Abstract: Symmetric key exchange via TLS on CAN bus interface for multiple devices. The key exchange is configured to elect a master PCA pump for a CAN bus network and prevent two PCA pumps from being master. Upon joining the CAN bus network PCA pumps exchange their MAC IDs with the PCA pumps in the CAN bus network. Once a bootstrap timeout ends, each PCA pump compares all MAC IDs to determine if it should advance to the voting stage. If the PCA pump has the lowest MAC ID, the PCA pump enters the voting stage. During the voting stage, the PCA pump sends master requests prompts to all the PCA pumps in the network. If the PCA pump's internal vote counter reaches a count of three the PCA pump becomes key master.

Abstract: A device that treats water with multiple wavelengths of light an optionally sound in order to modify the structure of the water. The device may have two light panels on two different sides of a transparent container that holds water to be treated. Each light panel may have light sources that emit three different wavelengths of light. Specific wavelength combinations have been found to produce the desired structural changes in water. Hydrogen and/or oxygen, and/or minerals and/or chromophores may be added to the water before or during treatment. Potential sources of hydrogen and oxygen may be an electrolysis unit attached to or integrated into the light treatment device, or a hydrogen bearing mineral that may be added to the water. Experiments that treat and then freeze the water demonstrate a novel structure via the formation of unusual crystalline forms in the frozen, treated water.

Abstract: A method of detecting ghost objects in sensor measurements of an environment of a vehicle involves obtaining map context information from a digital road map. Objects having associated attributes are recognized in an environment of the vehicle, and social context information of the objects in relation to one another is generated. All available data of a traffic situation with the vehicle and the objects is stored in a graph structure, having nodes and edges. Relational information is depicted in the graph structure by the edges. Anomalies and patterns are searched for in features of the graph structure while taking the map context information and the social context information into account, whereby ghost objects are classified using recognized anomalies and patterns.

Abstract: Parameters of a first transformer are accessed, and size dimensions of a second transformer that is to be trained and is larger than the first transformer are received. The parameters of the first transformer are linearly transformed using a combination of a width-growth operator and a depth-growth operator, wherein the linear transformation produces a set of new parameters, the set corresponding to the size dimensions of the second transformer. The second transformer is initialized with the set of new parameters.

Abstract: Light-emitting diode (LED) packages, and more particularly arrangements of light-altering coatings in LED packages are disclosed. Exemplary LED packages may include lead frame structures that are at least partially encased by a housing. Arrangements of light-altering coatings may be provided that cover one or more portions of lead frame structures exposed within LED package recesses. By providing light-altering coatings that cover lead frame structures within package recesses, negative impacts from potential lead frame discoloration due to environmental exposure may be reduced. Additionally, such light-altering coatings may be configured to reflect light emissions from LED chips before reaching portions of lead frame structures. Light-altering coating arrangements are disclosed where light-altering coatings are arranged in contact with LED chips or, alternatively, in a spaced relationship with LED chips.

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: Light-emitting diode (LED) packages and more particularly multiple chip LED packages with common electrodes are disclosed. LED packages include lead frame structures with a common electrode for multiple LED chips and other corresponding electrodes separately coupled to individual ones of the LED chips. The common electrode forms an anode or a cathode connection for each of the LED chips. The common electrode includes multiple extensions or pins that separately exit the package to provide separate external electrical connections to the common electrode. The common electrode may provide increased surface area of metal within the LED package to form an improved thermal body for heat dissipation. Multiple pin extensions from the common electrode allow LED packages to maintain a same form factor to be a drop in replacement for existing packages and allow enhanced adhesion with a housing that encases the lead frame structure.
