Abstract: Techniques for designing and optimization of solid/cellular structures are described using a modeling process referred to as high-definition cellular level set in B-splines (HD-CUBS). With this process, the entire design domain for the solid/cellular structure in question is subdivided into a set of connected volumetric cells in three dimensions. An implicit trivariate B-spline function is defined on each subdomain cell. With this parameterization scheme, constraints can be imposed on the relevant B-spline coefficients to naturally maintain geometric continuities at the connection faces between neighboring cells. The method offers several useful properties and powerful functionalities to build and modify a solid/cellular structure in the modeling process and to conduct topology optimization by directly adjusting the B-spline coefficients. The model construction can be carried out using a fast B-spline interpolation, and the topology optimization can involve a sequence of discrete B-spline convolutions.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods of fabricating waveguide structures with gratings having front angles less than about 45° and back angles less than about 45°. The methods include imprinting stamps into nanoimprint resists disposed on substrates. The nanoimprint resists are subjected to a cure process. The stamps are released from the nanoimprint resist at a release angle ? using a release method. The nanoimprint resists are subjected to an anneal process to form a waveguide structure comprising a plurality of gratings with a front angle ? and a back angle ? relative to a second plane of the surface of the substrate less than about 45°.

In one embodiment, a waveguide structure having an input grating structure and an output grating structure is fabricated and a spacer material is deposited on the waveguide. The spacer material is etched from various portions of the waveguide structure and a high refractive index material is deposited on the waveguide. Portions of the spacer material remaining on the waveguide structure are removed leaving the high refractive index material disposed on desired surfaces of the waveguide structure.

Abstract: The system provides a method of storing the financial data of a consumer in a lockbox on a blockchain. The financial data is written to a lockbox by a writer (e.g. credit bureau, financial institution, data provider). The data is read by a reader (e.g. lender, investor, and the like). The blockchain technology provides security and auditing so that the information can be trusted, and any modifications can be identified and confirmed. The lockbox comprises a smart contract and SMPC group participants.
