Abstract: An oscillator includes dual resonators mounted in a helium filled coldweld holder. One resonator operates at anti-resonance into a load capacitance of about 20 picofarads, and operates on a third overtone frequency under noncontrolled temperature conditions. The other resonator operates on a fundamental mode at anti-resonance in a load capacitance of about 32 picofarads. Resonator crystals in a dual-crystal resonator may include a theta-angle shift to equalize frequency versus temperature curves at temperature extremes.

Abstract: The present technology provides spontaneous capillary flow devices for patterning walls on a hydrophilic substrate. In some embodiments, the devices include rails having a first end portion for receiving a flowable material, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a base portion having a flow surface extending between the first end portion and the second end portion. The flow surface can face the hydrophilic substrate and define a flow path. When the flowable material is released into the first end portion, the flowable material flows via spontaneous capillary flow from the first end portion to the second end portion along the flow path to create a partition on the hydrophilic substrate.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A system and method for real-time detection of anomalies in database or application usage is disclosed. Embodiments provide a mechanism to detect anomalies in database or application usage, such as data exfiltration attempts, first by identifying correlations (e.g., patterns of normalcy) in events across different heterogeneous data streams (such as those associated with ordinary, authorized and benign database usage, workstation usage, user behavior or application usage) and second by identifying deviations/anomalies from these patterns of normalcy across data streams in real-time as data is being accessed. An alert is issued upon detection of an anomaly, wherein a type of alert is determined based on a characteristic of the detected anomaly.

Abstract: A plurality of PWM generators have user configurable time delay circuits for each PWM control signal generated therefrom. The time delay circuits are adjusted so that each of the PWM control signals arrive at their associated power transistors at the same time. This may be accomplished by determining a maximum delay time of the PWM control signal that has to traverse the longest propagation time and then setting the delay for that PWM control signal to substantially zero delay. Thereafter, all other delay time settings for the other PWM control signals may be determined by subtracting the propagation time for each of the other PWM control signals from the longest propagation time. Thereby insuring that all of the PWM control signals arrive at their respective power transistor control nodes with substantially the same time relationships as when they left their respective PWM generators.
