Transparent Fragments Contour Estimation via Visual-Tactile Fusion for Autonomous Reassembly

The contour estimation of transparent fragments is very important for autonomous reassembly, especially in the fields of precision optical instrument repair, cultural relic restoration, and identification of other precious device broken accidents. Different from general intact transparent objects, the contour estimation of transparent fragments face greater challenges due to strict optical properties, irregular shapes and edges. To address this issue, a general transparent fragments contour estimation framework based on visual-tactile fusion is proposed in this paper. First, we construct the transparent fragment dataset named TransFrag27K, which includes a multiscene synthetic data of broken fragments from multiple types of transparent objects, and a scalable synthetic data generation pipeline. Secondly, we propose a visual grasping position detection network named TransFragNet to identify, locate and segment the sampling grasping position. And, we use a two-finger gripper with Gelsight Mini sensors to obtain reconstructed tactile information of the lateral edge of the fragments. By fusing this tactile information with visual cues, a visual-tactile fusion material classifier is proposed. Inspired by the way humans estimate a fragment's contour combining vision and touch, we introduce a general transparent fragment contour estimation framework based on visual-tactile fusion, demonstrates strong performance in real-world validation. Finally, a multi-dimensional similarity metrics based contour matching and reassembly algorithm is proposed, providing a reproducible benchmark for evaluating visual-tactile contour estimation and fragment reassembly. The experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed framework. The dataset and codes are available at https://github.com/Keithllin/Transparent-Fragments-Contour-Estimation.

When Harmless Words Harm: A New Threat to LLM Safety via Conceptual Triggers

Recent research on large language model (LLM) jailbreaks has primarily focused on techniques that bypass safety mechanisms to elicit overtly harmful outputs. However, such efforts often overlook attacks that exploit the model's capacity for abstract generalization, creating a critical blind spot in current alignment strategies. This gap enables adversaries to induce objectionable content by subtly manipulating the implicit social values embedded in model outputs. In this paper, we introduce MICM, a novel, model-agnostic jailbreak method that targets the aggregate value structure reflected in LLM responses. Drawing on conceptual morphology theory, MICM encodes specific configurations of nuanced concepts into a fixed prompt template through a predefined set of phrases. These phrases act as conceptual triggers, steering model outputs toward a specific value stance without triggering conventional safety filters. We evaluate MICM across five advanced LLMs, including GPT-4o, Deepseek-R1, and Qwen3-8B. Experimental results show that MICM consistently outperforms state-of-the-art jailbreak techniques, achieving high success rates with minimal rejection. Our findings reveal a critical vulnerability in commercial LLMs: their safety mechanisms remain susceptible to covert manipulation of underlying value alignment.

Electronic readout of optically excited surface plasmons

Leveraging thermal losses as a useful consequence of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures has gained traction in recent years. This thermalization of hot electrons also induces a resistance change to an applied bias current, which we use to realize an all electronic readout of surface plasmons. The interplay of the plasmonic k-vector dependence and the applied bias current allows us to distinguish between linear polarizations of an incident laser beam for polarimetry and polarization imaging uses. This illustrates the potential applications this technique offers as a fully CMOS compatible plasmonic sensor. Moreover, we demonstrate an electronic signal that depends on the delay between two laser pulses on ultrafast timescales, providing insight into the highly non-equilibrium dynamics of the hot electron distribution inside the metal. Using an electronic approach to surface plasmons broadens access and simplifies existing applications, while simultaneously opening the door to new pathways for developing integrated sensors for processes on ultrafast timescales.

Registered Attribute-Based Encryption with Reliable Outsourced Decryption Based on Blockchain

Decentralized data sovereignty and secure data exchange are regarded as foundational pillars of the new era. Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is a promising solution that enables fine-grained access control in data sharing. Recently, Hohenberger et al. (Eurocrypt 2023) introduced registered ABE (RABE) to eliminate trusted authority and gain decentralization. Users generate their own public and secret keys and then register their keys and attributes with a transparent key curator. However, RABE still suffers from heavy decryption overhead. A natural approach to address this issue is to outsource decryption to a decryption cloud server (DCS). In this work, we propose the first auditable RABE scheme with reliable outsourced decryption (ORABE) based on blockchain. First, we achieve verifiability of transform ciphertext via a verifiable tag mechanism. Then, the exemptibility, which ensures that the DCS escapes false accusations, is guaranteed by zero knowledge fraud proof under the optimistic assumption. Additionally, our system achieves fairness and auditability to protect the interests of all parties through blockchain. Finally, we give concrete security and theoretical analysis and evaluate our scheme on Ethereum to demonstrate feasibility and efficiency.

Attribute-Based Encryption With Payable Outsourced Decryption Using Blockchain and Responsive Zero Knowledge Proof

Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a promising solution for access control in cloud services. However, the heavy decryption overhead hinders its widespread adoption. A general approach to address this issue is to outsource decryption to decryption cloud service(DCS). Existing schemes have utilized various methods to enable users to verify outsourced results; however, they lack an effective mechanism to achieve exemptibility which enables the honest DCS to escape from wrong claims. And it is impractical to assume that the DCS will provide free services. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based payable outsourced decryption ABE scheme that achieves both verifiability and exemptibility without adding redundant information to ABE ciphertext. We use zero-knowledge proof to verify outsourced results on blockchain and introduce an optional single-round challenge game under optimistic assumption to address the high cost of proof generation. Moreover, our system achieves fairness and decentralized outsourcing to protect the interests of all parties. Finally, we implement and evaluate our scheme on Ethereum to demonstrate its feasibility and efficiency, the gas usage in attribute numbers from 5 to 60 is 11$\times$ to 140$\times$ in the happy case and 4$\times$ to 55$\times$ in the challenge case lower than the scheme of Ge et al. (TDSC'23).
