Abstract: An integrated circuit apparatus includes a substrate and a well contact that is disposed on the substrate. The well contact includes first and second source/drain structures that are disposed on the substrate; a metal vertical portion that contacts the substrate immediately between the first and second source/drain structures; inner spacers that electrically insulate the vertical portion from the adjacent source/drain structures; bottom dielectric isolation that electrically insulates the source/drain structures from the substrate; and a well portion that is embedded into the substrate in registry with the vertical portion. The well portion is doped differently than the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and process for updating a marked image file. The system and process seeks a marker that is inertly placed in an image file such that the marker is nonconforming to file type schema and is positioned within an image file such that the rendered image is not contorted. File activity related to the marked image file is tracked.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and process for analyzing a marked image file. The system and process seeks a marker that is inertly placed in an image file such that the marker is nonconforming to file type schema and is positioned within an image file such that the rendered image is not contorted. File activity related to the marked image file is tracked and updated as required by a user.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and process for inserting a marker inertly within an image file. The marker is inert in that it is nonconforming to file type schema and is positioned within an image file such that the rendered image is not contorted. File activity related to the marked image file is tracked.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system for monitoring the transmission of digital files across a secured boundary of a private ecosystem. Because an application programming interface making calls to a web application platform controls the placement of security tokens, distinct programs on devices from which transmissions originate, or are bound, to place and update tokens is generally obviated.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to security systems that utilize electromagnetic radiation. The security system includes an authentication security document, an authentication system, and a process for authenticating security documents. The security document includes a document body with an RFID and body information pertinent to the security document. The RFID inlay includes a radiopaque material or other material that is opaque to ranges of electromagnetic radiation. The authentication system for secured documents includes an electromagnetic scanning device, a document with a document body, and the RFID device. The scanning device includes a secured device inlet suitable to accept the document body and a display that shows the results of the electromagnetic bombardment of the document body. The process for authenticating security documents includes positioning within the scanning device the security document to create a radiated image thereof that displays the inlay information.

Abstract: A method and system for providing fast interrogation of a signal received from a fiber optic sensor array using a low drive voltage, by modulating the array signal with a phase generated carrier optical signal having an odd harmonic modulation frequency, sending it to an interferometric system, and demodulating the array signal using a demodulation algorithm that is independent of the phase offset. A detector using direct detection method can be used to determine the signal's phase information. The odd harmonic modulation method allows the selection of a desirable odd harmonic PGC frequency with low drive voltage while providing similar performance of the usual PGC frequency that requires a higher drive voltage.

Abstract: At least two light beams with polarization diversity are generated that each carry a representation of the same information. Separate optic fibers carry each of the at least two beams through a region subject to vibration to a remote location where the information is recovered by an optical receiver based on the separate light beams. Using separate fibers to carry polarization diverse information minimizes polarization noise at the optical receiver due to vibration of the fibers.

Abstract: Embodiments of present system encompass: a plurality of laser sources that produce a plurality of respectively different optical wavelengths; a matrix switch having a plurality of inputs operatively coupled to the plurality of laser sources, each of the plurality of inputs receiving a respective optical wavelength; and the matrix switch having an output that produces a series of interleaved pulses of the different optical wavelengths.

Abstract: A system and method for processing sonar information from an underwater hydrophone array, at frequencies having wavelengths less than two times a spacing between adjacent hydrophones. The method and system all for processing received underwater waveforms at high frequency limits beyond the mechanical limits of the array.

Abstract: The invention pertains to the design of polymer or molded part that can be used for pallets or decking material. A pallet having a plurality of pallet sections each composed of interlocking tubular elements defined by top and bottom surfaces. The interlocking find overlapping sections provide a continuous surface in immovable assembly. The edge of the top surface of one tubular section has a flange that protrudes from it that fits in a corresponding groove of an adjacent tubular section so as to provide a flat connected surface. At least two tubular elements are located next to one another with collinear edges and are oriented in the same direction to support loads on top and bottom surfaces and resist bending. The modular design of the tubular sections allows for the continuous structure to be divided into several regions for ease of repair or serviceability.

Abstract: An energy absorbing device includes an energy absorber element having a plurality of elongated hollow hexagonal cells. The cells are arranged in a block shape with first and second layers interconnected by an intermediate plate. The intermediate plate closes adjacent ends of the first and second layers and forms three-sided pyramidal structures which project into each individual cell of the first and second layers. Each pyramidal structure has an apex located near the center of each cell. The energy absorber element is deformable under impact loading conditions to absorb and dissipate energy. Upon the removal of the impact load the energy absorber element returns to its original shape.
