Not Available Laser diodes are critical to many lidar systems. They can be used by themselves or to pump solid state lasers to achieve higher pulse energies. However, conventional laser diodes are less efficient and less reliable when operated above room temperature. M

Not Available The potential for the use of magnetostrictive materials for a variety of applications from adaptive optics, robotics and automation, actuators, and linear motors is great. Several cryogenic magnetostrictive materials have been discovered recently that de

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An expert software system is proposed that will analyze digital polysomnographic data and identify EEG arousals based on standard criteria (ASDA report: EEG Arousals: Scoring Rules and Examples, Sleep, 1992). The algorithm logic closely follows the scoring rules… More
