Abstract: Masing at room temperature is achieved by an apparatus and method that utilize a microwave cavity which exhibits a resonance of sufficiently high Q-factor for maser oscillation, and a resonator structure comprising a masing medium located within a resonant element. The masing medium comprises spin-defect centres. The resonator structure is disposed within the microwave cavity. A magnetic field is applied across the masing medium. An input of microwave radiation to be amplified is coupled to the resonator structure. An optical pump pumps the masing medium, thereby causing stimulated emission of microwave photons. The microwave cavity has an effective magnetic mode volume matching the volume of the masing medium.

Abstract: Apparatus and method establish quantum oscillations at room temperature. A cavity has therein a resonator structure that includes a resonant element and a gain medium. A species of the gain medium has an electronic spin multiplicity capable of supporting a two-level spin system. An optical pump pumps the resonator structure and thereby generates microwave output power through stimulated emission of thermal photons. The species of the gain medium is of a sufficiently high concentration such as to have an ensemble spin-photon coupling rate which exceeds both the cavity mode decay rate and the spin-spin decoherence rate. The optical pump pumps the resonator structure using a short pulse of nanosecond duration, or a burst of approximately a millisecond in duration at relatively low instantaneous optical power, to excite said species of the gain medium into a spin-polarized two-level system that exhibits quantum oscillations in the microwave output power.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for detecting fraudulent loan applications. The system is based upon multiple layers of detection in which anomalies are detected by analyzing the loan data and the borrower browser configuration for anomalies indicative of fraud. A plurality of fraud detection layers are used which when taken together provide a synergistic approach to detecting fraudulent data.

Abstract: The coping assembly includes a first elongated coping section, a second elongated coping section, and a splice plate. The first coping section includes an end and is mounted on the top of the wall to cover a first portion of a wall. The second coping section includes an end and is mounted on the top of the wall to cover a second portion of the wall. The second coping section is positioned in an end to end relationship with the first coping section and spaced from the first coping section. The splice plate is positioned beneath a portion of the first and second coping sections and includes a portion that extends between the first and second coping sections. The portion of the splice plate includes a formed groove that has the appearance of a mortar reveal.
