Abstract: The present invention relates to a parking support Apparatus, comprising mm-wave radar sensor, having an integrated mm-wave IC front end. The proposed Apparatus can detect the parking obstacle object distance and partly position of the objects, having inherently low-cost system topology, suitable as a replacement in functionality for the commonly used ultrasound sensors. Proposed apparatus is preferably realized by integrated low cost module approach, using single metal layer printed dipole antennas, with integrated reflector, and four connectors for digital interface and DC supply, without PCB structures, bonding wires and flip chip bubbles. The proposed Apparatus can be integrated by using reduced complexity module integration with polymers or semiconductor technologies.

Abstract: A solid-state device configured to generate an electric signal indicative of a presence or an absence of a magnetic topological soliton is disclosed. The solid-state device includes a storage element configured to store a magnetic topological soliton. The storage element includes a topological insulator. The storage element also includes a magnetic strip arranged on the topological insulator. The solid-state device also includes a magnetic topological soliton detector configured to generate the electric signal indicative of the presence or the absence of the magnetic topological soliton in a detection region of the storage element. The magnetic topological soliton detector is adapted for detecting a spin-independent difference in tunneling amplitude, a difference in electrical resistance, or a difference in electrical conductivity through the topological insulator in the detection region due to the presence or the absence of the magnetic topological soliton in the detection region.

Abstract: An information management system including at least one data storage device and at least one processor coupled to the at least one data storage device. The at least one processor is configured to receive at least one object, the object having a location in a hierarchical file organizational structure. The processor also generates at least one prospective keyword for the at least one object based upon the location of the object in the hierarchical organization structure, and associates the at least one object with at least one of the prospective keywords.
Abstract: Topologies for analog computing systems are provided. Qubits in the topology are grouped into cells, and cells are coupled to adjacent cells by inter-cell couplers. At least some cells are coupled to non-adjacent cells via long-range couplers. Long-range couplers may be arranged into coverings so that certain sets of qubits within a covering region may be coupled with a reduced number of couplers. Each cell within a covering region without a long-range coupler may be proximate to a cell with a long range coupler so that each cell within the covering region is no more than a certain coupling distance away from a long-range coupler. Long-range couplers may couple over a greater physical distance than inter-cell couplers. Long-range couplers may couple to qubits over a larger coupling region, and may extend across multiple crossing regions between qubits.

Abstract: [Problem] To reduce user's workload when preparing a playlist. [Solution] A playlist preparation terminal 2 carries out face recognition processes on the image data of listeners captured for each room from a room A to a room C, and generates listener information including the atmosphere, age group, and a male-to-female ratio of a listener group made up of the listeners captured in the image data. The playlist preparation terminal 2 then prepares a playlist by selecting music data from among music data belonging to the genre information preliminarily associated with the listener information, and multicasts the playlist together with the designation data for the wireless speakers 1-1 to 1-3 from which to output music. As a result, the playlist preparation terminal 2 allows the wireless speakers 1-1 to 1-3 from which to output the music to reproduce the music data according to the playlist and output the music.
