MechResCon2023: Real-time Hologram Rendering from Interferometers is Made Possible by BitFlow Frame Grabber

-

 Around 70 years after the invention of holographic imaging, this original wave-front reconstruction method has been enhanced due to improvements in image sensors and CPU power. Phase contrast imaging for samples in biological and biomedical studies, forensic identification, and MEMS vibration analysis, among other applications, has proven to be a practical method using the original optical reconstruction process, which is now carried out digitally and is known as Digital Holography Microscopy (DHM).

DHM typically calls for substantial post-processing computations and offline wave propagation, which can take a lot of time and be expensive. However, DHM may now be carried out at large input and output throughputs using ordinary components thanks to a novel system1 created at Institut Langevin, an academic research institute in Paris.

The Institut Langevin system makes use of the image capabilities of an Adimec Quartz 2MP CoaXPress camera and a Bitflow Cyton-CXP CoaXPress frame grabber. Rendering and processing are carried out using an Nvidia GTX Titan Xp card using Cuda 9. In addition to real-time hologram generation from interferograms using angular spectrum propagation and short-time Fourier transform, Holovibes, a flexible computational software for producing digital holograms, also offers buffered picture acquisition at high throughput.

At the Institut Langevin, real-time image rendering was experimentally shown using Mach-Zehnder interferometers and single-frequency lasers with wavelengths of 840, 532, and 780 nm. Images depicted the blood flow in mice's brains. Complex-valued holograms were created from an input stream of 1024 x 1024 (16-bit/pixel) digitised interferograms, which were captured by the BitFlow Cyton CXP at a throughput of 1.8 GB/sec. From these holograms, spectral components at about 100 Hz and 450 Hz were presented. The front and posterior segments of a human eye were computed and seen in real-time using the same setup using an input stream of 2000 frames per second (2GB/sec), 16-bit, 1024 by 512 pixel interferograms. Principal component analysis was used to demodulate the temporal signal of 32 consecutive hologram stacks at a rate of 60 hertz. Both tests were a resounding success.

This method can aid supervised machine learning in addition to offering real-time hologram rendering for various measurements and monitoring. It can efficiently produce enormous datasets of holographic reconstructions from digital interferograms, which might be used to train deep neural networks.

In his January 2018 conference paper, "Ultrahigh-throughput rendering of digital holograms," Michael Atlan of the Institut Langevin, French National Center for Scientific Research

AeroResCon2023: SWISS claims that higher productivity contributed to its first-half profit.

-
Swiss International Air Lines reported today that the first half of 2022 saw a return to profitability. The airline is sure that its 2022 full-year statistics will show a profit after operating profit of CHF 67 million ($70 million) in the first half. SWISS International Air Lines (SWISS) is a member of Star Alliance , the largest airline alliance in the world, and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group . It runs to around 123 destinations throughout 51 nations, offering services along more than 140 routes. Zurich Kloten Airport (ZRH) is the primary hub for SWISS, which, according to ch-aviation.com, has a fleet of 105 aircraft, including 15 wet-leased Embraer ERJ 190s. The fleet consists entirely of Airbus aircraft, including five A340-300s that are 19 years old, in addition to 12 Boeing B777-300ERs . Thirty Airbus A220s, thirteen A320s, six A320neos, eight A321s, two A321neos, and fourteen A330-300s make up the remaining fleet. The main causes of the turnaround were an increase in pa...

NanoResCon2023: Researchers have made great strides in utilising bacteria to create artificial cells that function like real cells.

-
 Researchers have used bacteria to create sophisticated synthetic cells that imitate the activity of genuine cells. The study, led by the University of Bristol and published today in Nature, advances the use of artificial cells, or protocells, to more faithfully mimic the intricate makeup, structure, and function of living cells. Establishing true-to-life functioning in protocells is an international great challenge involving several disciplines, from beginning of life research to bottom-up synthetic biology and bioengineering. Due to previous failures in modelling protocells using microcapsules , the study team turned to bacteria to construct sophisticated synthetic cells utilising a living material assembly method. Professor Stephen Mann from the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol, the Max Planck Bristol Centre for Minimal Biology, and colleagues Drs. Can Xu, Nicolas Martin (currently at the University of Bordeaux), and Mei Li from the Bristol Centre for Protol...

InfraCivilCon2023: How to Make the Most of Strategic Green Spaces' Cooling Effects

-
One of the best and most accessible strategies to lessen the effects of rising temperatures in urban contexts is to use urban green spaces. Cities all across the world experience more frequent and severe heat waves, putting the lives of their residents at danger. Urban heat islands are created when natural land cover is replaced with surfaces that absorb and hold heat, such as pavements and buildings, and many cities are exploring methods to lessen their effects. In comparison to the surroundings, this causes the temperature to rise by a number of degrees. Cities have their own unique microclimate that is influenced by this phenomenon as well as a number of frequently disregarded elements. All elements must be taken into account for a climate plan to be effective. The sociological makeup of the city is highly connected with heat risk levels. Less access to green spaces puts communities with historically underprivileged and less affluent sectors at higher risk. The impact on the underpr...
