  • Publication number: 20240030887
    Abstract: A resonator element of the monocrystalline 4H or 6H polytype of silicon carbide. A MEMS device including the resonator element and a substrate, wherein the resonator element and the substrate are not coplanar, and acoustic decoupling of the resonator element and the substrate is at least partially dependent upon a degree to which the resonator element and the substrate are not coplanar. A MEMS gyroscope including the resonator element, a substrate, one or more electrodes disposed proximate the resonator element, and a capacitive gap disposed between each electrode and the resonator element. A MEMS device including the resonator element having has a Q greater than 1,000,000, a phononic crystal substrate, and a gap disposed between a perimeter edge of the resonator element and the phononic crystal substrate, wherein acoustic decoupling of the resonator element and the phononic crystal substrate is at least partially dependent upon a size of the gap.

  • Patent number: 11777468
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to acoustically decoupled microelectromechanical system devices and, more particularly, to acoustically decoupled microelectromechanical system devices anchored upon phononic crystals. In some embodiments described herein, a device may comprise a resonator, a handle layer, and a pedestal disposed between the resonator and the handle layer, the pedestal connecting the resonator to the handle layer. In the devices described herein, the resonator and the handle layer may be non-coplanar. In some embodiments, the handle layer comprises a phononic crystal to acoustically decouple the resonator from the substrate of the handle layer.

  • Publication number: 20220078198
    Abstract: A system for generating a cybersecurity investigation case that comprises: an event parser for receiving an event and identifying at least one empty entity from the received event; a case investigator for determining a value to the at least one empty entity to obtain at least one enriched entity; a case correlator for associating at least one existing investigation case to the received event; and a case manager for generating and outputting the cybersecurity investigation case.

  • Publication number: 20210218748
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for defining roles, comprising: receiving access usage data comprising identities and respective performed actions; receiving a list of entitlements each allowing the execution of at least one respective action; generating a plurality of groups of actions by regrouping given ones of the identities having associated thereto a same group of the respective performed actions using the access usage data; for each one of the plurality of groups of actions, determining a group of entitlements contained in the list of entitlements that allow the execution of the group of actions; for each one of the plurality of groups of actions, associating thereto the respective group of entitlements, thereby obtaining a plurality of roles; and outputting the plurality of roles.

  • Patent number: 10947111
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can include a method for frequency trimming a microelectromechanical resonator, the resonator comprising a substrate and a plurality of loading elements layered on a surface of the substrate, the method comprising: selecting a first loading element of the plurality of loading elements, the first loading element being layered on a surface of a region of interest of the substrate; heating the first loading element and substrate within the region of interest to a predetermined temperature using an optical energy source, causing the first loading element to diffuse into the substrate; and cooling the region of interest to form a eutectic composition layer bonding the loading element and the substrate within the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 4817797
    Abstract: Closed package with a composite binding member/handle and a grasping cavity.A closed composite package with a peripheral binding member for the presentation for sale of a product sensitive to light, characterized in that the body (1) of the package is formed behind the peripheral belt (12), at free end locations resulting from quincuncial arrangemnt of the containers, in accordance with a receiving cavity (24) which is formed by the enveloping of the adjacent lateral surfaces of the end containers; the cavity has different heights depending on the shape and the dimensions of the containers; the bottom (2) is attached to the body (1), on the one hand, by one or two gluing strips (3) and (4) or (101) and, on the other hand, by central strips (10) and (11) or (92) possibly joined to the bottom of the cavity (24) by auxiliary holding strips (95) and (96).

  • Patent number: 4382511
    Abstract: A cardboard package for a group of bottles or any containers of a generally cylindrical shape has a flat binder encircling its lateral surfaces. The binder is held in the plane of equilibrium of the full package by deformable structures on each of the corners of the lateral surfaces.When the binder is pulled the deformable structures collapse thus reducing the periphery of the package and the excess loop of the binder can be used as a handle. (Based on FIG. 2).
