The universal interface may then instruct the one or more components of the second set of vehicle components to deliver a commensurate portion of the specified amount of torque.

Abstract: A method for approximating an inverse Hessian is provided. One methodology to generate the inverse Hessian is to precondition the gradient, such as by using point-spread function deconvolution, T-power, or source-illumination compensation, prior to using non-stationary matching filters (NMF) to generate the inverse Hessian. Various types of NMF are contemplated, including using filters for different windows in the subsurface or using filters assigned to specific locations in the subsurface. Further, the number of filters for NMF may vary from iteration to iteration. For example, the filters assigned to the specific locations in the subsurface may be generated in a multi-scale manner, in which an initial iteration uses longer scale/longer wavelength features for inversion and subsequent iterations use finer scale/smaller wavelength features for inversion.

Abstract: A combination of materials and processing parameters have been developed for hermetic seals for electrical feedthroughs in high performance applications. A glass-ceramic forms a hermetic seal between a stainless steel shell and a platinum-nickel-based (Pt—Ni) pin alloy for electrical feedthroughs. The glass-ceramic is processed to develop a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) slightly higher than the pin alloy but lower than the stainless steel. The seal system employing the new processing conditions and Pt—Ni-based pin alloy alleviates several problems encountered in previous seal systems and improves the hermetic connector performance.
