes and to validate that I got good copies, I wanted to verify the hashes. Sometimes I was getting md5s, sometimes, sha1s, sometimes sha256s. On Linux, md5sum, sha1sum, sha256sum, etc. have the -c switch to do the checking, but my script did not have that, so I took an hour over a weekend recently and I added that capability. The script determines which hash to use based on the length of the hash it finds in the text file, so it can check any of the hashes it can calculate.
