Abstract: A replica 3D structure is fabricated inside a multi-layered mold by patterning each mold layer to define a void/opening that matches a corresponding cross section of the structure's peripheral surface, and filling the patterned opening of each layer with a structural material (i.e., before depositing a subsequent layer of mold material). The mold material (e.g., photoresist or another dissolvable sacrificial material) is blanket deposited (e.g., by slot-die, spray coating) and then patterned using a laser or a printed mask. Each layer of modeling material (e.g., polymer, ceramic or metal, or a combination thereof) is electro-plated or otherwise deposited on the previously formed modeling material layer. High vertical resolution is achieved by utilizing relatively thin mold layers. The mold layer deposition, patterning and modeling material deposition is repeated until the replica 3D structure is entirely formed inside the multi-layered mold, and then the mold is dissolved or otherwise removed.

Abstract: A single-pass imaging system utilizes a two-dimensional (2D) light field generator (e.g., one or more VCSEL devices) to generate a modulated two-dimensional modulated light field in accordance with image data for a single row of pixels, and an anamorphic optical system that concentrates the two-dimensional modulated light field in a process direction such that a one-dimensional scan line image extending in a cross-process direction is generated on an imaging surface. The VCSEL array is configured using a scan line image data group made up of pixel image data portions, with associated groups of light emitting elements aligned in the process direction being configured by each pixel image data portion. Gray scaling is achieved either by turning on some of the light emitting elements of the associated group, or by turning the light emitting elements of the associated group partially on, e.g. using a common drive current.

The shunt paths can shunt current from a door latch to ground, such that the door latch circuit operates as if the door of the appliance has been opened.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology for efficiently emulating program code that is protected by one or more various code virtualization techniques to detect the presence of malware. An emulation engine emulates a program containing a mix of native code, custom (e.g., virtualized obfuscated) code, and at least one emulator and/or interpreter that understands the custom code, by building a custom emulation component that is built by detecting and analyzing the internal emulator or interpreter. The custom emulation component may access a translation table built from the analysis, and also may simplify a plurality of instructions in the program into a lesser number of instructions in an intermediate language used for emulation.
