  • Publication number: 20250053081
    Abstract: A method of imprint lithography mold defect mitigation and a masked imprint lithography mold employ a masking layer to selectively cover a surface defect. The method of imprint lithography mold defect mitigation includes depositing a masking layer on a surface of an imprint lithography mold to selectively cover a defect on the surface and form a masked imprint lithography mold. The method of imprint lithography mold defect mitigation further includes forming a negative imprint lithography mold from the masked imprint lithography mold. The masked imprint lithography mold includes an imprint lithography mold having a surface with a defect and a patterned masking layer affixed to the surface and configured to selectively cover the defect. The patterned masking layer that selectively covers the defect is configured to mitigate an effect of the defect when the masked imprint lithography mold is employed in imprint lithography.

  • Publication number: 20250035599
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aligning gas chromatography peaks are disclosed. An example method includes receiving chromatographic data of a user that includes data representing at least one volatile organic compound (VOC), and analyzing the chromatographic data using a trained peak alignment model to output a set of peak match probabilities. The trained peak alignment model may be trained using a plurality of chromatographic data to output a plurality of peak match probabilities. The example method may further include generating a set of identified VOCs between the chromatographic data and a set of reference VOCs by applying a post-processing algorithm to the set of peak match probabilities; and causing the set of identified VOCs to be displayed to the user.

  • Patent number: 12145628
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for the generation of a driving difficulty heat map for autonomous vehicles. For instance, log data generated by a vehicle being driven in a manual driving mode for a segment of a route may be input into a disengage model in order to generate an output identifying a likelihood of a vehicle driving in an autonomous driving mode requiring a disengage from the autonomous driving mode along the segment of the route. The log data may have been collected within a geographic area. A grid for the geographic area may be generated. The grid may include a plurality of cells. The output is assigned to one of the plurality of cells. The plurality of cells and assigned output may be used to generate a driving difficulty heat map for the geographic area.

  • Patent number: 11491412
    Abstract: A toy vehicle booster is presented herein. The toy vehicle booster includes a booster assembly that is integrated into a lid of a track storage container so that the toy vehicle booster forms a portion of a storage container for a track set. In some instances, the booster assembly includes a first booster and a second booster. The first booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a first pathway and the second booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a second pathway. In at least some of these embodiments, at least the second booster may be reversible so that the second booster can accelerate toy vehicles along the second pathway in a first direction or a second direction opposite the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9209827
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a component calculator configured to compute at least one component value of a highly programmable analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from at least one application parameter, and a mapping module configured to map the component value to a corresponding register setting of the ADC based on at least one process parameter, wherein the integrated circuit produces digital control signals capable of programming the ADC. In a specific embodiment, the component calculator uses an algebraic function of a normalized representation of the application parameter to approximately evaluate at least one normalized ADC coefficient. The component value is further calculated by decimalizing the normalized ADC coefficient. In another specific embodiment, the component calculator uses an algebraic function of the application parameter to calculate the component value.
