  • Publication number: 20200028313
    Abstract: A set of optical elements for optical extraction composed of packed expanding optical cross sections to efficiently extract from a large gain region. The elements are rectangular shaped concave small expansion lenses matched to rectangular convex collimating lenses. Absorbing sheets divide an overall large volume up into smaller volumes to minimize losses due to amplified spontaneous emission. This arrangement has various applications, particularly in inertial confinement technology, where it may be used to extract energy from KrF laser media energized by electron beams. For certain applications, this regime of the gain medium may have zones at the absorbing sheets where this is no gain.

  • Publication number: 20200029072
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. According to an aspect of the disclosure, the processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current coding tree unit (CTU) within a picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of an intra block copy mode. The processing circuitry further determines a reference area in the picture for the current block based on signals in the coded video bitstream that indicate constraints of the reference area, and then the processing circuitry reconstructs at least a sample of the current block based on reference samples of the reference area in the picture.

  • Publication number: 20200025507
    Abstract: An electromagnetic launcher with a curved or spiral-shaped, open-ended guideway and conductors for launching a projectile. The projectile, movably retained on or within the guideway, is accelerated along the guideway using electromagnetic forces until it reaches an end of the guideway, then the projectile is launched in a desired direction. The direction of the launch of the projectile is determined by orienting the guideway in the desired direction using an actuator.

  • Publication number: 20200027919
    Abstract: Various fabrication method are disclosed. In one such method, at least one structure is formed on a substrate which protrudes outwardly from a plane of the substrate. A beam is used to form a layer of material, at least part of which is in direct contact with a semiconductor structure on the substrate, the semiconductor structure comprising at least one nanowire. The beam has a non-zero angle of incidence relative to the normal of the plane of the substrate such that the beam is incident on one side of the protruding structure, thereby preventing a portion of the nanowire in a shadow region adjacent the other side of the protruding structure in the plane of the substrate from being covered with the material.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle having an electric power steering system includes generating a plurality of possible routes. Each of the plurality of possible routes that require a steering torque that is within an available torque range is identified as a system compliant route. Each of the plurality of possible routes that require an angular position of an electric motor of the electric power steering system at all time indices throughout that route that are within an available motor position range are also identified as a system compliant route. One of the identified system compliant routes is selected based on at least one selection criteria, and designated as an active route. The electric power steering system is then controlled to maneuver the vehicle along the active route. The electric power steering system is monitored as the vehicle moves along the active route to identify degradation of its capabilities.

    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally related to a system and method for exempting a transaction from a transaction hold. A computing system determines that an account associated with a user has been compromised. The computing system places a transaction hold on the account that has been compromised. The computing system generates one or more safe zones based at least on historical transaction data associated with the user. The one or more safe zones exempt from the transaction hold. The computing system receives a verification request for a transaction associated with the account. The verification request includes at least a merchant identification code associated with the third party merchant. The computing system determines that the third party merchant is included in at least one safe zone of the one or more safe zones. Based on the determination, the computing system verifies the transaction with the server of the third party merchant.

  • Publication number: 20200029040
    Abstract: An imaging device may have an array of image sensor pixels and image readout circuitry coupled to the array of image sensor pixels. Predictive pre-charge circuitry may be coupled to the array of image sensor pixels and the image readout circuitry. The predictive pre-charge circuitry and the image readout circuitry may perform correlated double sampling operations during charge readout, comparing the charge generated by the array of image pixels to a known reset value. The predictive pre-charge circuitry may pre-charge output lines from the array of image pixels, thereby reducing the time needed for the circuitry to read out the charge after being reset. The output lines may be pre-charged prior to reading out the charge of a row of image sensor pixels based on a voltage associated with the charge generated by at least one previous row of image sensor pixels of the array of image sensor pixels.
