Abstract: A multi-focal light-sheet structured illumination system that can be implemented as a part of a commercial fluorescence microscope or a module that is adaptable to fit a number of commercially available microscopes. The system provides simultaneous capture of 2D images from multiple planes within a 3D volume, which are resolved laterally and axially to provide improved resolution along the three dimensions (x,y,z). A Wollaston prism allows several axially-localized high-contrast structured illumination patterns to be generated.

Also described are methods of forming the single-crystal chiral liquid crystal compositions.

Abstract: A vehicle analysis system provides an automatic license plate recognition module that receives image data from an ALPR camera detecting a license plate of a target vehicle. A context camera module of the system receives image data from a context camera capturing image data of the target vehicle. A geographical data module of the system can access map image data including a plurality of map definitions associated with a plurality of restricted zones. An artificial intelligence model and/or algorithm combines portions of each of the ALPR image data, the context camera image data, and the map image data, and uses the combined data for determining a location of the target vehicle in relation to at least one restricted zone.

Abstract: A heads-up display includes a thin-film transistor (TFT) panel, along with at least one reflective polarizer subassembly. Each of the at least one reflective polarizer subassembly includes a clear substrate having opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface is connected to the TFT panel, and the second surface has a polarizing film laminated thereto. The first surface of the clear substrate is textured, frosted, or the like such that when it is attached to the TFT panel it inhibits bonding between the clear substrate and the TFT panel that would cause optical defects.

Abstract: A wearable, open and adjustable MRI head coil system having an assembly of support members, panels, or portions defining one or more access openings. The support members, panels, or portions can support, house, or otherwise include radiofrequency receiver antennae or imaging coils such that the assembly is positionable or wearable by a patient for MRI scanning.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a set of actual hardware power consumption details and a set of software activity details with all of the details pertaining to the use of a computer system at a first time. Based on the set of software activity details, the approach determines a set of expected hardware power consumption details. The set of actual hardware power consumption details are compared to the set of expected hardware power consumption details. If the comparison identifies variances between the actual and expected data, then a security threat is flagged and threat responses are performed.
