Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a pressure. A pressure gauge includes a first plate having a resonant frequency related to a pressure at the pressure gauge. The first plate is thermally-excited at a selected frequency, and a sensor measures a first power level of a first light having a first wavelength reflected from the first plate and a second power level of a second light having a second wavelength reflected from the first plate. A processor determines a thermal drift in the resonant frequency of the first plate due to the thermal excitation of the first plate from the first power level and the second power level, corrects a pressure measurement determined from the resonant frequency of the first plate for the thermal drift of the resonant frequency, and operates a device based on the pressure measurement.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices for informing a particle event processor of a particle detector of events arising within a sensor period. The systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices involve the generation of a sensor data set detected by a particle event sensor and representing the events arising within the particle detector during the sensor period. The systems, methods, and nonvolatile computer-readable storage devices also involve the compression of the sensor data set with a waveform compression technique to generate a compressed sensor data set, and the transmission of the compressed sensor data set to the particle event processor.

Abstract: A system and method to determine temperature include an optical fiber and at least two pulse laser sources to transmit light pulses with at least two wavelengths into the optical fiber. The system also includes an optical path length modulator to modulate the optical path length of the optical fiber as the light pulses are transmitted into the optical fiber. At least two photodetectors detect backscatter reflected in the optical fiber, and a processor determines the temperature based on the backscatter.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved spatial fitting and training system for a visual prosthesis. The system of the present invention maps projected locations of percepts, where a person perceives a percept from a visual prosthesis to the intended location of the percepts. The projected location may vary over time. These test results can be used to correct a visual prosthesis or spatially map the visual prosthesis.

Abstract: Techniques are described for delivering one or more first resources of a page using a first security level, and delivering one or more second resources of a page using a second, different security level. A page is generated to include elements identifying resources to be presented in the page, and the elements may include security level identifiers indicating a security level to be employed in communicating the corresponding resource. Each security level may be associated with a set of security measures that ensure the integrity or confidentiality of the resource while it is communicated. The use of multiple security levels to communicate multiple resources may provide appropriate security for each resource, reducing latency and overhead in page generation, communication, and rendering.

Abstract: A seat support for use with a vehicle seat and configured to engage a track on the floor of the vehicle. The track including two inwardly-directed lips on opposed sides of a slot, the lips providing first alternating protrusions, a spacing distance apart, and recesses along the length of the track. The seat support having an elongate main body and including an interface portion having second alternating protrusions and recesses. The second protrusions are spaced apart by the same spacing distance as the first protrusions. The seat support includes first and second bracing members and a locking arrangement. The locking arrangement configured to restrain the longitudinal movement of the seat support when engaged.

Abstract: A first component of a network-accessible service is configured to participate in client-server interactions with other components of the service via a default communication channel. The first component has access to an alternate communication channel available only to a subset of components of the service. Using the alternate communication channel, the first component reaches a local workload agreement with a second component, in accordance with which at least some service requests of the first component or the second component are fulfilled using the alternate communication channel.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for recording event times in particle detection scenarios. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media involve the identification of one facility device as a grandmaster clock among at least two facility devices of a facility device set, where the respective facility devices are selected from a facility device type set including a beam monitor; a neutron instrument; a neutron chopper; a nuclear reactor; a particle accelerator; a network router; and a user workstation. The system, method, and computer-readable medium also involve configuring the facility devices to synchronize a clock component with the grandmaster clock; and, upon detecting an event, retrieve from the clock component of the selected facility device an absolute event timestamp that is independent of event times of other events, and store a record of the facility event and the absolute event timestamp in a data store.
