Abstract: There is provided an ultra-light decoder for high speed digital communications based on block codes such as turbo product codes (TPCs). The new decoder can perform soft decision decoding without an algebraic hard decision decoder, which is the core of conventional soft decision decoders. The elimination of algebraic decoder significantly reduces the number of computations required per codeword, consequently, it reduces the decoding delay and processing power. However, reducing the decoding delay would immediately enable increasing the transmission speed, and minimize the need for large buffers at the receiver. Moreover, reducing the complexity and delay would enable using codes with high code rates to increase the system capacity, or use powerful codes with low code rates to reduce the transmission power. Such benefits can be achieved for about 1 dB loss in coding gain. There is also provided a receiver comprising the ultra-light decoder, as well as a decoding process.

Abstract: A fetal phonocardiogram system featuring an array of acoustic sensors designed to be temporarily affixed to a pregnant patient to convert the vibrations associated with a fetal heartbeat and/or fetal movement into a signal. The signal can be amplified and transferred to a processing element for filtering non-fetal sounds in order to resolve the fetal heartbeat. The filtered signal can be used in conjunction with an array of multiple acoustic sensors to locate a fetal position relative to the array.

Abstract: Disclosed is an energy mixer having a first active diode coupled between a first input node and an output node, and a second active diode coupled between a second input node and the output node. A first capacitor is coupled between the first input node and a dynamic node, and a second capacitor is coupled between the second input node and a third node. Switching circuitry is configured to selectively couple the dynamic node between a fixed voltage node and the second input node in response to a control signal provided by control circuitry. When an output voltage at the output node is within a first range, the dynamic node is coupled to the fixed voltage node and when the output voltage is within a lower voltage second range, the dynamic node is coupled to the second input node such that first capacitor and second capacitor are coupled in series.

Abstract: A device and method for detecting COVID-19 and other pathogens includes a sample compartment contained within an interior of the device and having multiple apertures for releasably receiving one or more test tubes containing a biological sample. A bottom portion of the test tube is contained within the interior of the device and a top portion of the test tube is exposed to atmosphere. The biological sample is lysed using the device; the lysed sample is mixed with one or more primers and then amplification (RT-LAMP) is performed using the device. A thermally conductive material on or in proximity to the sample compartment can facilitate precise heating of the compartment and sample. A thermally insulative material can be inside the interior of the housing. Multiple samples can be tested simultaneously. The results can be interpreted by a color change of the sample. The device is efficient, portable, reliable, and re-usable.

Abstract: Methods herein disclosed include methods of producing a nanoporous membrane by coating a planar substrate (204) with a solution (solution tank 201) containing a reactive metal adatom. The coated planar substrate can then be perforated by initiating a redox reaction between the reactive metal adatom and the planar substrate that causes the reactive metal adatom to remove material, forming nanoscale pores in the planar substrate that result in a nanoporous planar material. This nanoporous planar material can be formed into a nanoporous membrane.

Abstract: Techniques for measuring vacuum pressure using a memristor element are described. A vacuum sensor can include a memristor element having a semiconductor substrate, a memristive material layer, and a conductive electrode. The off-state resistance of the memristor element can be sensitive to changes in ambient pressure at the element. The off-state resistance of the memristor element may also exhibit a well-defined increase at pressures below a threshold pressure. Measurement of the off-state resistance may be obtained with low power consumption and without changing the resistance or switching the state of the memristor element. The measurements may be used to both determine a leak rate of the ambient pressure within the volume of interest and determine if the sensor is exposed to vacuum pressure below the threshold pressure.
