Abstract: A static-neutralization system includes a plurality of alternating current (AC) static bars that is coupled to a common, high-voltage power supply. The power supply includes a transformer that steps up AC mains electricity to deliver high-voltage, AC power to the static bars. A monitoring circuit is provided in the power supply that determines the ionization current of the static bars through isolation of the second harmonic of the total load current. By monitoring the ionization current, the power supply can identify when the ion generation efficiency of the static bars falls beneath a user-defined threshold. The monitoring circuit additionally determines the discharge voltage of the static bars through isolation of the fourth harmonic of the total output voltage. By monitoring the discharge voltage, a voltage-suppression circuit can suspend delivery of power to the static bars upon detecting a full-discharge event, which often results from dielectric breakdown.

Abstract: In a polarimeter, a polarization modulator changes a polarization phase of an output optical pulse with a modulation function that varies in time over the duration of the optical pulse. A static polarization state analyzer, which includes a one or more static polarization component analyzers and detectors, receives the modulated optical pulse after interaction with a target medium and provides time varying intensities of the polarization components of the received pulse. A signal processing module determines a polarization property of the target medium, such as a Mueller matrix, dependent upon time varied intensities over the duration of the received optical pulse. A time-division optical multiplexer may be used to combine the outputs from multiple static polarization component analyzers to form a single time-multiplexed signal comprising a plurality of optical pulses that are separated in time and passed to a single photo-detector.

Abstract: Schematized data roaming is described herein. In one or more implementations, a cloud service includes a cloud data store that is configured to store schematized data comprising user preferences and settings of client devices associated with a user profile. The schematized data includes a schema that is shared across the client devices and globally defined by the cloud service which enables the user preferences and setting to be re-used across multiple devices and device classes, including devices that the user has not previously interacted with before. The schematized data includes attributes, for each schematized data structure, which provide rules for processing or storing the corresponding schematized data structure in the cloud data store. Such attributes may include a conflict resolution policy, an upload policy, or a partition policy.
