  • Patent number: 9971063
    Abstract: Broadband metamaterial apparatus, methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed, as well as exemplary embodiments that provide cloaking, beam steering, and beam focusing. In one exemplary implementation, a broadband interface structure has a front surface region and a back surface region. The broadband interface structure is arranged to provide electromagnetic energy characteristic of an apparent profile of the back surface region substantially different than an actual profile of the back surface region for electromagnetic energy received at the front surface region.

  • Publication number: 20180069318
    Abstract: Complementary metamaterial elements provide an effective permittivity and/or permeability for surface structures and/or waveguide structures. The complementary metamaterial resonant elements may include Babinet complements of “split ring resonator” (SRR) and “electric LC” (ELC) metamaterial elements. In some approaches, the complementary metamaterial elements are embedded in the bounding surfaces of planar waveguides, e.g. to implement waveguide based gradient index lenses for beam steering/focusing devices, antenna array feed structures, etc.

  • Patent number: 9854937
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a plasma non-stick pan and manufacturing method thereof. The plasma non-stick pan comprises a pan body and a non-stick layer applied to the pan body; a plasma layer is provided between the non-stick layer and the pan body, and the plasma layer comprises a MCrALY layer sprayed to the surface of the pan body and a mixture layer sprayed outside of the MCrALY layer, and the mixture layer is composed of MCrALY particles and metal oxide particles. The MCrALY layer has good toughness and strong adhesion, and it is easy to bind with the substrate with high fastness after binding, playing a buffering role and laying a foundation for the subsequent spraying of mixture layer.

  • Patent number: 9336197
    Abstract: A method is implemented at a computer to determine that certain information content is composed or compiled in a specific language selected among two or more similar languages. The computer integrates a first vocabulary list of a first language and a second vocabulary list of a second language into a comprehensive vocabulary list. The integrating includes analyzing the first vocabulary list in view of the second vocabulary list to identify a first vocabulary sub-list that is used in the first language, but not in the second language. The computer then identifies, in the information content, a plurality of expressions that are included in the comprehensive vocabulary list, and a subset of expressions that are included in the first vocabulary sub-list. Upon a determination that a total frequency of occurrence of the subset of expressions meets predetermined occurrence criteria, the computer determines that the information content is composed in the first language.

  • Publication number: 20140214401
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is performed at a device having one or more processors and memory storing programs executed by the one or more processors. The method comprises: selecting a target word in a target sentence; from the target sentence, acquiring a first sequence of words that precede the target word and a second sequence of words that succeed the target word; from a sentence database, searching and acquiring a group of words, each of which separates the first sequence of words from the second sequence of words in a sentence; creating a candidate sentence for each of the candidate words by replacing the target word in the target sentence with each of the candidate words; determining the fittest sentence among the candidate sentences according to a linguistic model; and suggesting the candidate word within the fittest sentence as a correction.
