Abstract: A method includes receiving, with a processor in communication with a first exercise machine, a first request for an exercise class, the first request being provided by a first user of the first exercise machine. The method also includes providing a video file associated with the exercise class to the first exercise machine, providing a notification to a second user indicating that the first user has chosen to participate in the exercise class, and receiving a second request for the exercise class provided by the second user. The method further includes providing the video file to a second exercise machine of the second user via the network. In such a method, display of the video file via a display of the second exercise machine is synchronized with display of the video file via a display of the first exercise machine.

Abstract: A heterostructure with reduced optical losses is disclosed. The heterostructure includes a set of n-type layers; an active region that generates radiation at a peak emitted wavelength; and a set of p-type layers located adjacent to the active region. A reflective structure can be located adjacent to the set of p-type layers. A thickness of the set of p-type layers can be configured to promote constructive interference of the reflected radiation with radiation emitted by the active region in a direction toward the set of n-type layers.

Abstract: A substrate includes structures formed on a growth surface of the substrate. The structures are formed in a multi-periodic pattern, which includes a first plurality of groups of structures. Each group of structures has a characteristic spacing between adjacent structures in the group. Each group of structures is separated from an adjacent group of structures by a second characteristic spacing. The second characteristic spacing is at least 1.5 times larger than the first characteristic spacing.

Abstract: A solution for fabricating a semiconductor structure and the corresponding semiconductor structure are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a plurality of semiconductor layers grown over a substrate using a set of epitaxial growth periods. During each epitaxial growth period, a first semiconductor layer having one of: a tensile stress or a compressive stress is grown followed by growth of a second semiconductor layer having the other of: the tensile stress or the compressive stress directly on the first semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A standup paddleboard outrigger includes a long, narrow, lightweight displacement hull and a pair of outrigger pontoons mounted to a bridge. The two parts disengage for easy storage and transport. The hull has a platform to stand on. Paddling with a long handled paddle propels the craft through the water. The outriggers provide lateral stability/support and actuate the rudder in order to make turns. When a person stands on the platform and shifts body weight, the rudder will rotate to the right and the craft will turn to the right. The more weight that is shifted, the greater the turning action. The responsiveness to the shift of body weight can be adjustable for personal preference either firmer or more flexible, as is the turning response of the rudder fine or coarse turning.

Abstract: An electronic device structure comprises a substrate layer of semi-insulating AlxGayInzN, a first layer comprising AlxGayInzN, a second layer comprising Alx?Gay?Inz?N, and at least one conductive terminal disposed in or on any of the foregoing layers, with the first and second layers being adapted to form a two dimensional electron gas is provided. A thin (<1000 nm) III-nitride layer is homoepitaxially grown on a native semi-insulating III-V substrate to provide an improved electronic device (e.g., HEMT) structure.
