    Abstract: A technique for detecting an environmental change to a delivery zone via an unmanned aerial vehicle includes obtaining an anchor image and an evaluation image, each representative of the delivery zone, providing the anchor image and the evaluation image to a machine learning model to determine an embedding score associated with a distance between representations of the anchor image and the evaluation image within an embedding space, and determining an occurrence of the environmental change to the delivery zone when the embedding score is greater than a threshold value.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a propulsion system, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor, a camera and a controller. The controller includes logic that, in response to execution by the controller, causes the UAV to in response to detecting a loss of tracking by the GNSS sensor determine an estimated location of the UAV on a map based on a location image captured by the camera, determine a route to a destination using tracking parameters embedded in the map, wherein the map is divided into a plurality of sections and the tracking parameters indicate an ease of determining a location of the UAV using images captured by the camera with respect to each section, and control the propulsion system to cause the UAV to follow the route to the destination.

    Abstract: A multi-channel photonic demultiplexer includes an input region to receive a multi-channel optical signal including four distinct wavelength channels, four output regions, each adapted to receive a corresponding one of the four distinct wavelength channels demultiplexed from the multi-channel optical signal, and a dispersive region optically disposed between the input region and the four output regions. The dispersive region includes a first material and a second material inhomogeneously interspersed to form a plurality of interfaces that each correspond to a change in refractive index of the dispersive region and collectively structure the dispersive region to optically separate each of the four distinct wavelength channels from the multi-channel optical signal and respectively guide each of the four distinct wavelength channels to the corresponding one of the four output regions.

    Abstract: Systems and kits for replenishing an electrowetting ophthalmic device are described. In an embodiment, the system includes an electrowetting ophthalmic device including a lens material defining a cavity encasing an aqueous electrowetting solution; a replenishing solution having an osmolarity approximately equal to an osmolarity of the aqueous electrowetting solution; and a container shaped to carry the electrowetting ophthalmic device and the replenishing solution and to position the electrowetting ophthalmic device in contact with the replenishing solution when the electrowetting ophthalmic device and the replenishing solution are carried by the container. In an embodiment, the osmolarity of the aqueous electrowetting solution is higher than an osmolarity of a tear fluid of an eye.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques are provided for analyzing time series data to detect anomalies. In some embodiments, the time series data is processed using a machine learning model. In some embodiments, the machine learning model is trained in an unsupervised manner on large amounts of previous time series data, thus allowing highly accurate models to be created from novel data. In some embodiments, training of the machine learning model alternates between a fitting optimization and a trimming optimization to allow large amounts of training data that includes untagged anomalous records to be processed. Because a machine learning model is used, anomalies can be detected within complex systems, including but not limited to autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aerial vehicles. When anomalies are detected, commands can be transmitted to the monitored system (such as an autonomous vehicle) to respond to the anomaly.

    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation systems include a UAV charging pad positioned at a storage facility, a plurality of fiducial markers positioned at the storage facility, and a UAV. Each fiducial marker is associated with a fiducial dataset storing a position of the fiducial marker, and each fiducial dataset is stored in a fiducial map. The UAV has a navigation system that includes a camera, a fiducial navigation sub-system, a non-fiducial navigation sub-system, and logic that when executed causes the UAV to image a first fiducial marker with the camera, to transition from a non-fiducial navigation mode to a fiducial navigation mode, to access from the fiducial map the fiducial dataset storing the position of the first fiducial marker, and to navigate based upon the fiducial dataset storing the position of the first fiducial marker, into alignment with and land on the UAV charging pad.

    Abstract: A contact lens system includes a shared antenna electrode, an accommodation actuator to provide variable optical power, and a controller coupled to the accommodation actuator and the shared antenna electrode. The controller including logic for arbitrating access to the shared antenna electrode between an impedance sensor and a communication circuit; selectively establishing an oscillator with the impedance sensor and the shared antenna electrode; correlating an oscillation condition of the oscillator to an accommodation setting; and adjusting the variable optical power of the accommodation actuator based upon the accommodation setting. An impedance across the shared antenna electrode varies based upon an amount an eyelid overlaps the contact lens system when the contact lens system is worn on an eye.
