    Abstract: A common gate input circuit for III/V D-mode Buffered FET Logic (BFL) maximizes the dynamic range to drive a level shift section to set the proper voltage levels to switch the BFL and allows for decoupling of the switch point from the dynamic range. A common gate switching section includes a D-mode FET (FET1) configured as a load and a D-mode FET (FET2) configured as a common gate connected in series between high and low supplies Vdd and Vee1 (typically ground potential). The gate electrode of FET2 is coupled to Vee1 and the source electrode of FET2 is driven by the external digital signals. This eliminates the additional supply Vss, thus maximizing the dynamic range of the section to switch between Vdd and Vee1 and decouples the dynamic range from the switch point. An input level shift section may shift the Data In to the source electrode of FET2 to shift the switch point and to present a high input impedance.

    Abstract: A sight frame assembly for a weapon simulator includes one or more connection arms. The connection arms are for slidably coupling the sight frame assembly to the weapon simulator. The connection arms include a passageway for slidably receiving a guide rod that is attached to a sight frame assembly mounting point on the weapon simulator. A spring is positioned in proximity to the guide rod. The sight frame assembly is disposed in a first position along a longitudinal axis of the weapon simulator when the spring is in an uncompressed state, and the sight frame assembly is disposed in a second position along the longitudinal axis of the weapon simulator when the spring is in a compressed state.

    Abstract: A method of controlling access to a network includes receiving, from a node, a request to access the network. A challenge is sent to the node, the challenge configured to elicit a node fingerprint from the node. The node fingerprint is based on the challenge and on unique characteristic data of a physically unclonable function (PUF), at the node. An expected fingerprint is generated for the node based on the challenge and on characteristic data information associated with the unique characteristic data of the PUF. The characteristic data information is accessed from a location that is independent of and separate from the node. The node is authenticated to the network, to allow the node to access to the network, if the received node fingerprint matches the expected fingerprint. The first node is denied any access to the network if the received node fingerprint does not match the expected fingerprint.

    Abstract: Described herein is a positioning spring configured to rotatably engage with a rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft is configured to rotate relative to the positioning spring. The positioning spring comprises a first compliant lobe positioned at a first radial position. The first compliant lobe is configured to engage with one or more detent surfaces of the rotatable shaft to resist rotation of the rotatable shaft and to bias the rotatable shaft in one or more angular positions. The first compliant lobe is configured to flex upon engagement of the first compliant lobe with the rotatable shaft at a surface position out of contact with the detent surface.

    Abstract: Techniques for multi-factor pathfinding are disclosed. A system receives multiple data sets that represent multiple physical properties associated with multiple three-dimensional coordinates of a physical environment. The system generates multiple weighted data layers corresponding to the physical properties, at least by applying weights to the data sets. The system generates a multi-factor costmap for the three-dimensional environment, based at least on the weighted data layers. The system determines a path through the three-dimensional environment, based at least on the multi-factor costmap.
