Abstract: An information handling system includes a camera, a neutral density (ND) filter, and a processor. The camera captures video images for display on a display device of the information handling system. The processor communicates with the camera. The processor determines a brightness level of an ambient light and a first shutter speed of the camera. The processor sets a stop level for the ND filter based on the brightness level of the ambient light and the first shutter speed. In response to the stop level of the ND filter being set, the processor sets the camera to a second shutter speed.

Abstract: Short ultrasound pulses or bursts, delivered at intermediate intensity to the target tissue transmits acoustic radiation forces into the targeted tissue without generating acoustic cavitation and without cellular fractionization. Thus, the present invention exploits the mechanical effects of high-intensity pressure fields only, without cavitation, by optimizing the interaction between acoustic pulses and radiation forces to apply mechanical forces to tissue to generate a broad spectrum of desired and varied bioeffects.

Abstract: Short ultrasound pulses or bursts, delivered at intermediate intensity to the target brain tissue transmits acoustic radiation forces into the targeted brain tissue without generating acoustic cavitation and without cellular fractionization. Thus, the present invention exploits the mechanical effects of high-intensity pressure fields only, without cavitation, by optimizing the interaction between acoustic pulses and radiation forces to apply a negative pressure to the brain tissue and degrading the perineuronal nets in the brain tissue and opening the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract: A rack within a datacenter or other environment can include a plurality of appliances arranged in the rack such that ports of the appliances are aligned vertically or in another direction. A cartridge can include an elongate rigid body along which connectors are arranged. The connectors may be engageable with the aligned ports of the appliances in response to translation of the cartridge toward the rack. The cartridge can include cabling within the elongate rigid body, and the cabling can provide paths among subsets of the connectors, for example, such that subsets of the appliances are accordingly connected for transmission of data or other signals.

Abstract: A cage assembly may define a part of a computing appliance. The assembly can include a cage formed by walls and defining a continuous interior volume bounded by a top face, a bottom face, a right face, a left face, a front face, and a rear face. A first edge connector may be within a leftward portion of the interior volume. A second edge connector may be within a rightward portion of the interior volume and positioned laterally from the first edge connector. The arrangement may permit engagement with multiple individual-width plugs (e.g., each bearing an individual paddle card) or a single plug (e.g., bearing multiple paddle cards spaced laterally from one another and aligned for engagement with the first and second edge connectors within the cage).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a communication signal tracking system comprising an optical receiver including one or more delay line interferometers (DLIs) configured to demultiplex incoming optical signals and a transimpedance amplifier configured to convert the incoming optical signals to incoming electrical signals. The communication signal tracking system further includes a control module configured to calculate a bit-error-rate (BER) of the incoming electrical signals before forward-error correction decoding, and use the BER as a parameter for optimizing settings of the one or more DLIs in one or more iterations in a control loop and generating a back-channel data.

Abstract: In various embodiments, optical fibers may be placed into V-shaped grooves in a substrate. A lid may then be placed on top of the optical fibers to hold them accurately in place, and the lid may be attached to the substrate using a reflow solder technique. Epoxy may then be applied as a strain relief. Because the V-shaped grooves and optical waveguides are manufactured with precision on the same substrate, precise alignment between these two may be achieved. Because the epoxy is applied after reflow, the epoxy may not be exposed to reflow temperatures, which might otherwise cause the epoxy to distort during the cure process.
