Abstract: An embedded magnetic component device includes a magnetic core located in a cavity extending into an insulating substrate. The cavity and magnetic core are coved with a cover layer. Through holes extend through the cover layer and the insulating substrate, and are plated to define conductive vias. Metallic traces are provided at exterior surfaces of the cover layer and the insulating substrate to define upper and lower winding layers. The metallic traces and conductive vias define the respective primary and secondary side windings for an embedded transformer. At least a first isolation barrier is provided on the cover layer, and at least a third insulating layer is provided on the substrate. The second and third insulating layers provide additional insulation for the device, and define and function as a circuit board for surface mounted power electronics.

Abstract: Software systems and methods convert algorithms and software codes into time affecting linear pathways (TALPs) via decomposition and convert paired Input/Output (I/O) datasets into TALPs via Value Complexity polynomials. Generated TALPs can be enhanced through merging with other TALPs. TALPs can be grouped by matching the outputs of the TALP-associated prediction polynomials with some set of given criteria into families and cross-families that are useful in a new type of software optimization that allows for output values of grouped TALPs to be modeled, pooled, discretized and optimized to enhance goals or meet user goals.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing personalized learning intervention in an online learning environment. As described herein, personalized learning intervention can include performing an online diagnostic of a student, setting a set of learning targets for the student based on results of performing the online diagnostic, and guiding progress along a learning path based on the set of learning targets. The learning path can be a sequence of learning points, each learning point relating to a skill to be learned. Reinforcement learning can be performed with the student based on results of guiding the progress along the learning path.

Abstract: A pixelated-LED chip includes an active layer with active layer portions, segregated by streets, that are configured to illuminate different light-transmissive substrate portions to form pixels. A light extraction surface of each substrate portion includes protruding features and light extraction surface recesses that may be formed by sawing. Underfill material may be provided between a pixelated-LED chip and a mounting surface, as well as between pixels and between anodes and cathodes thereof. Certain implementations provide light extraction surface recesses that are non-parallel to each street defined through the active layer. Certain implementations provide light extraction surface recesses that are non-aligned with (e.g., non-parallel to) anode-cathode boundaries of each anode-cathode pair. Such arrangements reduce a likelihood of cracking in portions of a pixelated-LED chip. Methods for fabricating pixelated-LED chips are also provided.

Abstract: The disclosed flexible facial interface assemblies for head-mounted display systems may include a rigid support frame element and a flexible facial interface frame element. The rigid support frame element may be shaped and configured to physically support a display of a head-mounted display system in front of a user's eyes when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. The flexible facial interface frame element may be configured to flex to conform to the user's facial features when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. An outer periphery of the flexible facial interface frame element may be independently movable relative to an outer periphery of the rigid support frame element. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: At least one array of LEDs (e.g., in a flip chip configuration) is supported by a substrate having a light extraction surface overlaid with at least one lumiphoric material. Light segregation elements registered with gaps between LEDs are configured to reduce interaction between emissions of different LEDs and/or lumiphoric material regions to reduce scattering and/or optical crosstalk, thereby preserving pixel-like resolution of the resulting emissions. Light segregation elements may be formed by mechanical sawing or etching to define grooves or recesses in a substrate, and filling the grooves or recesses with light-reflective or light-absorptive material. Light segregation elements external to a substrate may be defined by photolithographic patterning and etching of a sacrificial material, and/or by 3D printing.

Abstract: A system may receive a cluster prediction requirement. The system may determine a first node conglomerate by sorting a first dataset into a first plurality of nodes. The system may determine a plurality of attributes by sorting a second dataset associated with the cluster prediction requirement. The system may determine a second node conglomerate for each of the plurality of attributes. A node confidence score may be assigned to each of the second plurality of nodes. The system may determine a node graph based on a comparison between the first node conglomerate and the second node conglomerate. The node graph may be iteratively modified based on a node optimization threshold value to generate a harmonized node graph. The node optimization threshold value may be based on a map confidence score allotted to the node graph.
