Abstract: A method for acquiring an X-ray image of anatomical features and surgical effectors in a surgical space of a patient includes detecting a particular pose of a particular C-arm used to acquire the X-ray of the surgical space. Characterization parameters of the particular C-arm in the particular pose are determined and incorporated into equations implemented in imaging software that is operable to generate an image of the anatomical features and surgical effectors in the surgical space. When the live X-ray of the surgical space is acquired, the imaging software generates a live image of the anatomical features and surgical effectors as a function of the characterization parameters to account for potential deviations due to the pose of the C-arm. In another feature, a potential error in the imaging process can be visually or automatically detected.

Abstract: A ponderomotive phase plate, also called a laser phase plate or standing wave optical phase plate, has a first mirror and a second mirror that define an optical cavity. An electron beam passes through a focal spot of the optical cavity. A laser with variable polarization angle of laser light is coupled to the optical cavity. A standing wave of polarized laser light, with an anti-node at the focal spot of the optical cavity, causes variable modulation of the electron beam. The variable modulation of the electron beam is controllable by the variable polarization angle of the laser light. In a transmission electron microscope, an image plane receives the electron beam modulated by the standing wave optical phase plate. An image formed at the image plane is based on the variable polarization angle of the polarized laser light.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an automatic interference/jamming detection system for use with a GNSS receiver or a GNSS receiver and off-the-shelf jamming detector. The automatic jamming detection system utilizes one of the following two techniques: using a jamming detector in conjunction with a GNSS receiver in order to analyze received data for key data indicators for suspicious interference/jamming activities such as signal-to-noise ratio, phase or maximum power, or using a trained jamming detection algorithm to convert received/stored GNSS data into spectrograms to visually highlight anomalies or potential interference/jamming events and then further using the Box-Cox transform to train the algorithm in order to transform data into a normal distribution for comparison against user tunable thresholds to further highlight potential interference/jamming events.
