Critical quality issues such as high porosity, cracks, and delamination are common in current selective laser melting (SLM) manufactured components. This study provides a flexible and integrated method for in situ process monitoring and melted state recognition during the SLM process, and it is useful for process optimization to decrease part quality issues. The part qualities are captured by images obtained from an off-axis setup with a near-infrared (NIR) camera.

Imbalanced data with a skewed class distribution are common in many real-world applications. Deep Belief Network (DBN) is a machine learning technique that is effective in classification tasks. However, conventional DBN does not work well for imbalanced data classification because it assumes equal costs for each class.

Article Synopsis
  • Biodegradable polymeric scaffolds are essential in tissue engineering for promoting cell growth and tissue regeneration, but traditional microextrusion methods struggle with low resolution.
  • Electrospinning offers high-resolution scaffold production but creates random filament orientations and small pores that limit cell infiltration.
  • This study introduces an advanced EHD jet printing technique (E-jetting) that successfully fabricates aligned, larger-pore PCL scaffolds, promoting improved cell attachment and extracellular matrix secretion in chondrocytes for better mechanical performance.

Closed-loop insulin delivery systems often implement glucose measurement and insulin administration in the subcutis. However some existing models for glucose-insulin system ignored the dynamics of subcutaneous glucose and subcutaneously-injected insulin. This paper reports a two-compartment model that includes glucose and insulin dynamics in subcutis, and its evaluation using patient data.
