Publication number: 20220389561Abstract: A process enables growing thick stoichiometric crystalline and preferably IR-transparent optical PCMO material on Si and other substrates. Sputter deposition is carried out in oxygen-free inert gas (e.g., Ar) environment, which helps to prevent decomposition of the PCMO material over the substrate. In the disclosed process, there is no need to add a seed layer prior to PCMO deposition. Moreover, no post-deposition annealing is needed in a high-temperature and high-pressure oxygen furnace, but an anneal provides certain additional benefits in terms of improved transparency at IR wavelengths. Over a long deposition time for a thick PCMO film on the high temperature (?450° C.) substrates, the PCMO deposition is made repeated cycles of deposition of the PCMO material at the high temperature, each deposition cycle being followed by cooling the PCMO-deposited substrate to a substantially lower temperature (<50° C.).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: HRL Laboratories, LLCInventors: Kyung-Ah SON, Jeong-Sun MOON, Hwa Chang SEO, Richard M.

Publication number: 20220391022Abstract: A system and method providing a radar-based motion-sensing user interface suitable for issuing commands to a device or system as a consequence of the detection of user motion, whole-body gestures and/or hand gestures. The system and method derive a three-dimensional representation of a user within a defined space from two-dimensional data obtained from multiple reflected radar signals. The three-dimensional representation is then processed to recognize a human body, and in particular the movement and/or position of the body and/or body parts and joints. The recognized movement and/or position are then compared to a known list of gestures and movements that are associated with particular device/system commands. If one or more of the recognized movements and/or positions conforms with a command movement/gesture, the associated command is issued to the device or system being controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: ARRIS ENTERPRISES LLCInventor: Yuvaraj Nagarathinam
