Abstract: A computer-implemented method for tracking surgical textiles includes receiving a first image comprising a first textile-depicting image region, receiving a second image comprising a second textile-depicting image region, measuring a likelihood that the first and second image regions depict at least a portion of the same textile, and incrementing an index counter if the measure of likelihood does not meet a predetermined threshold. The measure of likelihood may be based on at least one classification feature at least partially based on aspects or other features of the first and second images.

Abstract: Methods/structures of joining package structures are described. Those methods/structures may include a first side of a die disposed on a first side of a substrate, and a cooling structure on a second side of the die, wherein the cooling structure comprises a first section attached to the substrate, and a second section disposed on a second side of the die, wherein the first and second sections are separated by an opening in the cooling structure. The opening surrounds a portion of the second section, and at least one flexure beam structure connects the first and second sections.

Abstract: Techniques of minimizing or eliminating stresses in silicon photonic integrated circuits (Si-PICs) and in semiconductor packages having one or more Si-PICs (Si-PIC packages) are described. An Si-PIC or an Si-PIC package includes a stress minimization solution that assists with filtering out stresses by selectively isolating photonic and/or electronic devices, by isolating components or devices in an Si-PIC or an Si-PIC package that are sources of stress, or by isolating an Si-PIC in an Si-PIC package. The stress minimization solution may include strategically placed cavities and a stage that assist with minimizing or preventing transfer of stress to one or more photonic and/or electronic devices in an Si-PIC or an Si-PIC package.
