Abstract: A portable magnetic resonance imager has a probe. One or more magnets are disposed in the probe, creating at least one magnetic field to precess protons at a target. A magnetometer disposed in the probe has a light source and a nitrogen vacancy diamond. The light source projects a light on the nitrogen vacancy diamond. The nitrogen vacancy diamond fluoresces in response to the light. A photodetector detects the fluorescence and produces a signal in response thereto indicative of the decaying of precessing protons having precessed in the presence of the one or more magnets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for restoring and/or orthodontically moving teeth. The methods can include determining an orthodontic treatment plan to at least partially correct for a malocclusion of at least one tooth. The methods can include determining an amount of cosmetic restoration of the at least one tooth based on a degree of partial correction of the malocclusion. The methods can include preparing the at least one tooth for the cosmetic restoration by orthodontically moving the tooth from a first position to a second position. The methods can include cosmetically restoring the at least one tooth when the at least one tooth is in the second position.
Abstract: Periodic signal timing calibration is implemented in time-distributed fragments executed concurrently with occasional system-idling maintenance operations to maintain reliable synchronous communication between interconnected system components without impacting system availability.
Abstract: An expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical rings generally aligned on a common longitudinal stent axis and interconnected by one or more interconnecting links placed so that the stent is flexible in the longitudinal direction. The radial strength of the stent is enhanced by selectively increasing the width of the crests by offsetting the center points of inner arcs relative to outer arcs.

Abstract: A coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture processor is disclosed, featuring an array of configurable units capable of executing an application with defined progress milestones. The processor includes a control bus connecting the configurable units and a hang detection circuit with a timer that resets upon receiving a control signal via the control bus. Upon reaching a progress milestone, a configurable unit sends a control signal to the hang detection circuit via the control bus. The hang detection circuit monitors the application's execution for hang conditions by detecting timer expiration, ensuring efficient and reliable processing of applications on the reconfigurable processor.
Abstract: A computing system is disclosed, comprising a host computer and multiple CGRPs (coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture processors) connected to the host computer through external communication links. Each CGRP includes an internal network, external interface circuits, memory interface circuits, arrays of configurable units, hang detection circuits, force-quit controllers, and a network recovery circuit with control registers. The host computer is programmed to configure and execute applications across the arrays of configurable units in both CGRPs. In case of a hang detection in one CGRP, the network recovery circuit initiates a force quit process and notifies the host computer. Additionally, the network recovery circuit compares application IDs and halts execution in the other CGRP if necessary. This system provides efficient failure tolerance and recovery mechanisms for parallel processing applications.
