Abstract: OFDM-BPSK symbol sequences are used for mutual-coupling based phase array calibration. Such substitution allows phase to be estimated more accurately using a given estimation duration without compromising other estimates (amplitude and group delay) accuracies.

Abstract: A multilevel converter system is provided. The system includes a converter and a converter controller interfaced with the converter. The converter controller includes a voltage loop, a current loop, and a voltage compensation loop. The voltage loop is configured to receive first and second voltages from the first and second segments of the converter and a reference voltage. The current loop is configured to receive a current output of the converter, a reference current, and a balancing reference current. The voltage compensation loop is configured to receive the first and second voltages and a sign signal. The converter controller is configured to generate first and second pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals using output signals from the current loop and the output compensation signals from the voltage compensation loop. The PWM signals are configured to control the switches of the converter and to balance the first voltage with the second voltage.

Abstract: Allulose crystals are efficiently produced from an allulose syrup using seed crystals.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining the orientation of a device based on visible and/or non-visible orientation cues. The orientation cues may be a geographically located objects, such as a park, body of water, monument, building, landmark, etc. The orientation cues may be visible or non-visible with respect to the location of the device. The device may use one or more image sensors to detect the visible orientation cues. Non-visible orientation cues may be associated with map data. Using the location of the orientation cue and the distance of the orientation cue to the device, the orientation of the device may be determined. The device may then provide an output indicating the orientation of the device.

Abstract: A surgical fastener combination for use in posterior surgeries requiring require fusion between the occiput and pelvis. Among other things, the surgical fastener combination includes first and second cutters.

Abstract: A track assembly includes a first track having a first support extending from a first surface of the first track. The first support includes a first curved end. The track assembly includes a second track slidably coupled to the first track. The second track includes a second support extending from a second surface of the second track. The second support includes a second curved end. The first support and the second support are positioned such that the second curved end interfaces with the first curved end.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for implementation of super-fungible tokens for gaming is disclosed. The electronic device tracks a set of gaming assets associated with a player in a gaming application. Metadata associated with the set of gaming assets is received and a super-fungible token is created, based on a storage of the metadata to a distributed ledger associated with the gaming application. The creation of the super-fungible token corresponds to an ownership of a single gaming asset from the set of gaming assets by the player in the gaming application at a time instant. A first user input indicative of a selection of a first gaming asset is received. The selected first gaming asset is enabled and a set of second gaming assets are disabled in the gaming application. The disabled set of second gaming assets correspond to gaming assets other than the enabled first gaming asset.

Abstract: Implementations of a semiconductor package may include one or more power semiconductor die included in a die module; a first heat sink directly coupled to one or more source pads of the die module; a second heat sink directly coupled to one or more drain pads of the die module; a gate contact coupled with one or more gate pads of the die module; and a coating coupled directly to the die module. The gate contact may be configured to extend through an immersion cooling enclosure.

Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can proactively detect and respond to a request for credentials. Characteristics of an entity requesting the credentials can be preemptively determined by the automated assistant using data that may be provided by the user or other previous visitors to a location. For example, the automated assistant can determine that the entity may expressly request certain information from a user when the user arrives at the location. Based on this determination, the automated assistant can operate to initialize an interface of a computing device of the user, when the user is determined to be at or near the location. For example, an audio interface of the computing device can be initialized to capture an audible request from a person who views credentials before granting access to a feature of the location.

Abstract: A novel wheel slip control device and method improve upon conventional anti-lock brake systems by providing a user interface device which allows the vehicle operator to manipulate the slip ratio threshold of the anti-lock brake system on demand as he or she executes a slide or drift maneuver—thus preventing the system from interrupting the maneuver while also retaining the safety benefits of the anti-lock brake system during ordinary vehicle operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating synthetic intercorrelated data are disclosed. For example, a system may include at least one memory storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include training a parent model by iteratively performing steps. The steps may include generating, using the parent model, first latent-space data and second latent-space data. The steps may include generating, using a first child model, first synthetic data based on the first latent-space data, and generating, using a second child model, second synthetic data based on the second latent-space data. The steps may include comparing the first synthetic data and second synthetic data to training data. The steps may include adjusting a parameter of the parent model based on the comparison or terminating training of the parent model based on the comparison.
