Abstract: Methods are provided for making halide perovskite thin films. The method may include forming a pattern of islands of a nucleation promoter material onto a substrate; applying onto the substrate and islands a solution which includes a halide perovskite or precursors thereof, to form a coated substrate; and drying the coated substrate to form a crystalline halide perovskite film. Halide perovskite thin films, which may be made by these methods, and LEDs including these films are also provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for suppressing cross-talk noise due to capacitive and/or inductive coupling in a medical sensor signal. For example, an embodiment of a patient monitor may include driving circuitry, an amplifier, and transient current discharge circuitry. When the driving circuitry drives an emitter to emit light into a patient, a detector may detect a portion of the light that passes through the patient, generating a detector signal. Cross-talk between the emitter driving signals and the detector signal may generate interference in the form of a transient current in the detector signal. Before the amplifier receives the detector signal, transient current discharge circuitry may discharge the transient current.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method for reducing power consumption of a medical device based on one or more physiological parameters. For example, the medical device may be operated in a low power mode if a physiological parameter trend is above a certain threshold. In the low power mode, the processing power may be reduced relative to a high power mode. The low power mode may be associated with reduced processing and output rate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for improved patient monitor signal processing with higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are provided. In accordance with an embodiment, an electronic patient monitor may include drive circuitry, a current-to-voltage converter, and feedback circuitry. The drive circuitry may drive an emitter of a medical sensor with dark periods during which the emitter does not emit light, and the current-to-voltage converter may receive and amplify a photocurrent signal from a detector of the sensor. The feedback circuitry may provide a feedback signal to the current-to-voltage converter. The feedback signal, based at least in part on the output of the current-to-voltage converter during the dark periods, may cause the current-to-voltage converter to substantially exclude an ambient light component of the photocurrent.

Abstract: Systems and methods form and control a supercomputer based upon a parallel processing architecture such as a Howard cascade. A graphical user interface allows a user to interact with one or more virtual power centers of the supercomputer facility. A plurality of processing nodes self-organize into one or more virtual power centers. The processing nodes utilize overlapped input and output for improved communication.
