Abstract: An apparatus can be configured to control a quantum memory of a quantum computer. The quantum memory can have a first qubit. The apparatus can comprise: a first-classical-register; a first-clock; a first-machine-language-buffer, that stores a first-machine-language-circuit; and a first-implementer. The first-machine-language-circuit includes: a first-timestamp; a first-qubit-identifier unique to the first qubit; a first-qubit-control-instruction; and a first-protected-location of the first-classical-register. The first-implementer can be configured to: read the first-machine-language-circuit from the first-machine-language-buffer; and read a first-control-value from the first-protected-location of the first-classical-register, the first-control-value can be configured to encode either a first-execute-instruction or a first-alternate-control-instruction.

Abstract: A hybrid tactile sensor includes a flexible cloth-based tactile sensor array including a plurality of electrodes, each of the electrodes connected to a corresponding connecting zone of an intermediate connecting harness made from a flexible film such as Kapton®. The harness includes a common bundle of parallel conductors etched or printed onto the harness and connecting each of the connecting zones to a common terminal for further attaching to a control unit of the sensor. The use of the harness allows repeatable manufacturing of sensor arrays with large number of electrodes or when they are located close to each other. Each connecting zone may include an interconnecting pad for crimping, soldering, or adhering the electrode thereto using a conductive epoxy. Alternative embodiments describe the use of U-shaped malleable connectors, jumper wires including those equipped with U-shaped clips, and other means of attaching electrodes to corresponding connecting zones.

Abstract: A system and methods that provide for visualization and/or characterization of manometry data. Visual representations of pressure information represent pressure information measured over time by sensors positioned within an organism. Markers may be provided on the visual representations. Using the system and methods described herein, various characteristics of an organism and/or events that occur within the organism may be determined.
