Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a frame for mounting remote radio units. The frame includes a first vertical member, a second vertical member spaced apart from the first vertical member, at least one standoff member fixed to the first vertical member and the second vertical member, a first clamp member attached to the second vertical member, and a second clamp member coupled to the first clamp member, the first and second clamp members configured to clamp to a mounting structure. The second vertical member is positioned between the mounting structure and the first vertical member, and the second clamp member is configured for mounting of an antenna mounting frame, such that the first and second vertical members are on a first side of the mounting structure and the antenna mounting frame is on a second, opposite side of the mounting structure.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve configured to replace a native heart valve and having a support frame configured to be reshaped into an expanded form in order to receive and/or support an expandable prosthetic heart valve therein is disclosed, together with methods of using same. The prosthetic heart valve may be configured to have a generally rigid and/or expansion-resistant configuration when initially implanted to replace a native valve (or other prosthetic heart valve), but to assume a generally expanded form when subjected to an outward force such as that provided by a dilation balloon or other mechanical expander.

Abstract: A system performs processing of transmitting, to a second-space side that is a second indoor space separated from a first space, a first picked-up image signal obtained by imaging the first space, and a first audio signal obtained by collecting sound in the first space, and processing of receiving, from the second-space side, a second picked-up image signal obtained by imaging a second space, and a second audio signal obtained by collecting sound in the second space, causing a first projector to output, to a first screen, a projection image, and causing a first speaker to output audio. The system further performs first image analysis processing of detecting a person in the first space based on the first picked-up image signal, and first directivity control processing of controlling a directivity of a first microphone so as to be directed to a position of the person in the first space.

Abstract: A high-energy resistor has a resistive body comprising unbound particulate material. The resistance value of the resistor can be determined in part by a mixing ratio of components in the unbound particulate material and a pressure applied to the particulate material. For a selected mixing ratio, the resistance of the assembled resistor can be adjusted to obtain a selected resistance value with high accuracy by changing pressure on the unbound particulate material. Such adjustment can be made readily by a user before and/or after the resistor is installed in a system. The adjustment can be automated and made during operation of the system to maintain a resistance value precisely.

Abstract: A system receives, from a second space, a second picked-up image signal obtained by picking up by a second imaging unit, and projects in a first space an image on the basis of the second picked-up image signal. The system includes a region setting section that sets a specific output region, a signal processing section that generates post-processing image data by performing image signal processing on the second picked-up image signal in such a way that a luminance value of the image projected onto the specific output region becomes equal to or smaller than a specific value; and a device control section that causes projection of the image on the basis of the post-processing image data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to shield various components (e.g., a gasket, a sensor, a wire, a mechanical component made of metals and/or polymers) deployed in a vacuum environment using a shield assembly formed from multiple ceramic fibers. The shield assembly reduces damage to the components when exposed to a plasma and the generation of contaminants. The ceramic fibers are formed from a ceramic and arranged in a packed structure creating a tortuous trajectory that suppresses the transport of charged particles and/or contaminants through the shield assembly. The ceramic fibers are mechanically compliant and readily bent and/or packed into gaps without fracture. The ceramic fibers may also be formed into a tube to surround a fiberglass rod, a gasket, a sensor, and/or a wire. The presence of the shield assemblies also permits cleaning of the interior surfaces of the vacuum chamber using a plasma without generating contaminants from the gaskets.

Abstract: A multi-fed, multi-segmented magnetic coil assembly includes inertial dampers that can avoid excessive strain on core portions and fasteners that hold core portions of the magnetic coil together. Energy-absorbing elements are used to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy of oscillating components of the magnetic coil that result from high magnetic pressure acting on core segments. The inertial dampers and energy-absorbing elements can be selected to critically damp or overdamp mechanical oscillation in the magnetic coil assembly, allowing continuous repeated production of intense magnetic fields.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an insert block which in turn includes contact elements to electrically couple to first conductors of a set of cables. The insert block also includes first interconnects, each first interconnect including a passage formed through the volume of the insert block. The apparatus also includes an insulator block coupled to the insert block and including second interconnects aligned to the set of first interconnects. The apparatus further includes a back plate coupled to the insulator block and including a set of third interconnects aligned to the set of first interconnects and the set of second interconnects. During use, the cables are disposable through the first interconnects, the second interconnects, and the third interconnects such that, for each cable, a second conductor of that cable is electrically insulated from the insert block and is electrically coupled to the back plate.

Abstract: A single-turn coil and supporting structure for producing intense magnetic fields are described. Magnetic field and mechanical stress analyses aid in designing a magnetic coil assembly that can produce peak magnetic fields in excess of 10 Tesla in large cavities for more than 1,000 pulses.

Abstract: An imaging system, such as a surgical microscope, laparoscope, or endoscope or integrated with these devices, includes an illuminator providing patterned white light and/or fluorescent stimulus light. The system receives and images light hyperspectrally, in embodiments using a hyperspectral imaging array, and/or using narrowband tunable filters for passing filtered received light to an imager. Embodiments may construct a 3-D surface model from stereo images, and will estimate optical properties of the target using images taken in patterned light or using other approximations obtained from white light exposures. Hyperspectral images taken under stimulus light are displayed as fluorescent images, and corrected for optical properties of tissue to provide quantitative maps of fluorophore concentration. Spectral information from hyperspectral images is processed to provide depth of fluorophore below the tissue surface. Quantitative images of fluorescence at depth are also prepared.
