Computer Hardware

The technology includes composites and methods for making the compositions to provide a metal matrix with dispersed inorganic oxide particles and a surface of a bound organofunctional group. The result is sub-micron reinforcement for solder which allows a superior service life especially in microelectronics.

Method for creating permalloy films with unique magnetic properties for use in MRAM and magnetic sensor applications.

A new augmented reality technique guides a user's attention to objects in 3D space. In addition to drawing the user's attention, it can be used to provide information and initiate procedures related to the object or to aid user navigation.

Easy to use and reliable virtual user interfaces are provided in augmented reality systems though the use of fiducials, or digital tattoos.

An algorithm and a circuit are provided for implementing high-speed CMOS analog decoders. This technology is useful for iterative decoding of turbo, low-density parity-check (LDPC) or turbo-like coded data.

This technology is a doped ternary semiconductor composition with exceptional figures of merit for thermoelectric generation (heat pump) in many applications.

A new type of neural network is introduced that uses a multi-layer design with in-place learning. This provides a simpler, more efficient, and more effective network architecture for neural networks that can be automatically trained for classification and regression analysis.

A single device with secure and private protocols is provided that aggregrates all of a user's access tokens and can replace key cards, wireless remote access fobs, and the like.

Freely observable variables from wireless LANs such as the Signal to Silence Ratio are used to estimate the bit error rate (BER) of received packets. Using cross-layer protocols, this information can be passed to the decoder for use in information recovery and can lead to significant improvement in video throughput.

A 3D, augmented reality system includes a video capture system for obtaining and transmitting 3D images of a user's face and a head-mounted display that provides an augmented reality environment in which the user observes both physical objects and virtual objects.
