Abstract:
Technologies are generally described to coordinate group members that may be at distinct locations and optionally moving in distinct directions to meet at a coordinated meeting point and/or to move in a common direction. A coordinated meeting point may optimize a parameter of interest for each of the group members or group as a whole. Example parameters may include distance, time, fuel usage, remaining resource levels, a network coverage, and group members' patience, mood, and/or tiredness factors. In some examples, a controller may determine the meeting point that minimizes a parameter of interest for the group members or whole group, where the meeting point may be stationary or dynamic. The controller may map the calculated meeting point to a geographical location, and may determine an optimal or preferred route from each group member to the meeting point to gather the group members together optimizing for a particular parameter of interest.
Abstract:
Technologies are described for enabling VCSELs to transmit phase or frequency modulated signals, which may have a substantially smaller transmission bandwidth and are more robust to transmission in a highly dispersive media such as multi-mode fibers. By applying an electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic field across one or more reflector layers of the VCSEL, a refractive index of the reflector layer(s) may be modified. The VCSEL may then be excited and the laser beam generated by the VCSEL phase-modulated by modifying a magnitude of the applied field.

Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for systems and methods configured to produce an executable code. In some examples, a developer may send machine language code to a system manager. The machine language code may include two or more machine language blocks and linking information. The system manager may include a processor configured to permute the machine language blocks to produce permuted machine language code. The processor may modify the linking information based on the permuted machine language code to produce modified linking information. The processor may link the permuted machine language code with use of the modified linking information to produce the executable code.

Abstract:
Techniques described herein generally include methods and systems related to a MEMS-based audio speaker system that includes a first movable element, formed from a first layer of a semiconductor substrate, and a second movable element, formed from a second layer of the semiconductor substrate that is a different layer than the first layer of the semiconductor substrate. The first movable element may be configured to oscillate along a first directional path substantially orthogonal to the first plane.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for calibrating three-dimensional image sensors. In some examples, an imaging system may include a sensor for detecting two-dimensional image data associated with a scene and a sensor for detecting depth data associated with the scene. Both sensors may also be configured to detect a reference signal used to illuminate the scene. The imaging system may then be configured to form three-dimensional data about the scene by using the reference signal to combine the two-dimensional image data and the depth data.

Abstract:
Techniques described herein generally relate to a refractometer. Using electromagnetic energy, the refractometer can accurately measure refractive index of a liquid without bulky precision optics. By empirically determining a relationship between the refractive index of a liquid sample and a measured reflected power from a resonant structure when in contact with the liquid sample, the refractive index of a liquid can be determined by measuring this reflected power. Furthermore, using multiple light sources of different frequencies, the refractive index of the liquid sample can be determined over a very broad spectral range, for example from ultra-violet to far infrared.
