Abstract: Instances of a single brain computer interface (BCI) system can be implemented on multiple devices. An active instance can control the associated device. The instances can each communicate with a neural decoding system that can receive neural signals from a user, process the neural signals, and output a command based on the processed neural signals. A device running the active instance of can be in communication with the neural decoding system to receive a command. The device can include a display, a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run an instance of a control program; and execute the task based on the command.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a process for producing polymer fibers, typically polyacrylonitrile-based fibers, the properties of which are controlled by certain parameters of the process, such as the amount of jet stretch, the amount of wet stretch, and the amount of hot stretch employed. The present disclosure also relates to a process for producing carbon fiber from such polymer fibers.

Abstract: A folding knife includes first and second scales and a blade having a tang and a cutting edge. The tang pivotally connects the blade between the first and second scales. The blade has a retracted position with the cutting edge between the first and second scales and a deployed position with the cutting edge outside the first and second scales. An actuator between the first and second scales has a first position that locks the blade in the deployed position and a second position that allows movement of the blade between the deployed and retracted positions. A spring is in compression with the actuator between the first and second scales so that the spring biases the actuator toward the tang of the blade. A detent in the actuator engages with the tang when the actuator is in the first position and the blade is in the deployed position.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for direct data transfer. An example method comprises transferring data between a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is a bit vector operation device, and transforming the data using a data transform engine (DTE) by rearranging the data to enable the data to be stored on the first device when transferring the data between the second device and first memory device.

Abstract: A driver for driving a switched-mode power supply is presented. The driver receives a set of input signals. Each input signal is configured for changing a state of an associated power switch from a first state to a second state. The driver generates an output signal to change the state of the associated power switch from the first state to the second state. When the first state is an on state and the second state is an off state, the driver asserts the output signal to change the state of the associated power switch to perform an on-off transition. When the first state is the off state and the second state is the on state, the driver delays the assertion of the output signal to perform an off-on transition by a predetermined delay time, so that the off-on transition is delayed until all intended on-off transitions have occurred.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus comprising a requirement determination unit to determine an energy requirement for a system component. A status determination unit determines status information relating to a plurality of heterogeneous energy stores and actuating system control unit controls an activity of the system component in dependence on the status information relating to the plurality of heterogeneous energy stores and the energy requirement.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of using a compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for example, in the treatment of a mental health disorder or chronic inflammatory disease.

Abstract: A folding knife includes a handle, a first liner inside the handle, and a second liner inside the handle and opposed to the first liner. A blade has a tang and a cutting edge, and the tang of the blade pivotally connects the blade between the first and second liners. The blade has a retracted position in which the cutting edge is inside the handle and a deployed position in which the cutting edge is outside the handle. An actuator is at least partially between the first and second liners, and a spring is between the first and second liners and in compression against the actuator so that the spring biases the actuator toward the tang of the blade.
