Abstract: Systems and computer software are disclosed for AR devices having a display configured to display augmented, mixed, or virtual reality images to a user. The AR devices can comprise displaying a virtual control panel on the display, with the virtual control panel comprising a depicting of one or more targets. An output of an emission device that is intended to be directed to the one or more targets can be rendered. The AR device can also allow controlling, by the user based on input received by user interaction with the virtual control panel, one or more operations of the emission device.

Abstract: Topological qubits are provided in a quantum spin liquid. In various embodiments, a device is provided comprising a two-dimensional array of particles, each particle disposed at a vertex of a ruby lattice having a parameter ? greater than 1 2 ; each particle having a first state and an excited state; each particle that belongs to at least three unit cells of the ruby lattice having a blockade radius, when in the excited state, sufficient to blockade each of at least six nearest neighboring particles in the ruby lattice from transitioning from its first state to its excited state, and wherein the array has at least one outer edge configured to be in a first boundary condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate to arranging atoms into 1D and/or 2D arrays; exciting the atoms into Rydberg states and evolving the array of atoms, for example, using laser manipulation techniques and high-fidelity laser systems described herein; and observing the resulting final state. In addition, refinements can be made, such as providing high fidelity and coherent control of the assembled array of atoms. Exemplary problems can be solved using the systems and methods for arrangement and control of atoms.

Abstract: A system for preventing the formation of ice or removing ice from an undercarriage or roof of an automotive vehicle such as a truck or a trailer. The system comprises a combination of a network of a plurality of conductive heating elements. The system can be implemented on the undercarriage or roof without altering the configuration of the undercarriage or roof by attaching the system to a deck and cross beams of the undercarriage or roof. The system is powered by an auxiliary power unit and controlled by a thermostatic controller.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and compositions for generating a high-resolution spatial map of a distribution of targets of a sample are described. Processes for generating the spatial map can include: receiving the sample at a substrate having a distribution of functionalized particles, each having a stochastic barcode sequence paired with a position on the substrate; promoting interactions between the distribution of targets of the sample and the distribution of functionalized particles upon transmitting heat to a surface of the substrate opposite the distribution of functionalized particles; applying a set of reactions to the sample at the substrate, obtaining a set of sequences of a population of molecules generated from the set of reactions, the set of sequences associated with the distribution of targets labeled using the stochastic barcode sequences of the distribution of functionalized particles, and returning a set of positions of the distribution of targets upon processing the set of sequences.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a microenvironment within an ambient environment is disclosed. The first outlet is configured for expelling a gas at a first velocity sufficient for producing a gas curtain that separates the microenvironment from the ambient environment. The second outlet is configured for expelling the gas at a second velocity within the microenvironment. An inlet is spaced apart from the first outlet and the second outlet and is in fluid communication with a suction unit. The suction unit is positioned downstream of the inlet and configured for removing gas from the microenvironment through the inlet. The first velocity is greater than the second velocity.

Abstract: A system for optically modulating a plurality of optical channels includes a power delivery module adapted to convert a coherent light beam into a plurality of optical channels, at least one optical modulator, optically coupled to the power delivery module, the at least one optical modulator adapted to optically modulate each of the plurality of the optical channels, and a vacuum chamber having a trapping plane therein, the vacuum chamber adapted to generate an addressable array of trapped particles at the trapping plane, wherein each of the plurality of optical channels is optically coupled to at least one of the trapped particles of the addressable array.

Abstract: A method of generating uniform large-scale optical focus arrays (LOT As) with a phase spatial light modulator includes identifying and removing undesired phase rotation in the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA), thereby producing computer-generated holograms of highly uniform LOT As using a reduced number of iterations as compared to a weighted Gerch-berg-Saxton algorithm. The method also enables a faster compensation of optical system-induced LOT A intensity inhomogeneity than the conventional IFTA.

Abstract: A method and an integrated software system is provided to manage, visualize and analyze geospatial data distributed across a network of computer servers. A plurality of servers, each executing specific software applications for performing various tasks, are integrated with one another so as to provide distributed processing of data mining and image data. A client computer is used to initiate a query request. The request is sent to at least one of the plurality of servers. The plurality of servers, through distributed processing, process the request. At least one of the plurality of servers returns a response to the query in the form at least one data set. The client computer then renders an image from the data set. In a further embodiment, multiple data sets are received from one or more of servers. The client computer then renders an image from the multiple data sets.

Abstract: A conversion tool is disclosed herein for modifying a video cassette so that it will be accepted for playback by a special video recorder which includes a base plate with a pedestal in a critical corner location mounting a manually operated drill wherein the drill tip projects through the plate projecting from the undersurface thereof for a predetermined distance. The undersurface includes a plurality of guide posts depending therefrom against which a conventional video cassette is located in order to receive the drill tip. An identification hole is made in the cassette housing for subsequent sensing by mechanism in the video recorder.
