Abstract: A system for controlling a tension of a tether between an object and a load tethered to the object comprises magnetorheological (MR) fluid actuator unit(s) including at least one torque source and at least one MR fluid clutch apparatus coupled to the at least one torque source to receive torque from the at least one torque source, the MR fluid clutch apparatus controllable to transmit a variable amount of torque via an output of the MR fluid actuator unit. A tensioning member is connected to the output so as to be pulled by the output member upon actuation of the magnetorheological fluid clutch apparatus, a free end of the tensioning member adapted to exert a pulling action when being pulled by the output member. Sensor(s) provide information indicative of a relation between the object and the load tethered to the object. A controller controls the at least one MR fluid clutch apparatus in exerting the pulling action based on said information.

Abstract: A system and method provide two-qubit gates and quantum computing circuits built therefrom. Pairs of qubits are inductively or capacitively coupled using a coupler that is driven using an off-resonant microwave drive. By controlling the drive, the ZZ interaction between the qubits can be precisely controlled. In particular, the interaction may be selectively reduced or suppressed, thereby isolating the qubits from each other, or the interaction may be increased to provide fast, controlled-Z, two-qubit gates with high fidelity. Moreover, qubits and couplers may be arranged according to their resonant frequencies into unit cells and replicated to arbitrary size, thereby forming a quantum computer.

Abstract: Liquid ventilator and methods integrating the concept of total liquid ventilation (TLV) using liquid volumes below functional residual capacity (FRC) of mammal's lungs are disclosed. Beyond the automatization of the whole process, the technology has been up-scaled to confirm that TLV at residual volumes below FRC can provide a safe procedure while enabling the full potential of TLV in a mammal such as humans or adult-sized animals. Such tidal liquid ventilation strongly differs from the previously known TLV approach, opening promising perspectives for a safer clinical translation. Also disclosed are apparatus and method for safe and fast induction of hypothermia during liquid ventilation of a mammal.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a base, and a plurality of deformable fins connected to a surface of the base. Some deformable fins have a free end configured to move away from the surface of the base as a function of a local temperature increase of the base. The deformable fins are distributed on the surface of the base to be exposed to a coolant flowing over the surface of the base, wherein a distribution of the deformable fins on the surface of the base is non-uniform.

Abstract: Time-to-digital converter (TDC) using multiple Vernier in a cascaded architecture reduces the timing jitter by decreasing the number of the ring oscillator cycles during the measurement processes. Time-to-digital converter (TDC) measurements using a third oscillator for the second Vernier process has significant advantages compared to changing the period of the second oscillator during the measurement cycle. The Vernier architecture described herein may operate with faster oscillators, reducing the number of intervals before converging and leading to a lower time conversion and a better timing jitter. Adding multiple cascaded Vernier interpolation may further improve the TDC measurement resolution while having only a small increment of time required to resolve the time interval calculations.

Abstract: The method can perform a quantum computation including, in sequence, initializing a plurality of qubits of a quantum processor, applying a sequence of quantum logic gates onto the qubits in accordance with a parameterized quantum circuit which is based on a problem Hamiltonian Ĥproblem and at least one additional Hamiltonian Ĥk which does not commute with Ĥproblem, and measuring the expectation value of Ĥproblem in the final state of the qubits.
