  • Publication number: 20250242990
    Abstract: A storage box and storage box system that has connectors to connect horizontally and vertically adjacent storage boxes. A lid of the boxes is releasably retained to the body via hinge members that selectively hinge the lid such that the lid can be opened from different sides of the body Furthermore, the lid can be removed entirely, should it be desired, by unlocking all hinge members. The storage boxes can have a liner to provide thermal insulation.

  • Publication number: 20250143394
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a bowtie clip that fits comfortably against the neck of a wearer. Bowtie clips in accordance with disclosed embodiments can include a front portion that comprises a flat surface. A first clip is attached to the front portion, where the first clip includes a first gripping element and a second gripping element. Similarly, a second clip is attached to the front portion. The second clip can be substantially similar to the first clip. The second clip can also include a first gripping element and a second gripping element. The first clip and second clip can clip on to the collar tabs of a shirt in order to secure the bowtie to a shirt.

  • Patent number: 11552595
    Abstract: Networks of superharmonic injection-locked (SHIL) electronic oscillators can be used to emulate Ising machines for solving difficult computational problems. The oscillators can be simulated or implemented in hardware (e.g., with LC oscillators) and are coupled to each other with links whose connection strengths are weighted according to the problem being solved. The oscillators' phases may be measured with respect to reference signal(s) from one or more reference oscillators, each of which emits a reference signal but does not receive input from any other oscillator. Sparsely connected networks of SHIL oscillators and reference oscillators can be used as Viterbi decoders that do not suffer from the information bottleneck between logic computational blocks and memory in digital computing systems.

  • Patent number: 11320647
    Abstract: Alloys of GeSbSeTe (GSST) can be used to make actively tunable infrared transmission filters that are small, fast, and solid-state. These filters can be used for hyperspectral imaging, 3D LIDAR, portable bio/chem sensing systems, thermal emission control, and tunable filters. GSST is a low-loss phase-change material that can switch from a low-index (n=3), amorphous state to a high-index (n=4.5), hexagonal state with low loss (k<0.3) over a wavelength range of 2-10 microns or more. The GSST thickness can be selected to provide pure phase modulation, pure amplitude modulation, or coupled phase and amplitude modulation. GSST can be switched thermally in an oven, optically with visible light, or electrically via Joule heating at speeds from kilohertz to Gigahertz. It operates with reversible and polarization independent transmission switching over a wide incident angle (e.g., 0-60 degrees).
