This paper presents the design of an implantable neural probe with 8 optical switches that can route the beams in the different brain regions which are sensitive to near-infrared (1550 nm) for thermogenetic applications. The presented probe, which is fabricated in a standard SOI technology, can enable robust activation of neurons using thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels with a higher spatial and temporal resolution, thanks to the utilization of optical switches and grating couplers with precise spot stimulation. Each optical switch is linked to a waveguide and a grating coupler, enabling simultaneous stimulation of different sites within the brain. The activation or deactivation of optical switches allows controlling passage of light through the desired waveguide to effectively providing optical stimulation to specific neurons or neural circuits. The optical switch works based on the thermo-optics effect that consists of a silicon Multimode Interference (MMI) as an optical splitter and a Titanium nitride (TiN) metal heater that is used for changing the refractive index for pi-phase shifting. The measured pi-phase shifting power was 19.8 mW with an extinction ratio of 23 dB at 1550 nm. Also, we used a TiN metal as a temperature sensor for controlling the heater. The difference in the temperature sensor impedance was 0.7 Omega when the power was applied to the heater.

Domain-Driven design (DDD) is an approach that proposes to align business and technical concerns through analysis of the business domain. Microservices practitioners have adopted this approach in software development. However, there is no certainty of the patterns, techniques, and artifacts used. This study analyzes and reports the state of the literature on DDD usage for microservices-based systems development. This study is intended for practitioners and researchers on Microservice Architecture (MSA), DDD, or both. A systematic mapping study followed seven research questions as a guideline, resulting in 27 studies identified to answer the questions through data analysis and synthesis. As a summary of the findings: (i) The microservice identification through domain or legacy system decomposition is the main objective for which DDD was used. (ii) There were 31 MSA systems and 11 design artifacts related to DDD. (iii) Bounded context was the pattern most used for microservices design, followed by Entity and Aggregate. (iv) There were three technologies related to DDD applied in MSA systemsdesign. (v) A total of six techniques used together with DDD were identified. (vi) Six limitations were reported in development descriptions. (vii) Sixteen proposals for MSA systems development with DDD were identified and grouped into five types. As a conclusion of this work, DDD allowed the authors to get a design solution driven by domain knowledge that was detailed using other artifacts, techniques, and proposals.

Existing tail surface lighting technology is expensive and only irradiates LED light from the front, requiring multiple optical parts and air gaps for effective light diffusion. The 4FLED technology, which stands for "4 Faces LED," offers a cost-effective solution by providing 360-degree light irradiation from four directions. This reduces the need for additional optical parts and spaces, saving costs. Two wavelengths, normal red (614 nm) and super red (630 nm), are available, offering expanded choices for customers. The 4FLED system aligns with global design trends by reducing costs while maintaining high efficiency and design flexibility, appealing to many customers. It has been proven suitable for vehicles through ECE Regulation tests and high heat resistance reliability tests.

The technologies in the eXtended Reality (XR) field have been rapidly developing in the last few years, allowing for their effective implementation in many different applications, beside the entertainment world they are more commonly associated to. This paper studies the integration of virtual and mixed reality elements in a concurrent engineering environment. More specifically, eXtended Reality tools will be employed in the Concurrent design Facility that is being developed at the Capodimonte Astronomical Observatory in Naples, in the scope of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan project "STILES - Strengthening the Italian leadership in ELT and SKA". The XR environment will aid in the definition of the design, allowing the participants of a concurrent engineering session to inspect and manipulate complex 3D models, enabling detailed examinations of components, interfaces and potential issues. This immersive experience helps to identify design flaws and possible criticalities during various phases of the assembly, integration and operation of astronomical instrumentation, that would not be as easily found during a standard design review process. Other applications are also foreseen, including training of personnel for maintenance operations. The best way to properly integrate these tools in the design process, with the aim of effectively supporting the concurrent approach philosophy of effort and time efficiency is under study, as the Naples facility is built and tested in all its features and possibilities.
