  • Publication number: 20220269974
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for making a quantum network node. A plurality of scoring function F values are calculated for an array of at least two photonic crystal cavity unit cells, each having a lattice constant a and a hole having a length Hx and a width Hy. A value of a, a value of Hx, and a value of Hy are selected for which a scoring function value is at a maximum. A waveguide region and the array of at least two photonic crystal cavity unit cells based on the selected values are formed on a substrate. At least one ion between a first photonic crystal cavity unit cell and a second photonic crystal cavity unit cell are implanted and annealed into a quantum defect. A coplanar microwave waveguide is formed on the substrate in proximity to the array of at least two photonic crystal cavity unit cells.

  • Patent number: 11074520
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for preparing and evolving atomic defects in diamond. Silicon vacancy spins may be cooled to temperatures equal to or below 500 mK to reduce the influence of phonons. The cooling, manipulation, and observation systems may be designed to minimize added heat into the system. A CPMG sequence may be applied to extend coherence times. Coherence times may be extended, for example, to 13 ms.

  • Publication number: 20140253684
    Abstract: A system and method for visualization of subsurface anatomy includes obtaining a first image from a first camera and a second image from a second camera or a second channel of the first camera, where the first and second images contain shared anatomical structures. The second camera and the second channel of the first camera are capable of imaging anatomy beneath the surface in ultra-violet, visual, or infra-red spectrum. A data processor is configured for computing registration of the first image to the second image to provide visualization of subsurface anatomy during surgical procedures. A visual interface displays the registered visualization of the first and second images. The system and method are particularly useful for imaging during minimally invasive surgery, such as robotic surgery.

  • Patent number: 8347267
    Abstract: An automated software testing system allows automated test script generation with fully parameterized scripts, execution, and result correlation. A software Application Under Test (AUT) includes a process having Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows, objects and data elements. A test thread tree is generated corresponding to these windows, objects and data elements. A data structure is generated to enumerate test cases indicative of the windows, objects and data elements. Also generated is a parameterized script implementing the test cases and having string values instead of hard-coded data. A global change manager automates modifying in the data structure, data object attributes across multiple scripts. A Scenario view or data generation member generates Test Descriptions, automatically documenting the test cases. The script is executed to apply each of the test cases to the AUT and receive responses.

  • Publication number: 20110202901
    Abstract: An automated software testing system allows automated test script generation with fully parameterized scripts, execution, and result correlation in a recreatable and adaptable manner. A software Application Under Test (AUT) is identified and includes a process having Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows, objects and data elements. A test thread tree is generated corresponding to the windows, objects and data elements in the process. A data structure is generated to enumerate test cases indicative of the windows, objects and data elements in the AUT process. Also generated is a parameterized script indicative of each of the test cases and having string values instead of hard-coded data of the AUT process. A global change manager automates modifying in the data structure, data object attributes across multiple scripts. A Scenario view or data generation member generates Test Descriptions and automates documentation of test cases based on the script.

  • Patent number: 7987150
    Abstract: Automated defect sourcing systems identify root-causes of yield excursions due to contamination, process faults, equipment failure and/or handling. They perform this function in timely manner and provide accurate and timely feedback to address and contain the sources of yield excursion. A signature repository stores known wafer surface manufacturing defect types as set of rules. The signature of a manufacturing defect pattern is associated with the equipment or process that causes the defects, and is used to source the manufacturing defects and to provide process control for changing and/or stopping yield excursion during fabrication. A defect signature rule-based engine matches wafer defects against the signature repository during wafer fabrication. Once the defect signature is detected during fabrication, handling and/or disposing the root-cause of the corresponding defect is facilitated using messages according to an event handling database.

    Abstract: An automated software testing system allows automated test script generation, execution, and result correlation in a recreatable and adaptable manner. A software Application Under Test (AUT) is identified and includes a process having a sequence of Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows. A test thread tree is generated corresponding to the windows in the process. A grid is generated to enumerate test cases indicative of the windows and data objects in the thread. Also generated is a script indicative of each of the test cases. The script is executed to apply each of the test cases to the AUT and receive a response for each test case from the AUT. A report of expected responses is generated, and compared to the actual responses to provide a test result indicative of the status for each test case in question.
