An Anti-Obesity Nanotechnology to Modulate Oil Absorption In Vivo
In this study, side effects of these drugs were reduced by using a nanomaterial that can adsorb oil and creative solidification. The high surface area (800-1000 m2/g) of mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) makes it suitable as an option for such materials. Silicon dioxide is also biocompatible, and has been widely utilized in food additives and as an anti-acid agent in gastrointestinal medications. Based on the above characteristics, MSN is attractive as a material for combination therapy with Orlistat. Here, we develop and use MSN to reduce the side effects of lipase inhibitor-based anti-obesity drugs, thereby enhancing the utility and market development of these drugs.

The ring high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system can satisfy the clinically unmet needs through four solutions. (i) The ring transducer can generate ultrasonic beams approximately in parallel to the sternum behind the breast, preventing damage to ribs, muscle or heart. (ii) By tuning the phase of each element in the ring transducer, several intensity patterns are formed. The volumetric ablation of the breast cancer can be performed by switching intensity patterns of the ring transducer and the treatment time is reduced. (iii) The temperature elevation of the skin is minimized since the ring transducer surrounding to the breast has a large acoustic window on the breast surface. (iv) The total number of the element is only 16 and the required channel of the power amplifier is 16 only. The cost and operating complexity are relatively low.

The quality control in agriculture and food industry is limited to traditional biotechnological testing methods. Even though the simplest test paper is used for the full inspection, the high time and financial cost and the product destruction were required. Therefore, only the sample inspection was adopted and then induced the risks of company credibility or social problems.
This technology \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" The Photonics AIoT Technology for Rapid Quality Inspection \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" uses the unique optical characteristics of the object material as features to identify whether the overall optical characteristics of the mixture fit the standards. In addition to different customized hardware and AIoT software, the cost-effective, non-destructive, and rapid quality inspection is revolutionarily achieved for full inspection. Two commercial projects are shown. The long-distance, free-of-consumables, hand-held machine for the rapid inspection of plant viruses [Dr. Lan]. Green light illuminates Phalaenopsis leaves to distinguish normal or disease (CyMV or ORSV affects appearance Virus) plants; The similar one quickly checks the roasting mature degree of meat using dual visible / near-infrared lights. It has been successfully introduced in some leading food factories, and recently started some development issues in industrial/environmental protection/sustainable industries.Their vision is to achieve the cost-effective, non-destructive and rapid quality/environmental inspection on production lines/fields with the revolutionary, economical, and customized hardware and big data database for even small and medium-sized enterprises.

This intelligent breeding management system has three main axes: a global IoT system, an intelligent aquatic biology analysis system, and an AI automatic feeding system.
The global IoT system obtains complete data of the fish environment, provides AI module big data calculation to make it practical, and at the same time cooperates with automation technology to reduce manpower.
The intelligent aquatic biology analysis system uses image data and builds an AI recognition module for abnormal fish behavior. If the fish has abnormal behavior, it can be prevented early to increase the survival rate of the fish; and the length and weight of the fish are measured through the image to observe the fish growth status.
The AI automatic feeding system uses AI to determine whether to continue feeding fish, which can effectively reduce feed waste and reduce breeding costs.
