Abstract: Some variations provide a method of forming a transparent icephobic coating, comprising: obtaining a hardenable precursor comprising a first component and a plurality of inclusions containing a second component, wherein one of the first component or the second component is a low-surface-energy polymer, and the other is a hygroscopic material; applying mechanical shear and/or sonication to the hardenable precursor; disposing the hardenable precursor onto a substrate; and curing the hardenable precursor to form a transparent icephobic coating. The coating contains a hardened continuous matrix containing regions of the first component separated from regions of the second component on an average length scale of phase inhomogeneity from 10 nanometers to 10 microns, such as less than 1 micron, or less than 100 nanometers. The transparent icephobic coating may be characterized by a light transmittance of at least 50% at wavelengths from 400 nm to 800 nm, through a 100-micron coating.

Abstract: Described is a system for evaluating and correcting perception errors in object detection and recognition. The system receives perception data from an environment proximate a mobile platform. Perception probes are generated from the perception data which describe perception characteristics of object detections in the perception data. For each perception probe, probabilistic distributions for true positive and false positive values are determined, resulting in true positive and false negative perception probes. Statistical characteristics of true positive perception probes and false positive perception probes are then determined. Based on the statistical characteristics, true positive perception probes are clustered. An axiom is generated to determine statistical constraints for perception validity for each perception probe cluster. The axiom is evaluated to classify the perception probes as valid or erroneous. Optimal perception parameters are generated by solving an optimization problem based on the axiom. The perception module is adjusted based on the optimal perception parameters.

Abstract: A method for issuing control signals in response to sentiment. In some embodiments, the method includes: assigning, to each of a plurality of comments, a respective topic vector of length k; determining whether a largest element of the topic vector of a first comment of the plurality of comments exceeds a weight threshold; in response to the determining that the largest element exceeds the weight threshold, classifying the first comment into a first topic, of k topics, the first topic corresponding to the position, in the topic vector, of the largest element of the topic vector; calculating a first sentiment score; calculating an average sentiment score, based in part on the first sentiment score; determining whether the average sentiment score meets a criterion; and in response to the determining that the criterion is met, generating a control signal, the control signal including a message related to the first topic.

Abstract: A method for creating at least one cavity in a semiconductor substrate including the steps of:
(a) partially ablating the semiconductor substrate from the top side with a laser to form a trench in the semiconductor substrate surrounding a cross section of the semiconductor material having the desired shape,
(b) machining the backside of the semiconductor substrate partially ablated in step (a) to reduce the semiconductor substrate to a final thickness that is equal to or less than the laser ablation depth to form a plug of semiconductor material unattached to a remainder of the semiconductor substrate; and
(c) removing the plug of semiconductor material from the semiconductor substrate to form the at least one cavity with cross section of desired shape extending through the semiconductor substrate.-

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a nanofunctionalized magnetic material feedstock comprising: from 50 wt % to 99.5 wt % of magnetic microparticles having an average microparticle effective diameter from 1 micron to 500 microns; from 0.4 wt % to 40 wt % of one or more rare earth elements; and from 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of metal-containing inoculant nanoparticles, wherein at least 1 wt % of the inoculant nanoparticles are chemically and/or physically disposed on surfaces of the magnetic microparticles. The nanofunctionalized magnetic material feedstock is processed using high-throughput laser-based additive manufacturing to optimize the architecture of NdFeB or other magnets, generating site-specific, demagnetization-resistant microstructures. This disclosure teaches a rapid, single-step laser-based process to tailor the easy axis alignment, grain size, and microstructure of a permanent magnet at corners and edges to resist demagnetization.
