  • Publication number: 20230140979
    Abstract: Systems and methods for material processing using wafer scale waves of precisely controlled electrons in a DC plasma is presented. The anode and cathode of a DC plasma chamber are respectively connected to an adjustable DC voltage source and a DC current source. The anode potential is adjusted to shift a surface floating potential of a stage in a positive column of the DC plasma to a reference ground potential of the DC voltage/current sources. A conductive plate in a same region of the positive column opposite the stage is used to measure the surface floating potential of the stage. A signal generator referenced to the ground potential is capacitively coupled to the stage to control a surface potential at the stage for provision of kinetic energy to free electrons in the DC plasma.

  • Patent number: 11626193
    Abstract: A system for maintaining individual immunization records. The system includes a tracking vehicle storing a first instance of a user record a terminal including an electronic processor and a memory. The electronic processor is configured to communicate with the tracking vehicle, obtain a second instance of the user record stored in the memory of the terminal and determine whether immunization data in the first instance or the second instance is more recent. When the first instance of the user record from the tracking vehicle includes more recent immunization data than the second instance of the user record stored in the memory, the electronic processor is configured to update the user record stored in the memory of the terminal with the more recent immunization data in the first instance of the user record of the tracking vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230095225
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for utilizing non-RAM memory to implement large digital display emulations. An embodiment operates by generating, by an emulator device, a pixel map of a digital display, wherein the pixel map comprises a plurality of pixels representative of a plurality of light emitting elements arranged on a viewable surface of the large digital display. A distance and orientation of a virtual viewer to the viewable surface of the large digital display is generated and the emulator device emulates the large digital display based on the pixel map and the distance and the orientation of the virtual viewer and renders the digital content based on the emulated large digital display.

  • Publication number: 20230093097
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image transformation, executing on one or more computer systems, can mathematically transform a first two-dimensional image space onto a second two-dimensional image space using a three-dimensional image space. The three-dimensional image transformation can project the three-dimensional image space onto the first two-dimensional image space to map the first two-dimensional image space to the three-dimensional image space. Thereafter, the three-dimensional image transformation can project the second two-dimensional image space onto the three-dimensional image space to map the three-dimensional image space to the second two-dimensional image space.

  • Patent number: 11590889
    Abstract: Various implementations of a horn system include one or more force sensors disposed on a first portion of a driver air bag module and one or more actuators disposed on a second portion of the driver air bag module. For example, the force sensors may be disposed adjacent a perimeter of a base plate of the driver air bag module, and the actuators may extend inwardly toward the force sensors from an inner surface of a cover of the driver air bag module, or vice versa. To actuate the horn, the cover is moved axially toward the base plate, causing the actuators to apply force to the force sensors. Force signals received from the force sensors are used by one or more processors to determine characteristics of the force received and/or select a control message for communicating to the horn system based on the force signal characteristics.
