Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.

Multilevel Embedding and Dropout for Improved 3D Object Detection in Autonomous Driving Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A plug‐in framework for RoI‐based 3D object detectors exploits previously untapped multi‐level information within RoI features. Its novel multi‐level embedding and dropout strategy enables the detection head to generate predictions at different feature levels.
