Dust-Protective Blank Cover For High-Speed Modular Connector Slots, Jianquan Lou, Yongtao Jiang, Kevin Pan, Alpesh U. Bhobe
Dust-Protective Blank Cover For High-Speed Modular Connector Slots, Jianquan Lou, Yongtao Jiang, Kevin Pan, Alpesh U. Bhobe
Defensive Publications Series
A dust-protective blank cover is proposed herein for an unpopulated modular chassis slot. An inward-extending tray or carrier positions a rear protective element over an exposed high-speed connector mating region while the cover closes the chassis opening. By limiting accumulation of dust, fibers, and other debris before a card is installed, the cover may reduce contact contamination and related impedance discontinuities, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) reflections, bit error rate (BER) degradation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors, packet loss, and link failure. The protective element can be adapted to different slot and connector arrangements.
Firing-Point Attribution From Incoming Angle, Base-Station Timing Inference, And Sensor Health Monitoring For Electronic Targets, Conrad Young
Defensive Publications Series
Five methods are described for electronic scoring targets that report, for each registration, a time, a landing position, a velocity at the target and an incoming angle, and that also keep the raw per-sensor arrival data. (1) The measured incoming angle is corrected for its dependence on where the bullet landed on the target, using a per-target linear calibration fitted from the target's own history, so that the residual angle reflects the direction the bullet came from. (2) The corrected angle, relative to the competitor's own string, is converted to a lateral distance at the firing line and compared with …

Attributing Rifle Shots To Firing Points By Acoustic Timing, And Matching Them To Electronic Target Registrations, Conrad Young
Attributing Rifle Shots To Firing Points By Acoustic Timing, And Matching Them To Electronic Target Registrations, Conrad Young
Defensive Publications Series
A system records the muzzle blasts on a rifle firing line with two or more microphones, typically ordinary smartphones placed on or behind the line, detects the onset of each blast, and uses the differences in arrival time between microphones to attribute each shot to a firing point. Each attributed shot is then matched to the shot registrations reported by an electronic target system (or used on its own where targets are paper). The result is an independent record of which firing point fired when, used to detect crossfires, shots fired with no registration, registrations with no shot, extra or …
Predictive Instability-Driven Escalating Teleoperator Authority With Temporal Fall Triage And Menu-Based Recovery Selection For Humanoid Robots, Divya Garikapati
Predictive Instability-Driven Escalating Teleoperator Authority With Temporal Fall Triage And Menu-Based Recovery Selection For Humanoid Robots, Divya Garikapati
Defensive Publications Series
Humanoid robots maintain dynamic balance continuously, and disturbances such as collisions, surface irregularities, or payload shifts can lead to falls. Such falls cause damage and can injure nearby people. Balance recovery is conventionally fully autonomous, and remote operators are excluded from the recovery loop, even though many falls develop over several seconds. This disclosure describes a staged approach in which a composite stability health score is computed from multiple balance metrics. When instability is detected, the predicted time to the point of no return is used to classify the event into one of four temporal classes. Each class is routed …

Potential Application For Retrieval-Of-Analogy-Mapped Synthetics (Rams): Developing Synthetic Training Data For Large Language Models (Llms)., Herbert Gillis
Potential Application For Retrieval-Of-Analogy-Mapped Synthetics (Rams): Developing Synthetic Training Data For Large Language Models (Llms)., Herbert Gillis
Defensive Publications Series
ABSTRACT: Retrieval-of-Analogy-Mapped-Synthetics (RAMS): Generating High-Density Synthetic Reasoning Data for Large Language Model Training This disclosure describes a novel application of the Retrieval-of-Analogy-Mapped-Synthetics (RAMS) framework for the large-scale generation of synthetic training data focused on abstract reasoning, fluid intelligence, and out-of-distribution (OOD) semantic generalization. Building upon the previously disclosed Forward-RAMS prototype, the system automatically identifies structurally and functionally analogous concepts across semantically distant domains, while employing aggressive negative-token filtering to eliminate near-neighbor associations, synonyms, and domain-specific jargon. This constraint compels the underlying model to discover deeply isolated relational structures rather than rely upon superficial lexical similarity. The proposed approach enables rapid …

Hybrid Visual Search With Collage-Based Batch Verification, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
Large-scale visual search systems can present a trade-off between search speed and accuracy. A technique to address this can include using a fast embedding search to generate potential candidates. Thumbnail images of a query subject and multiple candidates can then be programmatically arranged into a composite image, such as a collage. This collage may be sent with a textual prompt to a VLM for batch verification, for instance, in a single transaction. Such a collage-based approach can amortize the cost and latency of VLM analysis across multiple candidates, which can improve search accuracy by helping to filter false positives and …

Role Of Oxidative Stress In Male And Female Infertility: Pathophysiology, Molecular Mechanisms, Diagnosis, And Therapeutic Perspectives., Saud N.A.
Maaen Journal for Medical Sciences
Infertility is a multifaceted reproductive disorder that affects about 15% of couples and constitutes a significant health burden with medical, psychological and socioeconomic implications. Historically, infertility has been linked to anatomical, hormonal and genetic defects; however, recent research has shown that oxidative stress is a key factor in the pathophysiology of male and female infertility. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can interfere with spermatogenesis, inhibit oocyte maturation and cause DNA damage, resulting in impaired embryo quality. Further, oxidative stress has been implicated in mitochondrial dysfunction, activation of apoptosis and inflammatory pathways such as nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and nuclear …
