    摘要: Processes and device configurations are provided for extracting navigation observables and navigation using low earth orbit (LEO) signals. Methods and systems described herein can detect one or more low earth orbit (LEO) satellite downlink signals, and determine carrier phase observables and Doppler observables from the downlink signals in order to determine position estimates. Processes can include determining at least one carrier phase observable from the one or more LEO satellite downlink signals, wherein determining the at least at least one carrier phase observable includes tracking a modified beat carrier phase of a sample of a detected LEO signal by performing an estimation operation for a time period and adaptive updating of measurement noise. Processes can include use of position estimates for navigation and navigation based on carrier phase tracking. Processes are also provided for determination of satellite synchronization signals (SS) from downlink transmissions using subspace detection.

    摘要: A computer-free system and method is disclosed that uses an all-optical image reconstruction method to see through random diffusers at the speed of light. Using deep learning, a set of transmissive layers are trained to all-optically reconstruct images of arbitrary objects that are distorted by random phase diffusers. After the training stage, the resulting diffractive layers are fabricated and form a diffractive optical network that is physically positioned between the unknown object and the image plane to all-optically reconstruct the object pattern through an unknown, new phase diffuser. Unlike digital methods, all-optical diffractive reconstructions do not require power except for the illumination light. This diffractive solution to see through diffusive and/or scattering media can be extended to other wavelengths, and can fuel various applications in biomedical imaging, astronomy, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, security, robotics, autonomous vehicles, among many others.

    摘要: Hybrid materials are disclosed including molecular/protein crystals integrated with synthetic polymers. The disclosed materials combine the structural order and periodicity of crystals, the adaptiveness and tunable mechanical properties of polymeric networks, and the chemical versatility of protein building blocks. Some of the properties of the disclosed materials include the following: 1) allows crystals-which are typically rigid and brittle—to expand and contract reversibly; 2) incorporates polymers to increase the mechanical toughness of the crystals and allow self-healing; 3) reversibly expand/contract crystal lattices and mobilize the protein components therein may provide a new means to improve X-ray diffraction quality and explore otherwise inaccessible protein structural states using 3D protein crystallography; 4) creation of chemically and mechanically differentiated domains within single crystals. Some example embodiments combine the properties of hydrogels (flexibility, adaptability, elasticity, self-healing), crystals (structural order) and proteins (chemical and genetic tailorability).
