    Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed may improve existing optical coupler and sparse coding problem solving technology. Optical coupler technology may be improved by the provision of a versatile, efficient, and rapid optical coupler that may be programmed. Sparse coding optimization technology may be improved by the provision of methods for converting a sparse coding optimization problem into a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization for minimization by an annealer (such as a programmable optical coupler), a quantum computer, or similar apparatus. When combined, the programmable optical coupler may solve sparse coding optimization problems particularly quickly and efficiently.

  • Publication number: 20240088608
    Abstract: A quick-connect plug and socket for mechanically and electrically attaching an electrical fixture. The plug has a spindle insertable into a bore of the socket to mechanically engage the plug and socket. An electrical connection forms between ring-shaped conductors on the plug that insert into ring-shaped openings in the socket to engage contacts within the socket. The plug body includes an extension extending from a side of the body to the spindle. The extension has a channel and slot, through which an electrical cord with wires inserts without threading the cord through the extension. The cord turns away from the extension to lie in a channel in the body and extend to a periphery of the body, to then connect to electrical terminals of the body. A removable cover covers the cord in the channel, the terminals, and the portion of wire that passes from the periphery to the terminals.
