    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes obtaining radiation emitted from a radiation source. The method includes modulating the radiation with a time-varying modulation to generate a time-varying illumination pattern with a known modulation. The illumination pattern includes a time-varying intensity for each of a plurality of spatial locations. The method includes illuminating a target volume with the illumination pattern. The method includes collecting a signal generated by one or more objects within the target volume in response to illumination by the illumination pattern. The method includes estimating a location of each of the one or more objects based on the collected signal and the known modulation.

    Abstract: A topological spin memory effect, defined as the recovery of magnetic skyrmions or magnetic bubble skyrmions in magnetic thin films after a transition to a dramatically different spin texture, is used for encrypted non-volatile information storage. The storage strategy is based on magnetic skyrmions, that is, topologically protected spin textures comprising chiral domain walls surrounding small (e.g., nanometers to microns in diameter), typically circular, single-domain cores. Systems and methods are described for encrypted non-volatile information storage based on a spin memory effect in magnetic thin films that support skyrmions. Systems and methods encrypt and recover information stored in the form of magnetic skyrmions.

    Abstract: A biocompatible implant, as well as method of fabricating the implant and repairing an annular defect in annulus fibrosus (AF) of an intervertebral disc (IVD) disposed in a functional spinal unit (FSU), includes an insert that provides faces that can interface with the defect to repair or treat the AF. The implant can deliver biological and mechanical factors to enhance healing in an annular defect and prevent recurrence of herniation symptoms. The implant can be fabricated using a hybrid of first fibrous scaffold structure including at least a first layer and a second layer of first fibers fabricated via three-dimensional fiber deposition (3FD) and second fibrous scaffold structure including a third layer and a fourth layer of second fibers formed via melt electrowriting (MEW). Suitable attachment methods, including bio-adhesives can be used to bond the implant to the IVD and/or FSU.

    Abstract: An ultra-efficient turbo-compression cooling system links an organic Rankine power cycle and a vapor compression cooling cycle using a turbine and compressor that shares a single shaft and further linked to an evaporative condenser. The power cycle implements a waste heat exchanger configured to evaporate a working fluid and a turbine configured to receive the evaporated working fluid. The turbine has a plurality of vanes disposed around a central shaft and configured to rotate as the working fluid expands to a lower pressure within the turbine. An evaporative condenser then condenses the working fluid to a saturated liquid and a mechanical pump pumps the saturated liquid to reenter the waste heat waste heat exchanger. The cooling cycle implements a compressor configured to increase the pressure of the working fluid, with the evaporative condenser (shared with the power cycle) configured to condense the working fluid to a saturated liquid upon exiting the compressor, an expansion valve wherein the working fluid expands to a lower pressure, and an evaporator rejecting heat from a circulating fluid to the working fluid, thereby cooling the circulating fluid.
