Abstract: A radiation detection technique employs field enhancing structures and electroluminescent materials to converts incident Terahertz (THz) radiation into visible light and/or infrared light. In this technique, the field-enhancing structures, such as split ring resonators or micro-slits, enhances the electric field of incoming THz light within a local area, where the electroluminescent material is applied. The enhanced electric field then induces the electroluminescent material to emit visible and/or infrared light via electroluminescent process. A detector such as avalanche photodiode can detect and measure the emitted light. This technique allows cost-effective detection of THz radiation at room temperatures.

Abstract: A hybrid-resolution panoramic VR generator places High-Resolution (HR) patches from a ring of HR cameras onto a 360-degree Low-Resolution (LR) image from a LR camera pointing upward from the ring into a panoramic mirror that captures the combined field of view of all the multiple HR cameras, but at a lower resolution. Ghosting artifacts caused by parallax errors between adjacent HR cameras are eliminated because object placement is determined by the 360-degree LR image. Each HR image is homographicly projected into 3 projections by grouping objects of different depths to obtain homographic matrixes. The 360-degree LR image is upscaled to HR and a query patch is searched in search windows in the three projections for up to two adjacent HR images. Best-matching patches are weighted by similarity with the query patch and blended to generate a reconstructed patch placed at the query patch location in a reconstructed HR panorama image.

Abstract: A method for virtual local area network fail-over management, a system therefor and an apparatus therewith are introduced herein. In the method for virtual local area network fail-over management in a hybrid software-defined network (SDN), a controller with a centralized management authority may manage some fail-over events that occur in each link or switch in a centralized manner. The controller may pre-calculate backup paths for each link or switch in case that fail-over events occur therefrom. Whenever the fail-over event occurs in some specific link or switch, the controller may deploy the pre-calculated backup path in response to the link down or switch down event, which may reduce the convergence recovery time for the VLAN path in case of fail-over events and improve the reliability of data transmission.
