Embodiments of the invention generally relate to epitaxial lift off (ELO) thin films and devices and methods for forming such films and devices. In one embodiment, a method for forming an ELO thin film includes depositing an epitaxial material over a sacrificial layer on a substrate, adhering a multi-layered support handle onto the epitaxial material, and removing the sacrificial layer during an etching process. The etching process further includes peeling the epitaxial material from the substrate and forming an etch crevice therebetween while maintaining compression in the epitaxial material. The method further provides that the multi-layered support handle contains a stiff support layer adhered to the epitaxial material, a soft support layer adhered to the stiff support layer, and a handle plate adhered to the soft support layer. In one example, the stiff support layer may contain multiple inorganic layers, such as metal layers, dielectric layers, or combinations thereof.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to a chemical vapor deposition system and related method of use. In one embodiment, the system includes a reactor lid assembly having a body, a track assembly having a body and a guide path located along the body, and a heating assembly operable to heat the substrate as the substrate moves along the guide path. The body of the lid assembly and the body of the track assembly are coupled together to form a gap that is configured to receive a substrate. In another embodiment, a method of forming layers on a substrate using the chemical vapor deposition system includes introducing the substrate into a guide path, depositing a first layer on the substrate and depositing a second layer on the substrate, while the substrate moves along the guide path; and preventing mixing of gases between the first deposition step and the second deposition step.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to a levitating substrate carrier or support. In one embodiment, a substrate carrier for supporting and carrying at least one substrate or wafer is provided which includes a substrate carrier body containing an upper surface and a lower surface, and at least one indentation pocket disposed within the lower surface. In another embodiment, the substrate carrier includes at least open indentation area within the upper surface, and at least two indentation pockets disposed within the lower surface. Each indentation pocket may be rectangular and have four side walls extending substantially perpendicular to the lower surface. In another embodiment, a method for levitating substrates disposed on a substrate carrier is provided which includes exposing the lower surface of a substrate carrier to a gas stream, forming a gas cushion under the substrate carrier, levitating the substrate carrier within a processing chamber, and moving the substrate carrier along a path within the processing chamber.

A fiber rotator mechanism for rotating a portion of an optical waveguide, specifically an optical fiber, about a longitudinal axis thereof comprises a motor having a tubular rotor through which the fiber extends, in use, and to which the fiber is secured, directly or indirectly. An optical fiber may be secured by means of a device which also compresses the optical fiber to induce a required birefringence, conveniently by means of a spring-loaded clamping device or a ferrule of shape memory material.

A method of estimating loss of a splice between first and second optical fibers spliced together by a mechanical splice or a mechanical splice-based connector having a portion through which light leaked from the splice can emerge comprises the steps of launching light into the first fiber, collecting light leaked from the portion using a multiplicity of ports, measuring the power level of the collected light and deriving the insertion loss from the measured power level, a predetermined power level and a collection factor C representing a relationship between measured power level, predetermined power level, power level of light in the first fiber, and power level of light coupled into the second fiber previously obtained for the same or similar connecting device. The ports may be angularly spaced about the axis of the connector or splice. The predetermined power level may be obtained by measuring light emerging from the connector but without the second fiber in position.

Terrain augmented display symbology improves a pilot's spatial awareness during aircraft approach and landing. The symbology includes a terrain-tracing, three-dimensional centerline that provides a visual cue of terrain elevations along an approach course to a runway. Additionally, the symbology includes terrain-tracing, three-dimensional lateral deviation marks representing deviations from the centerline. The symbology also includes an aircraft symbol shaped like an airplane and pointing towards the direction of travel. The pilot may be able to quickly interpret the terrain augmented display symbology and take actions based on the surrounding terrain elevation.
摘要:
Database management is described. A source data structure is copied to create a new data structure. Changes to the source data structure that occur during and after creation of the new data structure are accumulated in a file before they are added to the new data structure. Changes included in the file are subsequently applied to the second data structure.

A widely-tunable laser apparatus comprises a plurality of tunable lasers having different ranges that overlap to encompass a desired operating range of wavelengths (for example from 1250 nm to 1650 nm) of the widely-tunable laser apparatus. The tunable lasers are tunable synchronously and selectively with their respective outputs connected in common to sweep the output of the widely-tunable laser apparatus substantially continuously over said operating range. The tunable lasers share the same tuning means which has a plurality of independent channels, each for light from a respective one of the tunable lasers.
