Abstract: A compact interposer with shields and multiple electrical contacts held in a housing. Each shield is compact, being disposed in a vertical plane perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces of the housing and between two adjacent electrical contacts respectively on opposing sides of the shield. The shield includes a plurality of shield contacts extending above the top surface and/or below the bottom surface of the housing. During operation, the shield is configured to reduce crosstalk between high-speed signals carried in the electrical contacts on opposing sides of the shield. Optionally, when in a compressed state, the shield contact may be configured to contact the shield body to shunt a distal end of the shield contact. The shield body and shield contacts may be stamped from the same sheet of metal. The shield contacts may have properties that provide reliable operation of the interposer.

Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods of using modulators of COT (cancer Osaka thyroid) for treating, stabilizing, or lessening the severity or progression of liver disease, in particular, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Abstract: A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device, detector for a PET device and method of performing PET. The detector includes a scintillator and a photodetector. The scintillator includes a crystal defining a receiving axis and having a receiving face for receiving a gamma ray. A dopant concentration of the crystal varies along the receiving axis with a distance from the receiving face. The photodetector is configured to generate an impulse response in response to an interaction between the gamma ray and the crystal. A decay profile of the impulse response is related to a local dopant concentration of the crystal at the location of the interaction and the distance of the interaction from the receiving face.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a battery module that includes a housing having a stack of battery cells. Each battery cell of the stack of battery cells includes a terminal end having at least one cell terminal and a face oriented transverse to the terminal end. The battery module also includes adhesive tape disposed between a first face of a first battery cell of the stack of battery cells and a second face of a second battery cell of the stack of battery cells, and where the adhesive tape fixedly couples the first battery cell to the second battery cell, and where a first terminal end of the first battery cell is substantially aligned with a second terminal end of the second battery cell.

Abstract: A method for resource planning in a business organization may include receiving project data describing a project assigned to a group in the business organization. The project data may include a time period in which the project should be completed by the group, a resource availability value for the group during the time period, and a resource requirement value for the group during the time period. The method may also include a determining a resource disparity value indicative of disparity between the resource availability value and the resource requirement value for the group in the time period. The method may further include displaying the resource disparity value for the group in the time period.
