Publication number: 20230253164Abstract: A capacitor may be configured with a dielectric laminate disposed on ordered or non-ordered structures. Materials for the dielectric laminate have high dielectric constant and reduce leakage current to increase breakdown voltage of the device. These materials may include titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). In one implementation, the capacitor may reside on a substrate. The capacitor may have structure (e.g., nano-tubes, nano-holes, etc;) disposed on the substrate having a surface area greater than the surface area of the substrate and a laminate conformally coating the structure, the laminate comprising a first layer and a second layer with materials that configure the capacitor with an energy density of at least 60 Wh/Kg.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: James N. Turner, Tara Prasad Dhakal, Ganesh Sainadh Gudavalli, Pravakar Prasad Rajbhandari

Patent number: 11290371Abstract: Embodiments including methods, systems, and apparatuses for distributing, processing, and reacting to path information distributed via a service-agnostic packet fabric for the purpose of enabling path selection are disclosed. By configuring two ingress line cards to send path quality words to each other via the switch fabric, compare the path quality words, and determine whether to transmit traffic to an egress line card via the switch fabric based on the comparison of the path quality words, the embodiments enable a central switch fabric to be unaware of the paths that it carries, and enable both ingress and egress bandwidth of the switch fabric to be sized according to the facilities for which it is terminating. The switch fabric does not need to support working and protection paths simultaneously in some embodiments, allowing it to be scaled appropriately to termination facilities.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Coriant Operations, Inc.Inventors: Bradley R. Kangas, Anoop J. Mathew, Jai Harpalani, James N. Turner, Mark A. Richmond, Kenneth S. Mizialko

Patent number: 8701469Abstract: A sensor system utilizing flexible electronics for on-line real-time high-sensitivity sampling, monitoring, and analysis of a parameter or analyte of interest in a fluid or in or on a solid is provided. The flexible substrate sensor system comprises a plurality of sensors, a flexible substrate, a network, and a connection between the sensors and the network, wherein the network reads out or collects information from the sensors. The network can be onboard, connected by via a physical connection to the sensors and the flexible substrate, or external to the sensors and flexible substrate, connected via a telemetric or wireless connection to the sensors. The flexible substrate sensor system can be deployed in systems that conduct or distribute fluids or solids, such as distribution systems (municipal water systems, oil or gas pipeline systems), industrial systems (production facilities, piping, and storage systems), and large structures (dams, bridges, walkways, buildings).Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignees: Cornell University, Health Research, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Kemper Ober, Thomas Denis O'Rourke, Michael G.

Patent number: 7072515Abstract: A method for rapid, fully automatic, two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) tracing of line-structure images, such as images of neurons produced by fluorescence confocal microscopy. A method of recursively following the line-structure topology, guided by the correlation response of a set of 4×N2 directional kernels in the 3-D case, and a set of 2×N directional kernels in the 2-D case, is presented. These kernels are derived based on a generalized cylinder model of the line-structures. The automatic tracing method includes a protocol for determining the ends of line-structures.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2002Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteInventors: Khalid Al-Kofahi, Badrinath Roysam, James N.
