  • Patent number: 12086945
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of performing late-stage shift is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating, based on a first predicted pose of the device for a display time period, a first image. The method includes generating a mask indicating a first region of the first image and a second region of the first image. The method includes generating a second image by shifting, based on a second predicted pose of the device for the display time period, the first region of the first image without shifting the second region of the first image. The method includes displaying, on the display at the display time period, the second image.

  • Patent number: 11747088
    Abstract: A compact heat exchanger is provided, in which multiple streams can flow within the same layer or layers, and different fluids may flow in alternating channels within the same layer as well as flowing in alternating layers. Having fluids in alternating channels—as compared to only alternating layers within the same layer—increases the direct surface area between the fluids (the primary surface area) for heat transfer, thereby increasing the rate and efficiency of heat transfer. Methods of making and using the heat exchanger are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11378746
    Abstract: A method for performing an operation on an input signal includes receiving, by a multi-mode waveguide, the input signal imposed on laser light. The received input signal imposed on the laser light is propagated through the waveguide a plurality of times in a plurality of modes, the modes interfering each time they propagate through the waveguide to generate an interference pattern of the plurality of modes. Portions of the interference pattern of the plurality of modes are nonlinearly activated each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide. Portions of the activated interference pattern of the plurality of modes are output to an optical detector array in parallel with one another each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide.

    Abstract: A method for measuring reactive hyperemia in a subject is disclosed. The method includes performing a first segmental cuff plethysmography to generate a baseline arterial compliance curve and/or a baseline pressure-area (P-A) curve, performing a second segmental cuff plethysmography to generate a hyperemic arterial compliance curve and/or a hyperemic P-A curve, and calculating an area between the baseline and the hyperemic curves. The size of the area can be used as an indication of endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ED-related diseases.

  • Patent number: 10095262
    Abstract: Under one aspect, a method for performing a linear algebra operation includes imposing matrix elements onto a chirped optical carrier; inputting into a multi-mode optic the matrix elements imposed on the chirped optical carrier; outputting by the multi-mode optic a speckle pattern based on the matrix elements imposed on the optical carrier; and performing a linear algebra operation on the matrix elements based on the speckle pattern. The matrix elements can be from matrix A and a vector b, and the multi-mode optic can optically transform each of matrix A and vector b by a speckle transformation S, so as to output a speckle pattern including elements of a matrix SA of dimension p,n and matrix elements of a vector Sb of dimension p. The linear algebra operation can include generating {tilde over (x)}=(SA)†Sb, wherein † indicates a pseudo-inverse operation.

  • Patent number: 10081945
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a roofing membrane laminate includes a first layer of an uncured ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) material and a second layer of a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) material coupled with the EPDM material. The EPDM material has a thickness of between about 50 mils and 70 mils and the TPO material has a thickness of between about 15 mils and 35 mils. The EPDM material and TPO material are coupled via crosslinking of the TPO and EPDM material at an interface thereof, whereby at least a top portion of the EPDM material is cured via the application of heat after the EPDM material and TPO material are placed into contact so as to effect crosslinking of the materials.
