Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices of detecting illness in presymptomatic and asymptomatic infected persons using wearable sensor technology. In a first embodiment, a method is implemented on a computing device, the method includes receiving first sensor data associated with the person over a first period of time and applying the first sensor data to a multi-variate detection model. The method further includes receiving second sensor data associated with the person over a second period of time and applying the second sensor data to the multi-variate detection model. Further the method includes determining a probability value of the illness in the person using the multi-variate detection model and transmitting the probability value to a user interface (UI).

Abstract: A corrosion sensor system includes one or more corrosion sensors embedded in a coating material such as an anti-corrosion coating material. Each corrosion sensor may include a resonator disposed on a dielectric substrate, and has a resonant frequency in a radio frequency (RF) range or an infrared (IR) range, and is configured for interacting with an RF or IR excitation signal to produce an RF or IR measurement signal. The corrosion sensor system may be applied to an object for which corrosion is to be monitored. A corrosion detection system includes a data acquisition system that transmits the excitation signal to the corrosion sensor, and receives the measurement signal from the corrosion sensor for analysis to determine whether corrosion has occurred.

Abstract: An electronic package includes an adhesion layer between a first substrate and a second substrate. The adhesion layer is patterned to define openings aligned with through-substrate interconnects and corresponding bond pads. A conductive plane is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, adjacent to the adhesion layer.

Abstract: A flexible electronic assembly includes a flexible current-carrying device, an electrically insulating flexible substrate, and an electronic device embedded in the substrate. The electronic device is mounted face-down on the current-carrying device such that a contact side or component side of the electronic device faces the current-carrying device and is positioned at an interface between the current-carrying device and the substrate. The current-carrying device, substrate, and electronic device are co-planar at the interface. This configuration enables the flexible electronic assembly to have an ultra-thin thickness, for example on the order of micrometers.
