    Abstract: An adaptive modulation, coding and spreading (AMCS) transmitter is configured to map modulation symbols to a plurality of OFDM subcarriers to generate symbol-modulated subcarriers. For AMCS, some of the modulation symbols may be mapped to individual subcarriers (e.g., similar to conventional OFDM) and one or more of the modulation symbols may be mapped to (i.e., spread across) more than one of the subcarriers (i.e., unlike conventional OFDM) based on a spreading ratio. An IFFT may be performed on the symbol-modulated subcarriers prior to transmission. AMCS allows for adaptation to lower capacity and/or frequency-selective channels by optionally spreading existing modulations over multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS expands the catalog for possible modulations/codings by splitting a symbol across multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS is particularly useful when channel conditions are highly frequency-dependent or uniformly low capacity

    Abstract: A tunable oscillator including a Josephson junction. In some embodiments, the tunable oscillator includes a first superconducting terminal, a second superconducting terminal, a graphene channel including a portion of a graphene sheet, and a conductive gate. The first superconducting terminal, the second superconducting terminal, and the graphene channel together may form a Josephson junction having an oscillation frequency, and the conductive gate may be configured, upon application of a voltage across the conductive gate and the graphene channel, to modify the oscillation frequency.

    Abstract: A method of generating electricity in a body of water includes providing a colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria, a colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and a colony of denitrifying bacteria submerged in the body of water. The colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of sulfates present in the body of water to hydrogen sulfide. The colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can be used to convert the hydrogen sulfide to sulfuric acid, which can react with manganese to produce hydrogen gas. The colony of denitrifying bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of nitrogen oxides in the body of water to nitrogen gas, which can be bubbled through a portion of water from the body of water to remove dissolved oxygen gas. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas can be combined in a fuel cell generator to generate electricity.

    Abstract: A technology is described for pixel frequency filtering for event cameras. An example of the technology can include receiving events representative of changes in brightness detected by a pixel in a pixel array included in the event camera, tracking a number of event sign transitions that occur within a defined time window, determining that the number of event transitions corresponds to an event transition frequency, and allowing the events generated by the pixel to be output from the event camera.

    Abstract: Techniques for privacy-preserving contact tracing are disclosed, including: generating, by a first user device, a first proximity token for contact tracing; receiving, by the first user device, a second proximity token from a second user device; generating, by the first user device, a hash based on the first proximity token and the second proximity token; generating, by the first user device using a prover function of a preprocessing zero knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (pp-zk-SNARK), a cryptographic proof attesting that an individual associated with the first user device tested positive for a pathogen; and transmitting, by the first user device, publicly verifiable exposure data including at least the cryptographic proof and the hash to a public registry.
