Embedded waveguide including a substrate with a channel formed therein which includes conductive walls formed thereon and with solid via connections

Waveguides and methods for manufacturing a waveguide that include forming a first channel in a first layer of dielectric material, the first channel comprising one or more walls; forming a second channel in a second layer of dielectric material, the second channel comprising one or more walls; depositing electrically conductive material on the one or more walls of the first channel; depositing electrically conductive material on the one or more walls of the second channel; arranging the first layer adjacent to the second layer to form a stack with the first channel axially aligned with and facing the second channel; and heating the stack so that the conductive material on the one or more walls of the first channel and the conductive material on the one or more walls of the second channel connect to form the waveguide.

Toward biologically inspired self healing digital embedded devices: BIO-SymPle - 388

One of the more interesting concepts being postulated for next gen power plants, is the notion of highly resilient and survivable I and C systems. While resilience and survivability are 'cross system attributes', resilience and robustness will rely on highly robust and fault resilient devices as a foundation. This paper presents a new self-healing digital I and C architecture inspired by the operation of two biological concepts: human immune system and embryonic stem cells. The purpose of this research is look at different bio-inspired paradigms for organizing system functions so that they become inherently resilient due to device organization and behaviors. Our current proposed approach (called BIO-SymPle) is organized in two levels: critical service layer, which is providing the intended service of critical application, and healing layer, that supervises the operation of all repair mechanisms. To facilitate coordination, organized behavior among cells we employ network-based topology structures which is comprised of four active cells, four pre-generated redundant cells, and one embryonic stem cell. Collectively, the ensemble represents the building block that executes the local functionality based on the expression for DNA genetic codes stored inside each cell. The four bio-operational active cells are protected by their neighboring spare cells that imitate how white blood cells are distributed around the antigens in their locations. Ultimately, the proposed multi-layer architecture is able to cover a significant number of coincident faults and we believe architectures like BIO-SymPLe can positively impact the next generation digital I and C system.

Embedding Equity into Electric Vehicle Charging Station Design

Once a site location is selected for the installation of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, the next step is to plan and design the specific station. Local and state governments can require and/ or incentivize accessible and safe design elements, so the station is constructed in an equitable manner.

Embedding Equity into Community EV Readiness Planning

When planning to incorporate electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure into your community, there are opportunities to weave in equity considerations. This will streamline the approval process for federal funding while ensuring no community member is left behind during this nationwide transition to low-emissions transportation options.
