Abstract: A system and method for searching a document for a query pattern. A plurality of streams may be stored each including a linear sequence of nodes. Each stream may be associated with nodes having a common label in a data tree of the document. A query pattern may be searched for in the streams by executing a plurality of threads. Each of two or more of the threads may be used to search different sub-streams of the plurality of streams. Each of the different sub-streams searched for by each thread in each stream may be uniquely correlated with one or more disjoint sub-trees of a partition of the tree into a plurality of sub-trees. The two or more of the plurality of threads may be executed in parallel. A result of the query pattern search may be generated using at least one of the threads.

Abstract: A versatile and rapid sol-gel technique for the fabrication of high quality one-dimensional photonic bandgap materials. For example, silica/titania multi-layer materials may be fabricated by a sol-gel chemistry route combined with dip-coating onto planar or curved substrate. A shock-cooling step immediately following the thin film heat-treatment process is introduced. This step was found important in the prevention of film crack formation—especially in silica/titania alternating stack materials with a high number of layers. The versatility of this sol-gel method is demonstrated by the fabrication of various Bragg stack-type materials with fine-tuned optical properties by tailoring the number and sequence of alternating layers, the film thickness and the effective refractive index of the deposited thin films. Measured optical properties show good agreement with theoretical simulations confirming the high quality of these sol-gel fabricated optical materials.

Abstract: A sensorless control method and system for a motor are provided. The includes a back EMF observer that is configured to estimate a back EMF of the motor and an angle error calculator that is configured to calculate an electrical angle error considering iron loss of the motor based on the back EMF estimated by the back EMF observer. An angle error compensator is configured to compensate the electrical angle error calculated by the angle error calculator. An electrical angle for compensating the calculated electrical angle error is obtained through simulation or experiment for the motor. In addition, a PLL controller is configured to receive the compensated electrical angle to estimate an actual angle by reducing the electrical angle error due to the iron loss, and to operate the motor based on the estimated actual angle.

Abstract: This invention provides a new technology for management of back pain by stimulating the spinal cord in a manner that renders it refractory to transmission of deleterious or undesirable sensory input. The electrical stimulus comprises high frequency pulses in a regular or complex pattern or that are stochastically produced under microprocessor control. The stimulus is applied directly to the surface of the spinal cord from within the spinal canal, which provides important benefits over previous technology. The stimulus alleviates symptoms and signs of back pain, while minimizing the risk of side effects such as paresthesia, and potentially minimizing the effects on motor neuron transmission and proprioception.
