Abstract

Design and optimization of donor and accepter concentration profiles in a diode structure can be effective at suppressing pre-pulses appearing in high power pulses output by semiconductor opening switches that integrate the diode structure. An example diode structure includes an additional n-type region or layer that is gradually doped. For example, a diode structure includes at least three n-type regions, with the additional n-type region being sandwiched between a n-type region with relatively lower doping and a n-type region with relatively higher doping. The n-type region with relatively higher doping may also feature a doping gradient, and thus, the diode structure can include two n-type regions each having a respective doping gradient. Formation of the additional n-type region with its doping gradient at depth within the diode structure is achievable by gradual introduction of the n-type dopant during crystal growth of the diode structure.

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments enable scaling of monolithic optical systems (e.g., monolith telescopes) up to larger aperture sizes while reducing mass scaling. An example optical system includes a monolithic mirror assembly that integrates a primary mirror and a tertiary mirror in static alignment. The optical system further includes a secondary mirror or fold mirror displaced away from the monolithic mirror assembly and having a reflective mirror surface. The secondary mirror's reflective mirror surface is positioned to direct light received from the primary mirror onto the tertiary mirror and direct light received from the tertiary mirror onto a detector. The secondary mirror is particularly configured to maintain a low alignment sensitivity, consistent with the permanent fixed alignment associated with the monolithic mirror assembly. For example, the secondary mirror has a relatively low power curvature and a weak fourth-order shape insensitive to decentering and tip/tilt misalignments when directing light onto the spherical tertiary mirror.

Abstract

In an industrial control system (ICS), latent vectors are generated to represent identity or behaviors of host devices coupled to the ICS. A computing system captures communications transmitted by a host device across a network associated with the ICS. A set of values are extracted from one or more respective fields in the communication, then applied to a trained neural network. Values of a first set of fields are applied at an input layer of the trained neural network, while values of a second set of fields are applied at an output layer of the neural network. Based on the application of the neural network to the values extracted from the communication, the computing system generates a latent vector.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for creating parallel, near-linear features with a desired period on a surface of a workpiece, where the workpiece includes a planar substrate and a material layer formed on the planar substrate. In one embodiment the system has an etching beam generator configured to generate a processing beam, and a support structure for holding a workpiece. The workpiece is held such that an upper surface of the material layer of the workpiece is supported at an angle which is non-normal to a direction of travel of the processing beam. The angle correlates to a desired period of features to be fabricated on the upper surface of the material layer. The processing beam transforms the material layer to create generally parallel, generally linear features having the desired a period. Subsequent normal incidence etching may be used to transfer this material layer grating mask structure to the underlying substrate.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for droplet-based printing and makes use of a controller and a printhead system. The printhead system has a housing with an internal cavity and a nozzle at a lower end thereof. The internal cavity is configured to hold a quantity of liquid feedstock material. The housing also has a feedstock infeed port for enabling a feedstock material to be fed into the internal cavity. A valve system is used which is in communication with the controller and configured to selectively pressurize the internal cavity in response to control signals received from the controller. The control signals cause operations including a vacuum to be applied to the internal cavity, as well as the internal cavity to be vented to atmosphere as well as pressurized, to thus create a pressure waveform with characteristics tailored to characteristics of the feedstock material, which causes ejection of at least one of a droplet or a material jet that controllably breaks into droplets from the nozzle.

Abstract

Plasma and gas based optics may be used to direct light to a target that produces emission harmful to solid-state optics. In some cases, a shield having a hole, opening or separation for the light to pass may be employed to attenuate or block such harmful emission from the target thereby providing some protection for the solid-state optics. In some designs, the light incident on the target is not coaxial with light sources such as pump and/or seed sources providing beams incident on the plasma or gas based optics. In various designs, however, the plasma or gas based optic(s) is resistant to the emissions from the target.

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for stochastically heating charged reactants by applying a random (stochastic) voltage signal to a working electrode, thereby inducing a stochastic electric field. By agitating the charged species in the interfacial region adjacent the working electrode or other target substrate, the stochastic electric field increases the effective temperature of the charged species while scarcely affecting any surrounding neutral molecules (e.g., water). This effect increases the reaction rates in the interfacial region and can allow the reactants to achieve rates that are commensurate with physically inaccessible temperatures in common solutions.

Abstract

An optical device provides nonlinear spectral broadening of laser pulses of a laser beam having a spatially varying intensity profile. The device comprises a nonlinear optical element and an optical path difference compensator. The nonlinear optical element has a spatially varying thickness that depends on the spatially varying intensity profile of the laser beam. The optical path difference compensator has a spatially varying thickness that varies such that the optical path length over which the laser beam propagates through the nonlinear optical element and the compensator is spatially more uniform across most of the laser beam cross-section.

Abstract

A system for autonomously determining optimal paths without collision through a travel volume for a swarm of vehicles is disclosed. The system determines a travel path for the swarm leader vehicle using a minimal cost path derived from various measures of environmental cost for avoiding objects in traveling from leader location to target location. The system also determines, for each empty neighbor location of each follower vehicle, relational costs for follower vehicle travel relative to leader vehicle travel. The various measures of relational cost seek to maintain a prescribed positional relationship between each follower vehicle and the leader vehicle given the leader vehicle travel path. Based on various measures of environmental and relational cost, the system determines the best travel path for the each follower vehicle relative to the leader vehicle.

Abstract

A simulation system provides real-time, flexible, and accurate simulations of radiological scenarios that can provide robust and valuable training experience to users. A radiological scenario simulation provided by a simulation system includes simulated neutron and gamma measurements provided by a neutron simulation service and a gamma simulation service, respectively. Each of the neutron simulation service and the gamma simulation service perform accelerated computational techniques to provide the simulation results to the radiological scenario simulation in real-time. In particular, the neutron simulation service performs a particle-wise simulation with an optimized number of neutron particles, scales detector objects to an increased size, and models fission behavior for a source object based on simulated neutron particles being scattered back into the source object.
