Abstract

This disclosure relates to new multi-modal sensing array architectures that can sense normal and shear forces. Examples include resistive sensing arrays that are used to measure changes in the environment and manufacturing processes to produce multi-modal sensing arrays in a highly-automated and inexpensive fashion. Specifically, a manufacturing process includes a cutting operation and sewing/embroidery technique that creates a fully automated process to produce a resistive sensing array. The new manufacturing process enables the reduction of processing time and materials to produce a functioning sensor without limiting the designs space of achievable sensor geometries. Also presented are sensor reading methodologies for high-speed reading that are capable of sensing vibrations and a wide range of forces. Examples include the use of the new sensor arrays in wearable devices.

Abstract

A method of forming nonplanar nanostructures on a substrate is disclosed. The method includes treating a portion of the surface of the substrate so as to affect its properties. A film is then applied to the substrate after the surface engineering has been completed. Energy is then applied to the film, causing it to delaminate in the regions where the surface was treated, thereby creating the nonplanar nanostructures. The surface treatment may include the application of a self-assembled molecular (SAM) layer, which includes an anchoring group that allows assembly on the surface of the substrate, and also has a functional group that has the desired interaction with the film. The nonplanar nanostructures may be used to form nanoswitches, resonators, and strain engineered surfaces.

Abstract

We disclose a soft-detection variant of Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (GRAND) called discretized soft-information for GRAND (DSGRAND) that can efficiently decode any moderate redundancy block-code in an algorithm that is suitable for highly parallelized implementation in hardware. DSGRAND provides near maximum likelihood decoding performance when provided with five or more bits of soft information per received bit, by discretizing the soft information into noise effect sequences and allocating those sequences into bins according to weight. The use of these bins provides a separate, simplified manner of sequencing noise guessing.

Abstract

Several new techniques for designing nanophotonic scintillators which lead to optimal performance and novel functionalities. Important design concepts include the use of absorbing structures inspired by solar cells, angularly-selective structures, and metasurfaces. Scintillators based on conventionally overlooked materials (such as GaAs or GaN) are also disclosed, which are designed to reach efficiencies comparable or superior to state-of-the-art conventional scintillators (such as YAG:Ce and LYSO). Such scintillators provide important enhancement of scintillation yield arising from incorporation of nanophotonic patterns. Additionally, nanophotonic scintillators designed in conjunction with image post processing algorithms (such as deconvolution algorithms, tomographic reconstruction, etc.) are disclosed. These scintillators are designed in order to increase robustness, minimize the required dose/scan time or even the number of scans required in scintillation imaging. These new designs optimize the scintillator for optimal reconstruction.

Abstract

Systems, compositions, and methods for using reactive magnetron sputtering to encapsulate nanowire networks to improve their chemical, thermal, and electrical stability while maintaining transparency are disclosed. For example, oxynitride films are deposited onto silver nanowire networks using full-metal targets without imparting oxidative damage onto the nanowires. The oxynitrides can be deposited using residual water vapor in the chamber that can take advantage of relatively poor vacuum conditions, which would be compatible with high-volume roll-to-roll sputtering approaches, and would also reduce the cost of encapsulating sensitive metal nanostructures which would encounter high temperatures, currents, or humidity. The resulting films can be applicable in a wide variety of fields as transparent encapsulants, where metal nanostructures would need to be protected from harsh environmental conditions and/or high temperatures - including but not limited to: solar cell electrodes, transparent heaters, touch screens, and LEDs.

Abstract

A method and apparatus used in preparing a recrystallized metal alloy involve a cooling medium and a heating element to create a cold zone and a hot zone. An additively manufactured metal alloy preform is drawn in a draw direction from the cold zone towards the hot zone to form the recrystallized metal alloy. The cold zone and the hot zone create a surface temperature gradient on at least a portion of the preform of at least about 104K m-1. The step of drawing causes an average grain size of at least a portion of the preform to increase in a direction parallel to the draw direction.

Abstract

Apparatus and methods for monitoring emissions from a borehole to determine the composition of earthen material removed from the borehole are described. Monitoring can be done in real time as the borehole is being deepened with a millimeter-wave drilling beam. The present technology can monitor in real-time the elemental composition of the earthen materials (e.g., rock, minerals, crystals, metals, etc.) in a borehole created by a directed-energy beam that melts and vaporizes the earthen material materials in its path. Using a continuous emissions monitor (CEM) in combination with directed-energy excavation of a borehole enables rapid surveying of the subsurface for precious and commercial metals.

Abstract

A system and method for patterned growth of halide perovskite nanocrystals is disclosed. This method allows control over the size, number and position of the nanocrystals, while ensuring compatibility with device integration processes. The method uses a topographical template comprising a plurality of wells with asymmetric surface wetting to confine the nanocrystal growth to within the wells. Further, the shape and surface wetting properties of the wells are used to induce local directional forces to guide nanocrystal positioning during the growth process. With this technique, scalable arrays of nanocrystals with tunable dimensions and precise positional accuracy are possible. As an example, this method allows arrays of active nanoscale perovskite light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Abstract

Multifunctional microelectronics fiber probes can be chronically implanted in tissue of awake- behaving animals for understanding brain-viscera communication. These fiber probes can be made using thermal drawing to make hundreds of meters of flexible fiber that incorporates features such as light sources, electrodes, thermal sensors, and microfluidic channels in a multilayered configuration. The fiber mechanics can be tuned for two distinct device layouts: (1) higher- modulus, flexible brain fibers for implantation into deep-brain; and (2) soft, compliant gut fibers for implantation into the small intestine. Brain fibers can modulate the deep-brain mesolimbic reward pathway. Gut fibers can perform peripheral optogenetic stimulation of vagal afferents from the intestine to stimulate brain reward neurons. Brain and gut fibers can be connected to a control module, for example, with a coiled, stretchable interconnect that is more flexible and stretches more than even soft gut fibers, in dual-organ (gut-brain) implantation.

Abstract

Systems and methods disclose a practical implementation of optimal modulation (OM) for the Complex Additive White Gaussian Noise (CAWGN) channel. At the sender, we map from uniform distributions of data to non-uniform distributions of points in constellations by using a technique inspired by Huffman codes. We replace Gray codes with a bit mapping suited to our constellations, where different points may map to string of bits of different lengths. At the receiver, we perform distribution-aware detection. The differing lengths of bits for modulation points can used as a simple checking mechanism that, when combined with guessing random additive noise decoding (GRAND), yields bit-error-rate (BER) advantages.

Abstract

Systems, methods, and compositions for using Interfacial Photopolymerization (IPP) for high-resolution digital processing of polymers are disclosed. In IPP, a polymer film can be formed at an interface between two liquids, each containing a species involved in a polymerization reaction. The two liquids can include a photoinitiator and a monomer that are immiscible and/or reactive such that the film can form at the interface. The polymerization reaction can be controlled by a LED light source, which is focused at a reaction zone located at or near the liquid-liquid interface. The resulting polymer results in a high-resolution, high-throughput AM of thermoplastic polymers that enables on-demand production of objects that exhibit exceptional dimensional quality, mechanical properties, and recyclability characteristics.
