  • Publication number: 20230295038
    Abstract: A laminated glass article comprises a core layer comprising a core glass composition, and a cladding layer directly adjacent to the core layer and comprising a clad glass composition. A stress of the cladding layer increases with increasing distance from an outer surface of the cladding layer from a compressive stress to a tensile stress, transitions to a compressive stress as a step-change at an interface region between the core layer and the cladding layer, and increases with increasing distance from the interface region to a center of the core layer from the compressive stress to a tensile stress.

  • Publication number: 20230292632
    Abstract: Josephson junctions are the main circuit element of superconducting quantum information devices due to their nonlinear inductance properties and fabrication scalability. However, large scale integration necessarily depends on high fidelity and high yielding fabrication of Josephson junctions. The standard Josephson junction technique depends on a submicron suspended resist Dolan bridge that tends to be very fragile and fractures during the fabrication process. The present invention is directed to a new tunnel junction resist mask that incorporates stress-relief channels to reduce the intrinsic stress of the resist, thereby increasing the survivability of the Dolan bridge during device processing, resulting in higher Josephson junction yield.

  • Patent number: 11704876
    Abstract: A mobile computing device comprises an AR display, an image capture device that generates image data of a face of a viewer of the AR display, and a processing device. The processing device receives the image data; processes the image data to identify a position of a dental arch in the image data; determines a treatment outcome for the dental arch; generates a post-treatment image of the dental arch that shows the treatment outcome; generates updated image data comprising a superimposition of the post-treatment image of the dental arch over the received image data depicting the face of the viewer; and outputs the updated image data to the AR display, wherein the post-treatment image of the dental arch is superimposed over the dental arch in the received image data such that the post-treatment image is visible in the AR display rather than a true depiction of the dental arch.
