Finding a few tumor cells hidden among billions of blood cells is one of the biggest challenges in liquid biopsy.
A chip that separates tumor cells by size Most current approaches for isolating CTCs rely on molecular markers found on tumor-cell surfaces.
The chip uses these differences to guide tumor cells and blood cells into separate flow paths, allowing tumor cells to be collected without relying on specific surface markers.
In artificial blood samples containing MCF-7 breast cancer cells and white blood cells, tumor cells were enriched at the central outlet, while most blood cells were directed toward the side outlets.
AI helps identify tumor cells without fluorescent staining Separating tumor cells is only half of the challenge.

Flock has repeatedly said its automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems do not perform facial recognition.
Its Trust Center says Flock cameras do not use facial recognition and that searches are based on vehicle characteristics rather than identity.
A separate Flock data privacy page lists biometric and facial recognition data among information its ALPR systems do not collect.
Facial recognition would occur in its system after it obtained data from Flock, rather than inside Flock’s cameras or through Flock’s own ALPR recognition process.
The proposal comes as automatic license plate readers and facial recognition draw new scrutiny on Capitol Hill.

Nonprofit science and technology organization Noblis has been awarded a U.S. patent for an electronic access control system that continuously verifies both user identity and environmental conditions using biometric sensing, environmental monitoring and machine learning.
Noblis says the resulting dynamic liveness score can help detect spoofing attempts, including photographs and deepfakes, while continuously checking whether an authorized user remains present in a secure environment.
“Traditional authentication happens once, at login,” says Erica Maciejewski, the Noblis scientist who invented the system.
The combination of biometric signals with environmental sensors gives a machine-learning model more data to analyze.
Mile Corrigan, Noblis’ CEO, says, “We know our customers operate in environments where a single login isn’t enough assurance.

Key takeaways: VIDIZMO proposed linking Flock data with facial recognition to help police search by face, vehicle, or object.
Flock Security says it does not use facial recognition and has no plans to add it.
However, this doesn’t stop other companies from suggesting services that could combine Flock data with facial recognition technology.
No response to the proposal The Johnson City PD told 404 Media that it didn’t respond to the proposal.
Because of this, Flock should already include facial recognition capability with privacy, security, and freedom in mind, he suggested.

A sales email obtained through a public-records request by DeFlock Johnson City and reported by 404 Media exposes a specific gap.
The Sales Pitch That Revealed the Gap A May email to a Tennessee deputy police chief shows how third-party vendors can market capabilities that the original platform declines to offer.
VIDIZMO CEO Nadeem Khan confirmed to 404 Media that the specific Flock-to-VIDIZMO export tool described in the company’s marketing has not been built.
Khan described this to 404 Media as an agency-controlled import, characterizing VIDIZMO as a downstream processor rather than a Flock partner.
Privacy expert Chris Gilliard, quoted by 404 Media, called the promotion of race, age, and gender filtering “appalling.”

As Flock continues to be the center of a nationwide conversation about automatic license plate reading cameras, the company has said that it doesn’t, and won’t, do facial recognition: “We will not add facial recognition to our devices,” Flock CEO Garrett Langley said in a recent video.
But other, third-party companies are telling cops that they are willing to add facial recognition to data gathered by Flock cameras in order to “close that gap.”
VIDIZMO is a several decades-old video analysis and database company that has started offering facial recognition technology to cops within the last six months.
But that Flock data does not connect automatically to your Axon evidence system,” the salesperson wrote.
The fact that a third-party company is advertising that it wants to do facial recognition on Flock data highlights a common trend in the surveillance space.

And with the growing array of chemotherapy drugs available, gaining early insight into how individual tumors respond to specific drugs would help improve treatment.
Harnessing the tools of laser light, the Doppler effect and AI, Purdue University scientist David Nolte is building an imaging system to do just that.
He envisions a wide variety of uses for his “biodynamic imaging” system in healthcare and life sciences.
“All living systems are basically little machines, and cancer drugs affect how those machines run.
“We can use motion as a form of image contrast in light imaging.

All-optical computing, with its inherent advantages of low power consumption, fast processing speed, high throughput, and parallel computation capability, has emerged as a promising approach.
Integrating high-resolution imaging with on-demand, arbitrary-order differentiation on a robust, low-size, weight, and power platform is critical for the advancement of all-optical computing systems, yet remains an outstanding challenge that warrants further investigation.
The team implemented two types of metasurface differentiators, each capable of performing 0th/1st-order and 2nd/3rd-order spin-multiplexed differentiation.
"This work provides a practical pathway toward ultracompact all‑optical computing devices," says Professor Cheng Zhang.
Potential applications span real‑time biological imaging, material inspection, machine vision, and other fields that require fast, parallel processing of optical information.

A live facial recognition (LFR) trial at major railway stations in the UK scanned more than half a million faces over six months but generated only one alert, which proved to be an incorrect match, according to figures reported on 29 September.
Live facial recognition works by capturing images of people passing through a camera’s field of view and comparing them with facial images contained on a predetermined police watchlist.
The trial comes amid broader expansion of police use of facial recognition in the UK.
The false alert also illustrates the importance of accuracy and human oversight when facial recognition systems produce potential matches.
The BTP trial therefore provides practical evidence for the broader policy debate over the effectiveness, necessity, proportionality and oversight of LFR deployments in public spaces.

A six-month trial of live facial recognition (LFR) technology in London’s railway stations that cost more than £320,000 and almost 100 hours of police officers’ time led to one false match against a watchlist of suspects and no arrests.
Last month BTP announced it was extending the trial for a further four months and expanding the deployments to include London Underground stations.
Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, has since confirmed the technology will be used on the newly pedestrianised Oxford Street.
A recent report from parliament’s joint committee on human rights, which called on the government to introduce a law to address the threat of artificial intelligence to human rights, identified the rollout of live facial recognition technology as a “particularly clear example of risk”.
Bell Ribeiro-Addy, the Labour MP for Clapham and Brixton Hill, said: “Live facial recognition technologies are a serious invasion of our privacy.

Experts on police technology told Fox News Digital that the case is among more than a dozen known instances involving alleged police mishandling of facial recognition technology.
Officials then used a photo from a fraudulent ID card presented by the suspect, rather than surveillance footage, to conduct facial recognition searches using Clearview AI, prosecutors alleged.
A West Fargo police captain reportedly characterized AI facial recognition as "close to a last-ditch effort" in police investigations, the lawsuit said.
"We've been seeing these kinds of wrongful arrests happening for at least five or six years now out of this kind of AI technology.
"We've seen cases where police intentionally avoid making any notes about their use of facial recognition technology or other AI."

Android has three tiers of biometric security.
The requirements are as follows: Class 1 (formerly Convenience): For users who want a quick way to unlock their device.
Requires primary authentication every 24 hours, after four hours idle, or after three failed biometric unlock attempts.
Class 2 (formerly Weak): This middle-ground between convenience and security has the same requirements as Class 1, but with a SAR of under 20%.
Finally, use Android's built-in security features such as Lockdown mode, which disables biometrics, prevents USB connections, and temporarily blocks notifications.
