  • Patent number: 11727294
    Abstract: A quantum information processing system comprises a light source, a detector, at least one spatial light modulator and at least one optical lens. The light source is configured to provide a beam of entangled photons. The at least one optical lens is configured to project the resultant beam onto the spatial light modulator, either by direct imaging or by performing a full or partial optical Fourier transform. Said spatial light modulator includes a plurality of discrete pixels and is configured to select one or more of the plurality of discrete pixels to generate a resultant beam from said beam of entangled photons. The resultant beam from said spatial light modulator is projected onto the detector. For optical computation, such as search algorithms, the configuration and projections are repeated to find the optimal solution.

  • Patent number: 11688990
    Abstract: A terminal structure of a high-frequency signal connector and a manufacturing method thereof, in which multiple first terminals and multiple second terminals, multiple excavation areas and multiple trimming lines are trimmed from a tape, the first terminals and the second terminals are arranged alternately, each of the trimming lines is located between one of the first terminals and one of the second terminals that are disposed next to each other, followed by stamping the first terminals and the second terminals to form a first terminal set and a second terminal set. The first terminals and the second terminals are formed simultaneously on a single tape, and in turn, the period for fabricating dies and developing dies may be reduced, and less metal tapes is wasted after blanking of the first terminals and the second terminals, in order to decrease processes and reduce a manufacturing cost of the connector effectively.

  • Patent number: 10627627
    Abstract: An eye tracking system includes a light guide comprising a first eye-facing surface, a second surface, a third surface, and a plurality of facets formed in the second surface. The facets reflect a portion of light incident on a user eye into the light guide, which is positioned proximate to the user eye and between the user eye and a display. A surface of a compensator may be shaped complementary to the second surface of the light guide and placed proximate to the light guide. A camera or image sensor is oriented toward the third surface of the light guide and captures an image based on internally reflected light. An IR light source may be included. The image sensor may be an IR image sensor. Based on the image, a pose of the user eye is determined. A faceted light guide assembly may include a reflective coating adjacent the facets.
