Abstract: A catheter comprises an imaging core, an inner sheath enclosing the imaging core, an outer sheath surrounding the inner sheath, and a flexible membrane arranged on the outer sheath and configured to deflect in response to intravascular pressure. At least part of the inner sheath and part of the outer sheath are nested within each other. A chamber is defined by the membrane, and the parts of the inner and outer sheaths that are nested within each other. The chamber provides a space into which the membrane is deflected when surrounded by fluids. A processor controls the imaging core to acquire pressure data by scanning the membrane with light transmitted through the chamber, and to acquire image data by scanning a vessel wall with light transmitted through the inner sheath. If the membrane breaks, the chamber prevents fluids from entering the imaging core, and the catheter continues acquiring image data.

Abstract: Methods and systems concerning demultiplexing and multiplexing light in optical multiplexing systems are disclosed herein. An optical multiplexing system may include a number of light emitters and a number of associated waveguides.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for locking rack-mounted electronic devices within a rack upon removal of one of the electronic devices from the rack. The apparatus includes a shaft rotatably connected to the rack and provided at each slot position with a set of paddles, including a locking paddle and a trigger paddle. With the rack populated with devices, the removal of one device from a slot causes a block attached to the device to urge against a trigger paddle, which rotates the shaft. As the shaft continues to rotate, with the motion of the block caused by the removal of the device, the locking paddle for each slot is rotated into a position such that an attempt to remove any of the other devices from the rack causes the associated block to abut the locking paddle, which does not yield.

Abstract: A carbon capture system includes two carbon capture plates. A first carbon capture plate collects carbon dioxide from a flow of ambient air. A second carbon capture plate releases carbon dioxide upon application of heat from a heat exchanger. The heat is exhaust heat from a data center. The first carbon capture plate and the second carbon capture plate are rotatable between the capture and release positions. The carbon capture system uses the waste heat from a data center to collect and store atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby reducing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A precision steering computer installed on a tractor uses waypoints generated by a hand-held smart-device to steer a tractor. The smart-device is the operators primary interface and is a component of the entire precision agriculture guidance system. The batched, time ordered waypoints represent a list of coordinates for steering the tractor. As the tractor is automatically steered in the field, the waypoints are consumed and discarded by the real-time steering computer in the order they are received from the non-real-time smart device. A planned path is generated by the tractor operator on the smart device and the tractors progress and status are displayed on the same smart-device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for haze reduction are provided. The disclosed technology can include generating feature vectors based on an input image including points. The feature vectors can correspond to feature windows associated with features of different portions of the points. Based on the feature vectors and a machine-learned model, a haze thickness map can be generated. The haze thickness map can be associated with an estimate of haze thickness at each of the points. Further, the machine-learned model can estimate haze thickness associated with the features. A refined haze thickness map can be generated based on the haze thickness map and a guided filter. A dehazed image can be generated based on application of the refined haze thickness map to the input image. Furthermore, a color corrected dehazed image can be generated based on performance of color correction operations on the dehazed image.
