Abstract: Embodiments generate real-time industrial process guidance. One such embodiment receives, in memory of a processor, an operator question relating to a user-specified process variable of a model predictive control (MPC) controller of an industrial process. Next, a real-time simulation is performed of operational scenario(s) of the industrial process using a steady-state optimization problem of the MPC controller to determine operational characteristics of the industrial process in each of the operational scenario(s). Performing the real-time simulation includes, for each operational scenario, modifying a constraint variable of the steady-state optimization problem and, using the modified constraint variable, determining an updated value of the user-specified process variable. The determined operational characteristics of the industrial process include the determined updated value of the user-specified process variable.

The head-mounted display device further includes a first electronic controller configured to (i) determine a first position of the first display, (ii) receive information identifying a second position of the first display, and (iii) generate one or more electrical signals that cause the first stepper motor to move the first display from the first position to the second position along the first axis.

Abstract: A brain computer interface for interfacing with a brain of a subject is provided. The brain computer interface includes one or more shanks. Each shank includes an array of pixels and output traces. Each pixel includes an electrode and a front-end circuit positioned at a site of the electrode. The front-end circuit is configured to reduce noise in signals recorded by the electrode, and further configured to multiplex the signals. A density of power consumption of the each pixel is equal to or less than 1 ?W per area of 50 ?m by 50 ?m. The output traces are electrically coupled with the array of pixels. A number of output traces is less than a number of pixels in the array due to multiplexing. The one or more shanks are configured to be inserted on and/or into a brain of a subject.

Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.

The copolymers described may be random copolymers, block copolymers or a mixture of random and block copolymer configurations. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides novel methods for synthesizing the above polymers and for conjugating to molecules such as targeting, diagnostic and therapeutic agents.

Abstract: Room temperature processing has successfully resulted in highly conductive coatings formed from silver nanowires with a cellulose binder. The conductive coatings can be formed with silver salts to fuse the silver nanowires into a unitary fused metal nanostructured network. Even without added silver salts, low sheet resistance values can be obtained. Room temperature processing can be effective over a range of transmittance values from highly transparent to modestly transparent to translucent to opaque. The ability to form the transparent coatings opens the processing to a wide range of substrates that are not processible with higher process temperatures.

In another embodiment, the wireless data communication module can be used to retrieve data from the onboard memory module and transmit them to distant electronic devices via the wireless network data transmission system and Internet.

Abstract: A method for repairing defective memory cells includes receiving an access command having an access address and an access operation. The access address includes a row address and a column address. The method further includes determining whether the row address and the column address are the same as a pre-recorded row address and column address of a defective memory cell. If the row and column addresses of the access address are the same as the respective row and column addresses of the defective memory cell, the method includes replacing the defective memory cell with a redundant memory cell, and executing the access operation using the redundant memory cell.
