Such users must employ outsourcing servers. Third, a verification process is needed to prove that the results computed on the outsourcing server are properly computed. This paper focuses on the IoMT environment for a study of a CP-ABE-based medical data sharing system with key abuse prevention and verifiable outsourcing in a cloud environment. The proposed scheme can protect the privacy of user data stored in a cloud environment in the IoMT field, and if there is a problem with the secret key delegated by the user, it can trace a user who first delegated the key. This can prevent the key abuse problem. In addition, this scheme reduces the user's burden when decoding ciphertext and calculates accurate results through a server that supports constant-sized ciphertext output and verifiable outsourcing technology. The goal of this paper is to propose a system that enables patients and medical staff to share medical data safely and efficiently in an IoMT environment.This paper describes the design and the performance of simultaneous, multifrequency impedance measurement system for four inductive-loop (IL) sensors which have been developed for vehicle parameters measurement based on vehicle magnetic profile (VMP) analysis. Simultaneous impedance measurement on several excitation frequencies increases the VMP measurement reliability because typical electromagnetic interferences (EMI) are narrowband, and should not simultaneously affect, in the same way, all measurement bands that are spread in the frequency, i.e., it is expected that at least one measurement band is disturbance-free. The system consists of two standard and two slim IL sensors, specially designed and installed, the analogue front-end, and an industrial computer with digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital converters accessed via field-programmable gate array (FPGA). read more The impedance of the IL sensors is obtained by vector measurement of voltages from auto-balancing bridge (ABB) front-end. Complex voltages are demodulated from excitation frequencies with FIR filters designed with the flat-top windows. The system is capable of delivering VMPs in real-time mode, and also storing voltages for off-line postprocessing and analysis. Field distributions and sensitivities of slim and standard IL sensors are also discussed. Field test confirmed assumed increased reliability of VMP measurement for proposed simultaneous multifrequency operational mode.The Position and Orientation System (POS) is the core device of high-resolution aerial remote sensing systems, which can obtain the real-time object position and collect target attitude information. The goal of exceeding 0.015°/0.003° of its real-time heading/attitude measurement accuracy is unlikely to be achieved without gravity disturbance compensation. In this paper, a high-precision gravity data architecture for gravity disturbance compensation technology is proposed, and a gravity database with accuracy better than 1 mGal is constructed in the test area. Based on the "Block-Time Variation" Markov Model (B-TV-MM), a gravity disturbance compensation device is developed. The gravity disturbance compensation technology is applied to POS products for the first time, and is applied in the field of aerial remote sensing. Flight test results show that the heading accuracy and attitude accuracy of POS products are improved by at least 6% and 16%, respectively. The device can be used for the gravity disturbance compensation of various inertial technology products.In ultrasound B-mode imaging, speckle noises decrease the accuracy of estimation of tissue echogenicity of imaged targets from the amplitude of the echo signals. In addition, since the granular size of the speckle pattern is affected by the point spread function (PSF) of the imaging system, the resolution of B-mode image remains limited, and the boundaries of tissue structures often become blurred. This study proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to remove speckle noises together with improvement of image spatial resolution to reconstruct ultrasound tissue echogenicity map. The CNN model is trained using in silico simulation dataset and tested with experimentally acquired images. Results indicate that the proposed CNN method can effectively eliminate the speckle noises in the background of the B-mode images while retaining the contours and edges of the tissue structures. The contrast and the contrast-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed echogenicity map increased from 0.22/2.72 to 0.33/44.14, and the lateral and axial resolutions also improved from 5.9/2.4 to 2.9/2.0, respectively. Compared with other post-processing filtering methods, the proposed CNN method provides better approximation to the original tissue echogenicity by completely removing speckle noises and improving the image resolution together with the capability for real-time implementation.The subcutaneous transplantation of microencapsulated islets has been extensively studied as a therapeutic approach for type I diabetes. However, due to the lower vascular density and strong inflammatory response in the subcutaneous area, there have been few reports of successfully normalized blood glucose levels. To address this issue, we developed mosaic-like aggregates comprised of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and recombinant peptide pieces called MSC CellSaics, which provide a continuous release of angiogenic factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Our previous report revealed that the diabetes of immunodeficient diabetic model mice was reversed by the subcutaneous co-transplantation of the MSC CellSaics and rat islets. In this study, we focused on the development of immune-isolating microcapsules to co-encapsulate the MSC CellSaics and rat islets, and their therapeutic efficiency via subcutaneous transplantation into immunocompetent diabetic model mice. As blood glucose level was monitored for 28 days following transplantation, the normalization rate of the new immuno-isolating microcapsules was confirmed to be significantly higher than those of the microcapsules without the MSC CellSaics, and the MSC CellSaics transplanted outside the microcapsules (p less then 0.01). Furthermore, the number of islets required for the treatment was reduced. In the stained sections, a larger number/area of blood vessels was observed around the new immuno-isolating microcapsules, which suggests that angiogenic factors secreted by the MSC CellSaics through the microcapsules function locally for their enhanced efficacy.
