  • Publication number: 20250207284
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for fabricating a nanowire array on an uneven or curved surface. A pliable, porous scaffold is used to hold a liquid electrolyte, creating s semi-solid electrolyte that is used to transfer pressure to a template disposed on the target surface to cause the template to conform to and bond with the target surface to substantially eliminate the gap therebetween, such that a robust and controllable growth of the nanowire array can be realized.

  • Publication number: 20240370099
    Abstract: Example implementations are for tracking an artificial reality input device by receiving, for the input device, video tracking data and inertial motion unit (“IMU”) data based on motion input. Example implementations generate, from the video tracking data, a video tracking position and a video tracking velocity; generate, from the IMU data, an IMU orientation and an IMU linear acceleration; and generate, from the IMU orientation and the IMU linear acceleration, an IMU linear velocity. Example implementations determine if the video tracking position and the video tracking velocity is reliable and determine, by a Kalman filter for the input device, a current bias, a current velocity and a current position.

  • Patent number: 12057673
    Abstract: An all-fiber laser oscillator comprises a laser cavity, an amplification fiber, a plurality of diode lasers, and at least one side-pump signal-and-pump combiner (combiner). The combiner comprises a double-clad fiber (DCF) and four or more multimode fibers (MMFs). DCF comprises a first taper portion, whereas each of MMFs comprises a second taper portion fused around DCF. MMFs are configured to carry a portion of combined optical energy (COE) and to couple to DCF. The first taper portion can partially compensate a beam divergence created by the second taper portion, thereby increasing a coupling efficiency of COE coupled from MMFs to DCF with improved thermal performance. In a coupling portion, a refractive index difference between MMFs and DCF is configured to form a backward coupling barrier to suppress an optical energy in DCF from coupling into MMFs, thereby protecting the plurality of diode lasers from damage.
