Design of a multidimensional information perception panoramic imaging system without a central blind area and front lens group.

This study presents a triple-channel panoramic imaging system without a central blind area based on bandpass filter and polarization technology, which can achieve the acquisition of dual-band and dual-polarization information. Compared to other multi-channel panoramic imaging systems without a central blind area, this design eliminates the front lens group, resulting in a significant reduction in assembly complexity and achieving overall aesthetic harmony of the product. The field of view (FOV) of the main, side, and front channels are 360×(60-96), 360×(22-60), and 360×(0-13), respectively.

Design of a dual-channel panoramic annular lens for imaging and time-of-flight based on freeform surface prisms.

We propose a dual-channel panoramic annular lens (PAL) utilizing freeform surface prisms, enabling visible light imaging and time-of-flight (TOF) dot matrix detection through a single lens, which solves the problems of relative position calibration and time consistency between TOF and the imaging lens. Based on freeform surface prisms, inspired by off-axis three mirror lenses and AR prisms, we replaced the relay lens group of PAL with two freeform surface prisms to achieve dual channel PAL with a large field of view (FoV) and small distortion. The imaging and TOF channels have the same FoV of 360° × (40° - 100°).

Precise genetic control of ATOH1 enhances maturation of regenerated hair cells in the mature mouse utricle.

Vestibular hair cells are mechanoreceptors critical for detecting head position and motion. In mammals, hair cell loss causes vestibular dysfunction as spontaneous regeneration is nearly absent. Constitutive expression of exogenous ATOH1, a hair cell transcription factor, increases hair cell regeneration, however, these cells fail to fully mature.
