Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for controlling the phase of at least one light signal in a planar-lightwave circuit (PLC) via a stress-optic (SO) phase controller. SO phase controllers in accordance with the present disclosure include a stress-inducing element disposed on a dome-shaped surface of the upper cladding of an integrated-optics-based waveguide, where the dome surface includes little or no linear portion. Such a dome-shaped surface improves the effectiveness with which the stress-inducing element can impart stress in the waveguide materials, thereby reducing the drive voltage and/or interaction length required to induce a given phase shift as compared to the prior art.

The creation and modification of the SBOMs includes processes for omitting declarations referenced in chunk SBOMs of program chunks incorporated into a final programming build associated with a build SBOM, but which are not actually utilized by the final programming build, as well as processes for adding new declarations for code segments that are not declared in the related chunk SBOMs, even though the code segments are utilized by the final programming build. Systems are also configured to use SBOMs in combination with configuration restriction records to assess and resolve threat events in a manner that can prevent unnecessary remedial actions for threat events that appear to be relevant to one or more files or dependencies incorporated into a program.

Abstract: A computing system that can receive an object search request from a user indicating a request to search for a specific object in an area traversed by one or more autonomous vehicle. The object search request can include a set of physical characteristics of the specific object. The computing system can then transmit a signal to an autonomous vehicle indicating a request for the autonomous vehicle to search for the specific object. The signal can cause the autonomous vehicle to transmit an image, selected based on a physical characteristic of the object, to the computing system. The computing system can then generate a score indicative of a difference between one or more physical characteristic of the object in the image and the specific object. The computing system can then selectively transmit the image to a mobile device operated by the user based on the score.

When an implant passes therethrough, the outer tubular layer expands and the inner tubular layer unfolds into an expanded lumen diameter. The sheath may also include selectively placed longitudinal support rods that mediate friction between the inner and outer tubular layers to facilitate easy expansion, thereby reducing the push force needed to advance the implant through the sheath's lumen.
