Publication number: 20240118537Abstract: Provided herein is a photonic integrated circuit and methods for controlling a photonic integrated circuit that can utilize the resonant frequency of one or more components of the photonic integrated circuit to enhance the response of the circuit. At least one component of the photonic integrated circuit can be driven by an electrical signal whose frequency is substantially equal to the mechanical resonance frequency of the component such that the response of the optical component is increased. The component of the photonic integrated circuit can include a phase shifter that can impart a phase shift on a received optical signal. By driving the phase shifter with an electrical signal that is equal to the mechanical resonance frequency of the optical phase shifter, less power can be required to impart a desired phase shift on a received optical signal. The optical components can be implemented using piezoelectric cantilevers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicants: The MITRE Corporation, Sandia National Laboratories, MIT - Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Mark DONG, Gerald Neal GILBERT, Matthew Scott EICHENFIELD, Dirk Robert ENGLUND

Publication number: 20230145683Abstract: A system and method for encryption key generation by receiving a plaintext message having a fixed character length and receiving, from a source, a plurality of random number. A matrix is created from the plurality random numbers and has at least one of the number of rows or columns equal to or greater than the character length. An array that can be used as an encryption key or a seed for an encryption key is generated by selecting an initial element within the matrix, selecting subsequent elements using a selection technique until a number of elements in the array is equal to the character length and rejecting any previously selected elements from the array.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: QRYPT, INC.Inventors: Denis MANDICH, Christopher KNAPP, Austin BRADLEY, Samuel WOLFSON, Matthew NEAL

Publication number: 20230066112Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to one or more embodiments of mailer package assemblies including a fixed release liner and a mailer package. The fixed release liner is removably or detachably coupled to the mailer package by an adhesive layer. The fixed release liner includes one or more wickets (e.g., openings) such that the fixed release liner may be mounted to a wall by inserting fasteners (e.g., tack(s), pin(s), etc.) into the openings. The mailer package may be removed, detached, or decoupled from the fixed release liner by pulling on the mailer package decoupling the fixed release liner from the mailer package. After the mailer package is removed, an packaging associate may place an item or product within the mailer package to be shipped to a consumer. After the mailer package is removed from the fixed release liner, the fixed release liner remains mounted to the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Paul Matthew Neal, Murray Fullerton, Brian Andrew Kendall, Paul Andrew Frederick, Leslie Nicholas Rogers, JR.

Patent number: 11577107Abstract: A fire exposure protection sprinkler assembly provides fire exposure protection for one or more windows and includes a fire exposure protection sprinkler, a sealing assembly configured to unseal in response to a fire such that fire exposure protection fluid may flow from the fire exposure protection sprinkler, and a housing having a pair of legs, with each of the legs having an aperture. The assembly also includes a deflection assembly configured to extend from the housing due to gravity and activation of a cover plate, with a deflector configured to disperse the fire exposure protection fluid over the one or more windows so as to wet the one or more windows.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LPInventors: Robert Hackett, Sean E Cutting, Narayana Rayapati, Matthew Neal, Manuel R. Silva, Jr.

Publication number: 20220009193Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a shipping container with a corrugated medium that lines an interior pocket of the shipping container as well devices and components (e.g., corrugating rollers, corrugating machines, scoring rollers, and scoring machines) that are utilized to manufacture the shipping containers. The corrugated medium has flutes that cushion, support, and protect a product that is shipped within the shipping container. The corrugated medium may include a first portion with first flutes and a second portion with second flutes that are offset relative to the first flutes. The offset first flutes and second flutes results in peaks of the first flutes nesting within valleys of the second flutes, and peaks of the second flutes nesting within valleys of the first flutes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: James Arne BOSHAW, Paul Matthew NEAL, Brian Andrew KENDALL, Murray FULLERTON
