Abstract: In one embodiment, a magnet array and ironless winding for a motor is provided which has an array of permanent magnets being arranged such that flux from the permanent magnets reinforce on one side of the array and substantially cancel on an opposite side of the array, the array further includes flux concentrators forming poles on the reinforcing side of the array, and such that a magnetic moment at the poles is oriented generally perpendicular to the reinforcing side of the array, the winding being adjacent to the array and comprising conductor bundles having a generally rectangular cross-section arranged such that a long side of the generally rectangular cross-section is transverse to a direction of magnetic field lines at the poles.

Abstract: A mechanism called time-deterministic replay (TOR) that can reproduce the execution of a program, including its precise timing. Without TOR, reproducing the timing of an execution is difficult because there are many sources of timing variability. TOR uses a combination of techniques to either mitigate or eliminate most of these sources of variability. Using a prototype implementation of TOR in a Java Virtual Machine, we show it is possible to reproduce the timing to within 1.85% of the original execution. A study of one of the applications of TOR is described: the detection of a covert timing channel. Timing channels can be used to exfiltrate information from a compromised machine by subtly varying timing of the machine's outputs, TOR can detect this variation. Unlike prior solutions, which generally look for a specific type of timing channel, our approach can detect a wide variety of channels with high accuracy.

Abstract: Facilitating analysis of user interface gesture patterns is described. In example implementations, a computing device acquires data that describes a user interface gesture pattern, such as finger movements on a touchscreen, in terms of pixels of a visual display. A repetitive arrangement of polygons, such as a grid of rectangles, is logically overlaid on the visual display. The computing device transforms the pixel-based data into polygon-based data that represents the gesture pattern in terms of polygons traversed by the gesture pattern. The computing device also converts the polygon-based data into text-based data such that the gesture pattern is represented by textual characters, such as a text string. The text string can include, for instance, a list of polygons traversed by the gesture pattern. The text-based data is forwarded to a service that can efficiently analyze relationships that may exist among multiple gesture patterns across multiple devices or end users.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described in which an image similarity determination of paths is used to control digital content output. In one example, a plurality of coordinates is received that represent a plurality of physical locations within a physical environment. A digital image is then generated having a path that describes the plurality of coordinates. The path of the generated digital image is compared to a plurality of reference paths described by respective ones of a plurality of reference digital images, e.g., through image similarity. An item of digital content is selected based at least in part on the comparison. Output is then controlled of the selected item of the digital content.

Abstract: A unique method and coatings are provided to promote/allow early stage tissue encapsulation/endothelization of medical devices while effectively controlling excessive tissue buildup by eluting antiproliferative therapeutic agent within a body of a patient. The method involves using a therapeutic agent that suppresses excessive extracellular matrix proliferation and allows/promotes thin tissue healing/encapsulation/endothelization of the device. Optimized timing of onset of elution to match onset of excessive extracellular matrix proliferation for maximum effectiveness is achieved by delay barrier with biochemical switch.

Abstract: A novel photoimageable system for a two-chemistry system containing liquid photoreactive asymmetric acrylate compound containing sulfur, aromatic moieties, and optionally bromine, and an aluminum salt compound is disclosed. The photoimageable system has high dynamic range (M/#) and sensitivity and unexpectedly high temperature and high humidity resistance. The photoimageable system retains its dynamic range when exposed to 60° C. for 4 weeks while a composition without the aluminum salt compound lost 75% of its dynamic range under similar exposure conditions. In one embodiment, 2-10 weight % of a thio-butylacrylate dissolved in a two-component urethane matrix containing 0.002 to 1 weight % of the aluminum salt compound showed a dynamic range of greater than 5 for a 200 microns thick sample and retained more than 80% of the dynamic range after 4 weeks exposure at 60° C.
