Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein to secure flexible access to the healthcare information resources (HIR) contained within electronic health records (EHR) systems. By managing access permissions with certified self-sovereign identities and distributed ledger techniques, HIR may be secured. Patients and other users may be registered to access a distributed ledger, such as a healthcare blockchain, employed to set, host and adjudicate permissions to access HIR. Authorized owners and/or patients with rights to their own HIR may be able to grant fine-grained and conditional access permissions to third-parties. Information transfers and transactions occurring according to these permissions may be logged within smart contracts incorporated in the healthcare blockchain.

Abstract: In some examples, the disclosure describes a nano-position stage, an imaging device coupled to the nano-position stage, and a controller comprising instructions to: instruct the imaging device to capture a first image of a subject, instruct the nano-position stage to alter a position of the imaging device a distance based on a pixel size of the first image, instruct the imaging device to capture a second image of the subject at the altered position, and generate a third image of the subject utilizing the first image and the second image.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a display stack comprising at least one layer to generate a digital display image. A front stack includes a position encoded contrast layer to provide a pattern of light in response to non-visible light applied to the position encoded contrast layer. The pattern of light encodes spatial information across a surface of the position encoded contrast layer. A hot mirror reflects the non-visible light applied to the position encoded contrast layer of the front stack and is optically transparent to visible light generated from the display stack.

Abstract: A display includes a display stack to generate a digital display image. A media layer includes a plurality of diffusive emissive elements disposed in a predetermined pattern. The diffusive emissive elements on the media layer emit a scattered signal in response to light incident to the media layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine engine. The rotor blade includes an airfoil, a tip shroud having a side surface and a radially outer surface, and a transition portion coupling the tip shroud to the airfoil. The airfoil, the transition portion, and the tip shroud collectively define a primary cooling passage therein. The primary cooling passage includes a primary cooling passage outlet defined by the side surface of the tip shroud.

Abstract: A method for producing one or more cooling holes in an airfoil for a gas turbine engine is disclosed.
