    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for fluidic exfoliation of a layered material comprising: a housing of circular cross-section defined by a housing wall; a hollow rotor of circular cross-section having a first end and a second end and a wall positioned therebetween arranged concentrically within the housing, wherein the wall of the hollow rotor defines an inner chamber and the space in between the wall of the hollow rotor and the housing wall defines an outer chamber, and wherein a fluid flow path is provided between the inner chamber and the outer chamber; a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the inner chamber or the outer chamber; and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the other of the inner chamber or the outer chamber; wherein the outer chamber has a width such that on passage of a fluid comprising the layered material from the inlet to the outlet through the outer chamber, a shear rate sufficient to exfoliate the layered material may be applied to the fluid comprising the layered material in the outer chamber by rotation of the hollow rotor.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of estimating a pose of a target object in a three-dimensional scene includes: obtaining image data and associated depth information representing a view of the three-dimensional scene; processing the image data and the associated depth information to generate a volumetric reconstruction for each of a plurality of objects in the three-dimensional scene, including the target object; determining a volumetric grid containing the target object; generating, using the generated volumetric reconstructions, occupancy data indicating portions of the volumetric grid occupied by free space and portions of the volumetric grid occupied by objects other than the target object; and estimating the pose of the target object using the generated occupancy data and pointwise feature data for a plurality of points on a surface of the target object.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a therapeutic combination for use in treating an infection with a pathogen. The therapeutic combination comprises an aminoglycoside antibiotic; and a nucleic acid monoalkylating agent that substitutes a single nucleotide of a nucleic acid with an alkyl group, wherein the therapeutic combination provides an enhanced suppression of a pathogen when compared with an otherwise identical composition lacking said aminoglycoside antibiotic; or wherein the therapeutic combination provides an enhanced suppression of a pathogen when compared with an otherwise identical composition lacking said nucleic acid monoalkylating agent; and kits for performing said method.

    Abstract: A control system for a robotic device comprising a task embedding network to receive one or more demonstrations of a task and to generate a task embedding. The task embedding comprises a representation of the task, and each demonstration comprises one or more observations of a performance of the task. The control system includes a control network to receive the task embedding from the task embedding network and to apply a policy to map a plurality of successive observations of the robotic device to respective control instructions for the robotic device. The policy applied by the control network is modulated across the plurality of successive observations of the robotic device using the task embedding from the task embedding network.
