Windows Defog System, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

As a solution to resolve the fog issue in the vehicle windows, in this pager we propose two methods: the first by using a flex polyimide flex heater film with an electrical resistor and as a second solution a polyimide film with a conductive ink. These methods offer a competitive cost benefit value against other defogging systems.

By designing the door panel in the area of the previous insert as an integrated insert element, the previously separate insert element can be omitted in both production and assembly and you still have the impression that the component is in three parts although it only consists of two components.

Deep Content Understanding For Recipe Guidance Using A Large Language Model, Nagaraj Kota, Varsha Kukreja, Jatin Jindal

Defensive Publications Series

Online recipe searches performed by users are often highly personalized; users seek specific culinary guidance, cooking methods, styles, etc. A large language model (LLM) can be used to generate recipe insights. However, an LLM can generate ungrounded results, and/or miss specific nuances of recipes along dimensions specified by the user. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage a large language model (LLM) to mine, aggregate, and summarize recipe information across multiple pages/sources and to deliver personalized, contextual, and insightful responses to user queries for recipes via a deep understanding of the pages/sources of the recipe. Recipe tips and guidance snippets are …

Annotating Table Data Using Separate Tables, Lenny Turetsky, Daniel V. Klein

Defensive Publications Series

There are no mechanisms for users to provide comments on graphs and charts with aggregated data or at data line level generated from a database. Solutions such as changing schemas of the original database tables or making duplicates of the original tables are sub-optimal and require substantial user effort. This disclosure describes techniques that enable users to add annotations to data records in a database and to retrieve such annotations using data queries, including while extracting aggregations of data. While aggregating the data, annotations from reference data can be included when data is grouped by a particular field. Annotations can …

Nevada’S Care Workforce: Obstacles And Opportunities For Policymakers, David Damore, Caitlin J. Saladino, William E. Brown Jr., Fatma Nasoz

Policy Briefs and Reports

The care economy includes “the paid and unpaid labor and services that support caregiving in all its forms.” This work includes caring for children, the elderly, and those who are ill or have disabilities. Care work is often undervalued, underpaid, and without a fair system of work benefits in place (e.g. contracts, paid leave, workers’ rights) that in many cases falls disproportionately on women and communities of color. In this policy brief, we examine the care economy in Nevada by focusing on three areas of care: (1) child care; (2) elder care; and (3) mental and behavioral health care. In …

Inactivation Of Bacteria Using Synergistic Hydrogen Peroxide With Split-Dose Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field Exposures., Zachary Rosenzweig, Jerrick Garcia, Gary L Thompson, Lark Perez

College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research

The use of pulsed electric fields (PEF) as a nonthermal technology for the decontamination of foods is of growing interest. This study aimed to enhance the inactivation of Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, and Salmonella enterica in Gomori buffer using a combination of nsPEF and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Three sub-MIC concentrations (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%) of H2O2 and various contact times ranging from 5-45 min were tested. PEF exposures as both single (1000 pulse) and split-dose (500+500 pulse) trains were delivered via square-wave, monopolar, 600 ns pulses at 21 kV/cm and 10 Hz. We demonstrate that >5 log CFU/mL reduction can …

A Dynamical Systems Approach For Modeling Malware Propagating Through A Network And Potential Solutions Towards Mitigating Spread, James Johnson

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

Many people draw close parallels between malware propagating through a network and an epidemic spreading through a population. Epidemics are often modeled by a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model, in which a similar system of equations can model the spread of a virus through a computer network, and can be simplified when making assumptions about the network itself and its fixed number of nodes and edges. In this instance, malware propagating in a network also should reflect the network it is propagating through, in which the dynamical system will factor in the nodes of the network and their properties. The system itself …

Enhancing 3d Knowledge-Based Authentication In Vr By Having Fun, William James Doyle V, Christopher Kreider

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

In the modern era of cyber attacks, and an ever-changing online world, safety and security must constantly evolve to fit the current standards. In virtual reality (VR) simple keyboard-typed passwords are a thing of the past. These passwords are complicated and frustrating to input. Along with the creation of VR, it also opened the door to a new era of password-based authentication. Using these systems' technology, password inputting can be a fun experience. These passwords are not only easier, and less frustrating to input, but as shown in previous studies, they can also be faster while still being secure. In …

Soc-Based Control System Performance Analysis For Trapped-Ion Quantum Computing, Tiamike Dudley

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Scatter-gather dynamic-memory-access (SG-DMA) is utilized in applications that require high bandwidth and low latency data transfers between memory and peripherals, where data blocks, described using buffer descriptors (BDs), are distributed throughout the memory system. The data transfer organization and requirements of a Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer (TIQC) possess characteristics similar to those targeted by SG-DMA. In particular, the ion qubits in a TIQC are manipulated by applying control sequences consisting primarily of modulated laser pulses. These optical pulses are defined by parameters that are (re)configured by the electrical control system. Variations in the operating environment and equipment make it necessary to …

Improving The Performance Of The Modal Holographic Wavefront Sensor By Adapting To Prevailing Turbulence Conditions: Experimental Verification, Andreas Zepp, Emma Branigan, Kevin Murphy, Szymon Gladysz

Conference Papers

The modal holographic wavefront sensor offers a promising alternative to established wavefront sensing techniques. Since the strengths of individual aberration modes are directly measured, there is no need for time-consuming signal processing and wavefront reconstruction. Bandwidths up to three orders of magnitude higher than those of commercial wavefront sensors can in principle be achieved. However, in practice the accuracy of measurements is compromised by intermodal crosstalk, which arises when the wavefront exhibits additional aberrations to those encoded in the modal wavefront sensor. This issue is particularly prominent when measuring wavefronts disturbed by atmospheric turbulence. To mitigate the effects of intermodal …
