Development of Low-Fidelity Virtual Replicas of Products for Usability Testing
Designers perform early-stage formative usability tests with low-fidelity prototypes to improve the design of new products. This low-tech prototype style reduces the manufacturing resources but limits the functions that can be assessed.

A jointed feature fusion framework for photoacoustic image reconstruction
The standard reconstruction of Photoacoustic (PA) computed tomography (PACT) image could cause the artifacts due to interferences or ill-posed setup. Recently, deep learning has been used to reconstruct the PA image with ill-posed conditions.

Deep learning enabled real-time photoacoustic tomography system via single data acquisition channel
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array

In this paper we investigate the use of action systems with differential actions in the specification of hybrid systems. As the main contribution we generalize the definition of a differential action, allowing the use of arbitrary relations over model variables and their time derivatives in modelling continuous-time dynamics.
