Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes indexing a whole slide image dataset to generate one or more dataset embeddings corresponding to one or more respective regions of one or more whole slide images. Each dataset embedding includes a feature vector mapping the respective region to a feature embedding space. The method includes accessing a query image and generating an embedding for the query image that includes a feature vector mapping the query image to the feature embedding space. The method includes identifying result tiles by comparing the embedding for the query image to one or more of the dataset embeddings. The comparison is based on one or more distances between the embedding for the query image and the one or more of the dataset embeddings in the feature embedding space. The method includes generating a user interface including a display of the result tiles.

Abstract: A power package includes a motor and at least one of a propeller or a propeller mounting structure. The propeller mounting structure is configured to detachably mount the propeller at the motor and includes a mounting seat configured to be fixed at an end surface of the motor and rotationally engage with the propeller, a lock member, and an elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to the lock member along an axial direction of a motor shaft of the motor to cause at least part of the lock member to block the propeller from being disengaged from the mounting seat. The motor shaft passes through the mounting seat. The propeller includes a connection assembly and a blade disposed at the connection assembly. The connection assembly is configured to mount at the motor shaft and includes an annular connector configured to rotationally engage with the propeller mounting structure.

The locking block is configured to be movable in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the second support rod and to press tightly on the second support rod, to lock the second support rod at a current location relative to an axial direction of the first support rod.

Abstract: Magnetorheological materials having a supramolecular polymer gel as a component of the carrier are disclosed. Useful supramolecular polymers for gels include those having bipyridine or terpyridine ligands which can participate in metal coordination bonding. The magnetizable particles of magnetorheological materials can have supramolecular surfactant-polymer coatings.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are presented for electrically coupling a slider to ground. In one embodiment, a bonding pad is provided on a side of the slider body separate from the bonding pad(s) used for read/write signals. This separate bonding pad is electrically coupled within the slider body to components that are to be coupled to ground. A separate conductor provided on the suspension (e.g., a trace, a flex circuit, etc.) may be electrically coupled to the separate bonding pad via gold ball bonding. The conductor is also coupled to ground in the hard-disk drive device (e.g., via the preamplifier). The use of the separated bonding pad and trace may negate the need to use a conductive adhesive to electrically ground the slider via its attachment to the tongue of a slider.

Abstract: Single write poles tend to large shape anisotropy which results in a very large remnant field when not actually writing. This has now been eliminated by giving the write pole the form of a three layer laminate in which two ferromagnetic layers are separated by a non-magnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling layer. Strong magnetostatic coupling between the outer layers causes their magnetization directions to automatically be antiparallel to one another, unless overcome by the more powerful write field, leaving the structure with a low net magnetic moment. The thickness of the middle layer must be carefully controlled.

Abstract: Aircraft galley carts and methods for their manufacture are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a galley cart for use on an aircraft includes a body configured to be moved along a passenger aisle of the aircraft. The body can include a one-piece plastic shell forming a first side portion and at least one of a second side portion, a top portion, and a bottom portion of the body. In one aspect of this embodiment, at least a portion of the one-piece plastic shell can include an inner skin offset from an outer skin in a double-wall configuration.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an operating condition of a thermoelectric module is monitored. It is determined when the monitored operating condition exceeds a desired range. Upon determining the monitored operating condition exceeds the desired range, a thermal adjustment is applied to the thermal condition to direct the operating condition to within the desired range. The monitoring the operating condition may include measuring an operating temperature of an environment adjacent a surface of the thermoelectric module, a surface temperature of a portion of the thermoelectric module, a thermal differential between the first surface and the second surface of the thermoelectric module, and an output voltage of the thermoelectric module. The desired range includes a temperature range below a level at which the thermoelectric module will sustain thermal damage and a thermal differential capable of causing the thermoelectric module to generate a minimum desired output voltage.
