Abstract: A substantially planar self-folding film assembly to generate a folded three-dimensional assembly. The assembly includes a flexible support substrate, adhesive elements, and folding members. The folding members include a base, a folding region, and a hinge adjacent each folding region attached at the base to the flexible support substrate by at least one of the adhesive elements. An array of polymer actuators is co-extensive, or shaped to be not co-extensive, with each of the flexible folding members. Upon activation by a patterned light to heat conversion layer, each polymer actuator is designed and configured to provide a displacement of the corresponding flexible folding member about each hinge.

Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to transmission power control (TPC) for distributed-tone resource units (dRUs) and distributed multi-resource units (dMRUs) in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. A communication entity distributes subcarriers of a resource unit (RU) and a multi-RU over a physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) bandwidth or a frequency subblock of a bandwidth to generate a dRU and a dMRU associated with an uplink (UL) trigger-based (TB) PPDU comprising at least an extremely-high-throughput (EHT) short training field (EHT-STF), an EHT long training field (EHT-LTF), and a payload of data. The communication entity then transmits the dRU or dMRU associated with the UL TB PPDU with transmission power control such that symbols associated with the EHT-STF are transmitted with a first power and symbols associated with the EHT-LTF and the payload are transmitted with a second power.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to hemostatic and/or tissue adhesive formulations comprising crosslinked polysaccharide particles that have been oxidized to generate aldehyde- and carboxylic functional moieties therein, and wherein said formulations further contain a buffer that maintains a slightly alkaline environment.

Abstract: Multi-die structures and methods of fabrication are described. In an embodiment, a multi-die structure includes a first die, a second die, and die-to-die routing connecting the first die to the second die. The die-to-die interconnection may be monolithically integrated as a chip-level die-to-die routing, or external package-level die-to-die routing.

Abstract: A system on a chip (SOC) is configured to support multiple time domains within a time-sensitive networking (TSN) environment. TSN extends Ethernet networks to support a deterministic and high-availability communication on Layer 2 (data link layer of open system interconnect “OSI” model) for time coordinated capabilities such as industrial automation and control applications. Processors in a system may have an application time domain separate from the communication time domain. In addition, each type time domain may also have multiple potential time masters to drive synchronization for fault tolerance. The SoC supports multiple time domains driven by different time masters and graceful time master switching. Timing masters may be switched at run-time in case of a failure in the system. Software drives the SoC to establish communication paths through a sync router to facilitate communication between time providers and time consumers. Multiple time sources are supported.

Abstract: A liquid-facing crystal surface of a crystal of a quartz crystal microbalance assembly is flush mounted with respect to an inner surface of a wall of a laboratory-scale equipment for purposes of measuring particle deposition from a liquid under high shear conditions. The side(s) of the crystal does not bond with a side wall of a hole formed in the wall of the equipment or with a side wall of a housing or support member, so as to allow un-impeded shear oscillation of a liquid-facing crystal surface relative to a dry-facing crystal surface of the crystal in a thickness shear mode of operation.

Abstract: A novel method is disclosed to make cellulose filaments (CF) from wood or other plant fibers with lower energy consumption. The method consists of multi-stage, high consistency refining, followed by low consistency refining or by low consistency, non-refining mechanical treatment, of wood or other plant fibers. The total specific refining energy for the multi-stage, high consistency refining is preferably 2,000-18,000 kWh/t, and more preferably 2,000-12,000 kWh/t. The CF produced can be used as a superior reinforcement additive in the production of paper, tissue or paperboard and in the production of plastic composites. It can also be used as a viscosity or rheology modifier in food products, coatings or drilling muds. The CF produced can also be used to make strong films for application in packaging and in composites.
