Abstract: A clearance control assembly for a gas turbine engine that defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a stage of rotor blades and a shroud hanger. The assembly includes a case configured to be positioned outward along the radial direction from the stage of rotor blades when installed in the gas turbine engine. The case is further configured to be engaged with the shroud hanger at a first location when installed in the gas turbine engine. The assembly also includes a baffle positioned outward along the radial direction from the case to define a chamber therebetween. The baffle has a forward end and an aft end. The forward end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a first seal and the aft end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a second seal. The baffle, the case, or both define an inlet to allow a fluid to enter the chamber and the case defines an outlet to allow the fluid to exit the chamber.

Abstract: A system for a Rydberg atom based quantum communications transceiver is provided. The system may include a laser source for generating a photon. The system may also include one or more optical elements to create a pair of entangled photons from a generated photon, wherein the pair of entangled photons comprises a first entangled photon and a second entangled photon. The system may further include a radio-frequency (RF) based element to generate a quantum communication path from the pair of entangled photons by creating two Rydberg atom vapor cells (RAVC) that are entangled such that entangled photons may transfer or communicate their entangled state to Rydberg atoms within the Rydberg atom vapor cells (RAVCs) and form at least one entangled link with the other, the communication path comprising the least one entangled link. The system may also include one or more photon receivers, which may use at least one translation technique, to translate entangled state of each of the Rydberg atom vapor cells (RAVC).

Abstract: A virtual data store system comprises a network interface and a processing device operable to access a source database of data records comprising data, wherein an entity is enabled to utilize the virtual data store system as a database. A verification query is formulated with respect to a data record, that stores an item of data, which is transmitted to online network sources via a proxy service. A query response is parsed and in response to determining that the item of data in the data record is potentially present in the parsed response, a corresponding confidence score is generated. If the confidence score is below a first threshold, a subsequent verification operation is performed. If the subsequent verification operation fails, the second item of data is deleted from memory to conserve memory resources. The data record may be accessed from the virtual data store and used to initiate a networked communication.

Abstract: A distributed storage system includes a primary storage system and a secondary storage system. The secondary storage system stores the actual data and the primary storage system stores metadata for the actual data. The metadata references at the primary storage system may be deleted without deleting the corresponding data at the secondary storage system. Snapshots of the metadata at the primary storage system are sent to the secondary storage system. The secondary storage system can compare two metadata snapshots received from the primary storage in order to determine whether data stored at the secondary storage system has been deleted at the primary storage system for longer than a retention period. Such data may be deleted to free up storage space at the secondary storage server.

Abstract: A multi-rate, burst-mode, photon-counting receiver can communicate at data rates up to 10.416 Mb/s over a 30-foot water channel. With added attenuation, the maximum link loss is 97.1 dB at ?=517 nm. In clear ocean water, this equates to link distances up to 148 meters. For ?=470 nm, the achievable link distance in clear ocean water is 450 meters. The receiver incorporates soft-decision forward error correction (FEC) that supports multiple code rates to achieve error-free performance. A burst-mode receiver architecture provides robust performance with respect to unpredictable channel obstructions. The receiver can detect the data rate on-the-fly and adapts to changing levels of signal and background light. The receiver updates its phase alignment and channel estimates every frame, allowing for rapid changes in water quality as well as motion between transmitter and receiver.

And, an Array Average Product Length-to-Side Silhouette of first and second packages of the array may be from about 1.2 to about 1.6. Further, the second size may have a Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouette that is greater than the Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouette of the first size.

Abstract: A method for preventing image retention in an electronic display, and an electronic display configured to perform such a method. A time period and a pixel threshold may be defined. A checksum calculation of all pixel data within an active image area of the electronic display is preferably performed during the predetermined period of time. A checksum calculation is then performed to determine if the change in pixel data during the period of time is less than the pixel threshold. If not, an image retention prevention procedure is conducted for each area of the active image area of the display where the threshold value was not met. Generally, the image retention prevention procedure includes transmitting alternate pixel data to at least a portion of the pixels within the subject area.
