Abstract: A neural lattice device includes a substrate having formed therein one or more wells and one or more supply ducts. A channel network includes one or more channels configured to establish fluid communication among the at least one well and the at least one supply duct. A reservoir is coupled to the substrate and configured to hold a fluid, and a cover is disposed against an upper surface of the substrate and configured to hermetically seal the wells, the supply ducts and the channel network.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for monitoring neuron growth within a lattice and stopping a spread of an infection. An infection visual recognition module monitors and captures images of the lattice during the neuron growth. The presence of the infection in the neurons within the lattice is identified. The identifying includes performing, via a deep neural network, visual recognition on the captured images to identify the presence of the infection. In response to the identifying, applying a laser to the infected area of the lattice with sufficient energy for stopping the infection. The lattice is flushed to remove chemical byproducts and dead cells resulting from the laser application.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first plurality of slanted features within a first region of a substrate. Two or more magnetic guiding structures are embedded within the first region of the substrate. The first plurality of slanted features is located between the two or more magnetic guiding structures for varying a magnetic field strength around the first plurality of slanted features. A second plurality of slanted features are located within a second region of the substrate. The second region of the substrate is adjacent to the first region of the substrate. The second plurality of slanted features include a second orientation angle that is different from a first orientation angle of the first plurality of slanted features.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a plurality of mandrel structures disposed above and in contact with a substrate. Each of the plurality of mandrel structures extending outwardly at an inclination angle with respect to a surface plane of the substrate that is different from 90 degrees. A template structure for an imprint mask is formed by the plurality of mandrel structures. The semiconductor structure further includes a layer of a conformal dielectric material covering the plurality of mandrel structures for providing stability and uniformity to the plurality of mandrel structures.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for performing in-situ stimulation adjustments of a cochlear implant. The embodiment may include identifying, dynamically, a first set of magnetic coils and a second set of magnetic coils based on dominant frequency components of a received sound. The first set and the second set are implanted within a cochlea of a user having a cochlear implant (CI). The embodiment may include activating, according to a stimulator profile of the user, the first set via an electric current sent to the first set in order to stimulate cochlear neurons. The embodiment may include determining that an in-situ adjustment to the activation of the first set is required based on analysis of a cochlear neuronal response recorded via the second set. The embodiment may include adjusting the stimulator profile.
