Abstract: A multiplexed single-photon generator includes a plurality of single-photon sources, an optical switching network controllable to couple pump light into any one of the single-photon sources, and a bus waveguide optical coupled to all of the single-photon sources. Each single-photon source includes a quantum emitter coupled to an optical cavity. All of the single photons emitted by all of the single-photon sources propagate along the bus waveguide. The single-photon generator may be time-multiplexed in which only one of the single-photon sources is pumped at any time. In this case, the single photons form a temporal sequence with little or no temporal overlap. As an alternative to time multiplexing, the single-photon generator may be frequency-multiplexed such that each single-photon source emits single photons that are distinguishable from the other emitted single photons based on optical frequency.

Abstract: A scorecard with a hole for a writing instrument for use in the game of golf is described herein. The scorecard may have a first fold along a midline of the scorecard along with a second fold at a top edge of the first fold. This second fold may be created by folding down the top edge of the first fold to make a v-shape. The scorecard may further have a hole in the middle of the v-shape fold. This hole may be used to secure a writing instrument so that it may remain inside the folded scorecard during golf play, allowing for better handling and less interference with a golfer's game during a round of golf.

Abstract: Systems and methods encourage users to rotate injection sites and avoid lipodystrophy. Sleeves and/or lost-tooth gear dials and/or microswitches in or on injection pens or their caps, on vials, and on other portable devices manually adjust an indicator before or after an injection to show a current or next injection site in accordance with a site rotation plan. Injected medicine packaging and related printed indicia encourage site rotation. Optical devices employing optical mouse or projection technology help locate and/or distribute injection sites within a body area. A mobile phone app tracks injections and locations to select next injection site, and can use imaging to locate a target injection site and optionally diagnose lipodystrophic conditions and record them. Tactile and print media educational tools are presented to help users palpate and identify lipos in body areas having injection sites.
