Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure relate to a system for adjusting a focus of an image. A system includes a phased metalens configured to adjust a focus of an image detected by an imaging substrate of an image sensor to compensate for warpage of the imaging substrate. The phased metalens can achieve a near-diffraction-limited focusing over incoming light wavelengths using precisely defined nanoscale subwavelength resolution structures.

Abstract: An aftertreatment system for treating an exhaust gas comprises an exhaust conduit, a preheating oxidation catalyst, a primary oxidation catalyst disposed downstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst, and a selective catalytic reduction system disposed in the exhaust conduit downstream of the primary oxidation catalyst. A controller is configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust gas at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system. In response to the temperature being below a threshold temperature, the controller generates a hydrocarbon insertion signal configured to cause hydrocarbons to be inserted into or upstream of the preheating oxidation catalyst so as to increase a temperature of the exhaust gas to above the threshold temperature.

Abstract: A pre-event connectome of a subject brain is accessed, the pre-event connectome defining i) first functional nodes in the subject brain and ii) first edges that represent connections between the first functional nodes before the subject has undergone an event. A post-event connectome of the subject brain is accessed, the post-event connectome defining i) second functional nodes in the subject brain and ii) second edges that represent connections between the second functional nodes after the subject has undergone the event. A connectome-difference map data is generated that records the difference between the pre-event connectome and the post-event connectome. An action is taken based on the connectome-difference map data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described that enable radar detection prioritization based on downstream feedback. As a vehicle is traveling in a travel corridor, radar detections are received by a processor and feedback related to a downstream function is received from another processor that is executing the downstream function. For the radar detections that are determined to be within the travel corridor, respective priorities are assigned based on locations of the radar detections and the feedback related to the downstream function. The radar detections with the assigned priorities are then stored in a detection buffer along with indications of their respective assigned priorities. In this way, the detection buffer may be optimized for the downstream function by filtering out certain detections and prioritizing others. Consequently, computational loads on the downstream function are reduced while ensuring that important detections are received by the downstream function early.

Abstract: fMRI data of a subject brain is accessed and may include a plurality of time-sequenced volumetric images of activity in a subject brain. A plurality of emotion vectors are accessed, each emotion vector tagged with a specified emotional state. From the fMRI data and using the emotion vectors, a plurality of fMRI state vectors are determined at various points in time, where each fMRI state vector is a combination of the emotion vectors and represents the state of the subject brain at a particular point in time. Flow data is determined to identify a trajectory, over time, of the subject brain as reflected by the fMRI data, through a state space defined by the emotion vectors, where the flow data is based at least in part on the fMRI vectors at various points in time. From the flow data, data is generated that shows changes, through time, in at least one emotional state of the brain.

Abstract: Techniques are described for learning an unknown virtual network information, such as an virtual Internet Protocol (IP) address, of a pod in a virtual network. In some examples, a virtual router executing at a computing device may receive an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packet from a virtual execution element in the virtual network, the virtual execution element executing at the computing device. The virtual router may determine, based at least in part on the ARP packet, whether virtual network information for the virtual execution element in a virtual network is known to the virtual router. The virtual router may, in response to determining that the virtual network information of the virtual execution element in the virtual network is not known to the virtual router, perform learning of the virtual network information for the virtual execution element.
