Abstract: Quantum dot devices with three of more accumulation gates provided over a single row of a quantum dot formation region are disclosed. Each accumulation gate is electrically coupled to a respective doped region. In this manner, multiple single electron transistors (SETs) are provided along the row. Side and/or center screening gates may be used to apply microwave pulses for qubit control and to control electrostatics so that source and drain regions of the multiple SETs with quantum dots formed along the single row of a quantum dot formation region are sufficiently isolated from one another. Such quantum dot devices provide strong spatial localization of the quantum dots, good control over quantum dot interactions and manipulation, good scalability in the number of quantum dots included in the device, and/or design flexibility in making electrical connections to the quantum dot devices to integrate the quantum dot devices in larger computing devices.

Abstract: A system for urban air mobility monitors flight separation for compliance with a safe separation distance. A reference formation airspace is established for a reference air taxi based on minimum longitudinal, lateral and vertical parameters. When penetration of the reference formation airspace is detected, a penetration airspace is established. A centroid of the penetration airspace is determined and a target separation to the centroid is supplied to the air taxi to reestablish safe separation. The extent of separation is also safely contained by the presence of virtual air taxis whose positions on the periphery of the penetrated airspace serve to limit potential penetration of surrounding air taxi air spaces.

Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction between different parameters of an aircraft flight. Specific applications effectively support improved flight safety and greater fuel efficiency. Proxy values of flight metrics are defined and scaled so the axes of the array contain corresponding indicators resulting in a matched array and an embedded, unique alignment vector showing the relationships between different flight variables. The flight alignment system may be used with flight data that contain discontinuities and nonlinear reversions. Wherever values intersect, flight alignment system indicators can depict proximity to the alignment vector, as well as the direction and extent of adjustments to either or both selected flight metrics to achieve and maintain controlled flight.

Abstract: A module-based framework evaluates designs of advanced start stop systems, particularly 12 V advanced start stop systems. The framework separates vehicle and battery analysis and uses a power profile to evaluate different designs of the vehicles and batteries. Particularly, the framework can evaluate different battery solutions and compare performances as a function of drive cycles, motor size, and electrical loads. In addition to modeling, actual batteries are tested for the same power inputs for validating performance differences. This framework identifies performance limiting components for determination of the vehicle system component optimization.
