Abstract: In general, the disclosure describes sensor including an intermediate band layer including a plurality of dopant particles, wherein the intermediate band layer is configured to absorb a portion of incident electromagnetic radiation comprising a first range of wavelengths greater than 1100 nm and form optically induced minority carriers. The sensor also includes a photo-sensitive silicon substrate configured to detect the electromagnetic radiation comprising a second range of wavelengths less than or equal to 1100 nm.

Abstract: An aspect provides a computer-implemented method for processing computer code. The method comprises receiving a first editable code set. In response to a first signal the method processes the first editable code set into first executable code by a first compiler within a first code processing path generating the first executable code. In response to a second signal the method both processes the first editable code set into a second editable code set, and processes the second editable code set into second executable code by a second compiler within a second code processing path generating the second executable code.

Abstract: An aspect provides a computer-implemented method for operating animation controls associated with an animation control rig. The method comprises determining a node graph used to operate one or more animation controls; receiving an executable code object configured to replace at least two nodes disposed in the node graph at runtime, wherein the executable code object is configured to execute animation control inputs used to control the one or more animation controls at runtime as a single execution block configured to merge at least two data evaluation processes into a single data evaluation process to reduce execution overhead; processing the control data inputs using the executable code object; and operating the one or more animation controls with respect to the single execution instruction in response to the control data inputs.
