Abstract: A system for use in an aerospace environment includes an array of storage drives each comprising a non-radiation-hardened drive controller, a non-radiation-hardened, non-volatile, storage medium, and a non-radiation-hardened volatile memory. The system includes a radiation-tolerant storage controller coupled to the array. The storage controller provides failure-resistant data redundancy among the storage drives of the array. The system includes a bus host that accesses the array via the storage controller. The storage controller implements security logic and a root-of-trust that provides to the bus host verification of authenticity of the radiation tolerant storage controller and the storage drives.

Abstract: A method of training a neural network for home improvement visualization is disclosed. The method may include receiving a set of annotated images of houses to train the neural network, augmenting the set of annotated images of houses to generate additional annotated images of houses for the neural network, processing the annotates images of houses and the additional annotated images of houses to train the neural network, refining the set of annotated images of houses by detecting the edges elements in the images and adjusting the annotations based on the edge detection, and outputting a trained neural network.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a sensing device including a sensor die attached to a header. The header has a first working surface composed of a first one or more electrically conductive pads and a bulk of the header. The sensor die has a second working surface and a third surface reverse of the second working surface. The sensor die includes a sensing element on the second working surface, and the third surface of the sensor die is composed of a second one or more electrically conductive pads and a dielectric layer. The first one or more electrically conductive pads of the header contact the second one or more electrically conductive pads of the sensor die, and the bulk of the header at the first working surface of the header contacts the dielectric layer of the third surface of the sensor die.

Abstract: A device includes a resonator having an oscillating portion with dimensions chosen to lead to a desired resonant frequency. A light source is positioned to provide light along the length of the oscillating portion at a specific wave length. A detector detects a change in oscillation of the resonator responsive to the wave pressure produced by the light source heating a gas. The light source is modulated with a frequency the same as the resonant frequency of the resonator.

The sensor includes a conductive substrate having side-walls; a dielectric layer overlaying a first surface of the conductive substrate, the dielectric layer including a gate dielectric having a first thickness and a field dielectric having a second thickness; a sensing layer overlaying a first surface of the gate dielectric; a non-conductive carrier wherein a second surface of the conductive substrate overlays a portion of the non-conductive carrier; and an insulating layer conformally coating at least the side-walls of the conductive substrate, wherein a first surface of the sensing layer is uncoated by the insulating layer.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a patterned aerogel-based layer that serves as a mold for at least part of a microelectromechanical feature. The density of an aerogel is less than that of typical materials used in MEMS fabrication, such as poly-silicon, silicon oxide, single-crystal silicon, metals, metal alloys, and the like. Therefore, one may form structural features in an aerogel-based layer at rates significantly higher than the rates at which structural features can be formed in denser materials. The invention further includes a method of patterning an aerogel-based layer to produce such an aerogel-based mold. The invention further includes a method of fabricating a microelectromechanical feature using an aerogel-based mold. This method includes depositing a dense material layer directly onto the outline of at least part of a microelectromechanical feature that has been formed in the aerogel-based layer.

Abstract: Illuminated poster frame with a frame box including a front frame, side panels and a rear panel, the frame box including a front clear panel. The top panel of the frame box has a slit to removably retain an inner frame that houses a poster. The inner frame has a front frame portion and a rear frame portion to removably retain the poster. The poster is printed on transparent of translucent material capable of transmitting light so that the entire poster is illuminated. The inside of the frame box includes a formed sheet having a plurality of recesses that each retains an amber LED. A translucent sheet placed in front of the LED holding sheet diffuses the light emanating from the LED's. A power source such as a battery supply or a wall pack transformer powers the LED's.
