Abstract:
A submergible wave energy converter and method for using the same are described. In one embodiment, the wave energy converter may be used for deep water operations. In one embodiment, the submergible wave energy converter is an autonomous unmanned vehicle that enables remote ocean power generation. In one embodiment, the wave energy converter apparatus comprises an absorber having a body with an upper surface and a bottom surface and at least one power take-off (PTO) unit coupled to the absorber and configured to displace movement of the absorber body relative to a reference, where the power take-off unit is operable to perform motion energy conversion based on displacement of the absorber body relative to the reference in response to wave excitation, and where the power take-off unit is operable to return the absorber body from a displaced position to a predefined equilibrium position and to provide a force acting on the absorber body for energy extraction.
Abstract:
System and methods are disclosed for improving manufacturing processes, improving manufactured products, and improving deployed devices. The devices can be reconfigurable holographic antennas ("antennas"). Manufacturing test results for a plurality of antennas is collected. Field performance data and antenna management information is collected for a plurality of deployed antennas. Query selection criteria, machine learning correlation criteria and a minimum correlation threshold are passed to a server to query for matching records from a data store and to perform machine learning on the query results to generate improvements to processes, manufactured antenna performance and deployed antenna performance.
Abstract:
A storage capacitor and method for using the same in an antenna aperture are described. In one embodiment, an antenna comprises a physical antenna aperture having first and second substrates forming an array of radio-frequency (RF) radiating antenna elements that are controlled and operable together to form a beam for the frequency band for use in holographic beam steering, wherein each of the antenna elements is coupled to a circuit to supply a voltage to the said each antenna element and a storage capacitor formed with a plurality of conductive layers (e.g., metal layers) on a first substrate, wherein top and bottom conductive layers of the plurality of conductive layers are at a first voltage that is equal to a second voltage on a conductive layer (e.g., a metal layer) of the second substrate to reduce parasitic capacitance produced between the storage capacitor and the conductive layer on the second substrate.
Abstract:
A data storage system is described with an array of front fans and moving doors for airflow control. In one example an enclosure is configured to mount in a rack. A horizontal plane board in the enclosure has memory connectors aligned in a row and external interfaces. Memory cards connect to a respective memory connector of the board. Removable fans at the front of the enclosure push air along the memory cards to the rear and doors at the front of the enclosure, each have an open position to accommodate a corresponding fan and a closed position to block airflow when the corresponding fan is removed.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating multi-resolution deferred shading using texel shaders in computing environments. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating computation of shading rate in a first pass in a graphics pipeline, where the shading rate relates to a plurality of pixels. The method may further include facilitating texel shading operations in a second pass using the shading rate, where the first pass is performed separate from and prior to the second pass.

Abstract:
Fabric encapsulated resilient storage is hardware-assisted resilient storage in which the reliability capabilities of a storage server are abstracted and managed transparently by a host fabric interface (HFI) to a switch. The switch abstracts the reliability capabilities of a storage server into a level of resilience in a hierarchy of levels of resilience. The resilience levels are accessible by clients as a quantifiable characteristic of the storage server. The resilience levels are used by the switch fabric to filter which storage servers store objects responsive to client requests to store objects at a specified level of resilience.
Abstract:
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a stacked switch circuit having protection circuitry to prevent shoot through current when the switch is in an off state and respective voltages at the terminals of the switch change such that before the change one of the terminals of the switch has the higher voltage and after the change the other terminal of the switch has the higher voltage.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating smart capturing of whiteboard contents according to one embodiment.
