20090070402 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK OF QUANTUM COMPUTERS - A problem solving system includes a number of special-purpose computers including at least one quantum computer. Problems are decomposed into sub-problems and routed to one of the special-purpose computers based on the problem class to which the problem belongs. Sub-solutions produced by the special-purpose computers are complied to produce at least an approximate solution to the problem. | 03-12-2009 |
20110089405 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - Various techniques and apparatus permit fabrication of superconductive circuits and structures, for instance Josephson junctions, which may, for example be useful in quantum computers. For instance, a low magnetic flux noise trilayer structure may be fabricated having a dielectric structure or layer interposed between two elements or layers capable of superconducting. A superconducting via may directly overlie a Josephson junction. A structure, for instance a Josephson junction, may be carried on a planarized dielectric layer. A fin may be employed to remove heat from the structure. A via capable of superconducting may have a width that is less than about 1 micrometer. The structure may be coupled to a resistor, for example by vias and/or a strap connector. | 04-21-2011 |
20130088684 | Optical Element for Correcting Color Blindness - Described herein are devices, compositions, and methods for improving color discernment. | 04-11-2013 |
20150066538 | Communication Device Resource Allocation Based On Medical Data Criticality and Resource Status - Methods and devices are disclosed for managing a resource of a communication device configured to process and communicate medical data in addition to other data. The systems and devices may implement the method, including determining whether to switch to a medical mode based on at least one signal. In response to determining to switch to the medical mode, the communication device may be switched to the medical mode. A resource status associated with a plurality of resources used by the communication device may be weighed against a medical data criticality associated with the medical data managed by the communication device. The method may include allocating a resource of the plurality of resources on a sliding priority scale. The allocating may include allocating a resource of the plurality of resources preferentially to the medical data over the other data. | 03-05-2015 |

20150234986 | Medical Air Interface - Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable classification levels to be assigned to air interfaces used to transmit medical data based on health regulatory requirements. A medical communication abstraction layer executing on a computing device (or node) may determine the requirements associated with a classification level and establish air interfaces meeting those requirements with other devices (or nodes) also having medical communication abstraction layers, thereby establishing a medical data network between the devices (or nodes) meeting the requirements for the classification level. Medical data may also be assigned classification levels, and the assigned classification level of the medical data may be used by the medical communication abstraction layers to determine the medical data networks over which the medical data may be transmitted. | 08-20-2015 |
20150241393 | Ultrasonic Authenticating Button - Embodiments of an ultrasonic button and methods for using the ultrasonic button are disclosed. In one embodiment, an ultrasonic button may include an ultrasonic transmitter configured to transmit an ultrasonic wave, a piezoelectric receiver layer configured to receive a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave, a platen layer configured to protect the ultrasonic transmitter and the piezoelectric receiver layer, a first matching layer configured to match an acoustic impedance of the platen layer with an acoustic impedance of ridges of a finger, and an ultrasonic sensor array configured to detect the finger using the reflected wave. | 08-27-2015 |
20150317855 | BIOMETRICS FOR USER IDENTIFICATION IN MOBILE HEALTH SYSTEMS - A wearable device may include a sensor system capable of obtaining physiological from a user's body. Some wearable devices may include a substance delivery system. A sensor system of a wearable device may include at least one “bio-assurance sensor” capable of obtaining biometric data that may be used to identify a user. For example, the bio-assurance sensor may be used to ensure that the wearable device is not removed from the user's body and/or placed on or in another user's body. In some examples, the wearable device may be used with a second device, such as a smart phone, that includes at least one “authentication sensor,” such as a fingerprint sensor, that also may be used to identify a user. However, in some implementations the wearable device may include at least one authentication sensor. | 11-05-2015 |
