  • Patent number: 12362140
    Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus and systems for stabilization of a glow discharge from a plasma. Also provided are methods, apparatus and systems for processing optical signals from a stabilised glow plasma with enhanced signal to noise recovery. A first method comprises: generating an electric field within a plasma cell using an alternating excitation voltage to excite particles within the cell, to produce a glow discharge from a plasma in the plasma cell in a resonant condition; monitoring, in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage, one or more signals that correlate with glow discharge optical emissions from the plasma in the plasma cell; and, in response to said monitoring, controlling one or more operating conditions for the plasma cell to maintain the glow discharge emissions from the plasma within a desired operating range in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage.

  • Publication number: 20250225325
    Abstract: An embodiment generates, by analyzing prompts, a prompt template. Each prompt includes a text description of a content to be generated by a model. An embodiment classifies, using a first trained classification model, a variant portion of a prompt into a category in a set of categories. An embodiment selects, from a repository of prompt templates including the prompt template, a selected prompt template having a similarity above a threshold similarity to a first prompt. An embodiment classifies, using the selected prompt template, a variant portion of the first prompt into a first category in the set of categories. An embodiment adjusts, responsive to determining that the first category is designated as a harmful category, the variant portion of the first prompt. An embodiment causes, using the adjusted first prompt, the model to produce a first content.

  • Publication number: 20250213046
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user includes a faceplate, an arm, a bridge, and a base. The bridge is rotatably attached to the faceplate to allow the faceplate to be pivotably adjusted. The bridge includes a hub with first and second hub bodies. Locking pins on the hub bodies slidingly engage pivot adjustment holes in first and second pivot adjustment rings. First and second buttons can be depressed to slide the hub bodies inwardly to separate the locking pins from the pivot adjustment holes to allow the hub to rotate, thereby allowing the faceplate to pivot. When the buttons are released, the hub bodies slide outwardly to insert the locking pins into the same or different pivot adjustment holes to prevent the hub from rotating.

  • Publication number: 20250147330
    Abstract: A time-division multiplexed projection display is pixel shifted to produce an increased perceived display resolution. A polarizing beam splitter (PBS) divides input unpolarized display light into two orthogonal linear polarizations and directs them to two PBS arms. The PBS arms act to shift the light in synchronization with the time-multiplexed display such that a single pixel of the light engine providing the display light is converted into two or four virtual pixels, effectively increasing the perceived display resolution relative to the native resolution of the light engine. The PBS combines the light from both PBS arms into a single, unpolarized output that may then be projected into a lens or a waveguide incoupler to enable the light to propagate through a waveguide for display at a user's eye.

  • Publication number: 20250148446
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting compromise of a plurality of co-located interaction cards; including: receiving interaction information indicating that an interaction has been processed, the interaction information indicating that one of the plurality of co-located interaction cards was used in the interaction, the one of the plurality of co-located interaction cards used in the interaction having limited authorized interaction modalities. Based on a determination that the interaction was processed via an unauthorized modality, it is determined that all of the plurality of co-located interaction cards are potentially compromised. In response to determining that all of the plurality of co-located interaction cards are potentially compromised, corrective actions may be taken including: sending an alert to a cardholder; sending an alert to an issuer of at least one of the plurality of co-located interaction cards; or locking each of the plurality of co-located interaction cards.
