  • Patent number: 10756298
    Abstract: An OLED device comprising a substrate with a top surface; a first electrode covering the top surface of the substrate; a first insulating structure patterned over a portion of the first electrode where the pattern defines an inside area of the first electrode that is completely surrounded by the insulating structure, and an outside area of the first electrode not covered by the insulating structure; at least one organic layer for light emission within the inside area defined by the insulating structure; a second electrode over the at least one organic layer within the inside area defined by the insulating structure and at least partially over the first insulating structure; a cover slip located at least over the second electrode in the inside area defined by the insulating structure; and an electrically conductive solder seal making a hermetic seal between the insulating structure and the cover slip where the solder seal is in electrical contact with the second electrode.

  • Publication number: 20180321350
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for remote sensing to derive a calibrated power measurement for a power distribution point. Magnetic field sensors of a sensor module sense a magnetic field emitted by the power distribution point. A first processor generates an uncalibrated power measurement for each magnetic field sensor, the uncalibrated power measurement derived from the magnetic field sensed by the magnetic field sensor and a voltage carried by the power distribution point. A second processor determines a response of each magnetic field sensor to a known power load being drawn through the power distribution point. The second processor derives a transfer function using the response of each magnetic field sensor to the known power load. The second processor applies the transfer function to the uncalibrated power measurement for each magnetic field sensor to generate the calibrated power measurement for the power distribution point.

  • Patent number: 10018701
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for identifying individual branch circuits coupled to a power distribution point. A sensor module positioned in proximity to the power distribution point and having a plurality of magnetic field sensors senses a magnetic field emitted by each of a plurality of branch circuits coupled to the power distribution point. A processor coupled to the sensor module determines a response of each magnetic field sensor to each of a plurality of changes in power associated with at least one of the plurality of branch circuits. The processor positions the responses of the magnetic field sensors to each change in power on a point in a multidimensional space, where each dimension of the multidimensional space corresponds to a magnetic field sensor. The processor identifies clusters of the points in the multidimensional space, each cluster representing a different branch circuit and having a different vector direction.

  • Patent number: 7324979
    Abstract: Genetically adaptive neural network systems and methods provide environmentally adaptable classification algorithms for use, among other things, in multi-static active sonar classification. Classification training occurs in-situ with data acquired at the onset of data collection to improve the classification of sonar energy detections in difficult littoral environments. Accordingly, in-situ training sets are developed while the training process is supervised and refined. Candidate weights vectors evolve through genetic-based search procedures, and the fitness of candidate weight vectors is evaluated. Feature vectors of interest may be classified using multiple neural networks and statistical averaging techniques to provide accurate and reliable signal classification.

  • Patent number: 7199750
    Abstract: A real-time signal processing engine robustly detects, localizes, tracks and classifies ground targets based on radar signals from a multistatic radar system. The system differentiates between different targets based on an optimized cost function, which can include the total returned normalized pulse energy. The local transmitters/receivers can communicate with each other via the transmitted radar signals.
