  • Publication number: 20200335945
    Abstract: Tensile strained germanium is provided that can be sufficiently strained to provide a nearly direct band gap material or a direct band gap material. Compressively stressed or tensile stressed stressor materials in contact with germanium regions induce uniaxial or biaxial tensile strain in the germanium regions. Stressor materials may include silicon nitride or silicon germanium. The resulting strained germanium structure can be used to emit or detect photons including, for example, generating photons within a resonant cavity to provide a laser.

  • Publication number: 20200334839
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining an atlas element. The method encompasses acquiring model image data that describes at least one fixed element (an anatomical element such as an anatomical body part, for example, a rib). Patient image data is acquired that describes an improvable element (an anatomical element such as an anatomical body part, for example heart). Region data is acquired, for example by assigning a homogeneous grey value to a region of the model image. The patient image is matched to the model image, wherein no matching is performed within the region. A transformation for mapping the improvable element into the region is determined based on matching. Several patient images are then mapped into the region and superimposed. An atlas element is determined based on the superimposed images. The method may be repeated using the determined anatomical atlas element as a constraint to detect further atlas elements.

  • Publication number: 20200331633
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a rotorcraft-assisted system and method for launching and retrieving a fixed-wing aircraft into and from free flight. The launch and retrieval system includes a modular multicopter, a storage and launch system, an anchor system, a flexible capture member, and an aircraft-landing structure. The multicopter is attachable to the fixed-wing aircraft to facilitate launching the fixed-wing aircraft into free, wing-borne flight. The storage and launch system is usable to store the multicopter (when disassembled) and to act as a launch mount for the fixed-wing aircraft by retaining the fixed-wing aircraft in a desired launch orientation. The anchor system is usable with the multicopter, the flexible capture member, and the aircraft-landing structure to retrieve the fixed-wing aircraft from free, wing-borne flight.
