In some examples, a file structure is applied to the data and data files are recovered from the image. In various examples, the portion of magnetic media can be hard disk media, floppy disk media, or magnetic tape.

Abstract: The processing of information is performed using a magneto-optic circuit that modifies the polarization of light using the Kerr effect. Magneto-optic circuits perform digital-to-analog conversion, comparison of values, and mathematical operations. Current carrying wires pass near a fiber-optic that carries polarized light. Each individual wire contributes a modification to the polarization of the light based on the current carried in each wire. The modified light is passed through a polarizer, and the intensity of the light may be measured with a photodiode to produce an electrical signal representing a result.

The image frame is de-quantized and transformed to produce a low frequency image frame of a first color. A first set of components of the first color and a second set of components of the first color are determined based at least in part on the low frequency image frame and the high frequency image frame. The first set of components of the first color and the second set of components of the first color are combined with a set of components of a second color to produce a set of image data for an image frame. The set of image data is processed to produce the image frame in a particular format to be displayed on a display device.

Abstract: A modular computer system includes a plurality of circuit modules, each of which includes one or more components that are subject to failure, such as a vacuum tube. A carrier assembly is added to each circuit module of the modular computer system. The carrier assembly hosts monitoring circuitry that indicates the proper functioning of one or more components on the attached module. In one implementation, each module includes a vacuum tube, and a coil located on the carrier assembly is connected in series with the heater of the vacuum tube. A Hall effect sensor is positioned near the coil. If the heater of the vacuum tube fails, the flow of current through the coil is interrupted and is detected by the Hall effect sensor. The Hall effect sensor is connected to an LED that indicates failure of the vacuum tube.

Abstract: An image comprising a set of pixels is obtained and a dominant hue is determined. A color value of individual pixels in a subset of the set of pixels that fall within the hue range is modified to produce a first transformed image. A filter is applied to the first transformed image or an image derived from the first transformed image to reduce spatial high frequency noise and derive a low frequency image. A high frequency image is generated based on the first transformed image and the low frequency image. Whether the high frequency image depicts the object at a target image frequency is determined based on specified criteria for an object, and if the high frequency image corresponds to the target image frequency, the high frequency image is stored.
