Abstract: A method of countering a residual resonance experienced by an electronic communication device due to an activation of an actuator within the housing of the electronic communication device. The method includes determining an effective vibration behavior of the electronic communication device when activating the actuator according to a predetermined pattern, determining, based on the effective vibration behavior, a desired counter actuation signal, activating the actuator according to the predetermined pattern for a predetermined period of time, and upon expiration of the predetermined period of time, activating the actuator according to the desired counter actuation signal to counter an residual resonance experienced by the electronic communication device.

Abstract: An optical element for transmitting a light beam includes a waveguide configured to transmit the light beam from an input end to an output end and having an optical property that can be modified by deformation of the waveguide. A phase-shifter is affixed to the waveguide and is operable in response to a control signal to mechanically deform the waveguide sufficient to induce a phase shift in the light beam transmitted therethrough. The phase-shifter can include a PZT layer.

Abstract: A mobile communication device and associated control system is provided for determining a presence and location of pressure applied to the mobile communication device. The system can replace physical buttons on the mobile communication device. In embodiments, a sealed chamber, such as a tube, is filled with a pressure-transferring medium inside the sidewalls of the frame of the mobile communication device. Two (or more) pressure sensors can be mounted to the chamber to measure the pressure at two different locations in the chamber. In an embodiment, the time difference of the pressure wave arriving between the pressure sensors can indicate the location of the applied force. By knowing where the force is applied, a desired command from a user can be inferred.

Abstract: An optical switch includes a bus waveguide supported by a substrate, an actuation electrode supported by the substrate, the actuation electrode having fins that protrude in a direction perpendicular to the substrate and to the bus waveguide, and a reaction electrode having interdigitated fins configured to form a comb drive with the actuation electrode. When a voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is less than a lower threshold, the reaction electrode is positioned a first distance from the bus waveguide, when the voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is greater than an upper threshold, the reaction electrode is positioned a second distance from the bus waveguide, and the second distance is less than the first distance.

Abstract: An optical switch includes a first bus waveguide supported by a substrate, an optical antenna suspended over the first bus waveguide via a spring, and interdigitated electrodes coupling the substrate with optical antenna and configured to control a position of the optical antenna relative to the first bus waveguide. When a voltage difference applied to the interdigitated electrodes is less than a lower threshold, the optical antenna is at a first position offset from the first bus waveguide, when the voltage difference applied to the interdigitated electrodes is greater than an upper threshold, the optical antenna is at a second position offset from the first bus waveguide, and the offset at the second position is greater than at the first position.

Abstract: A system for selectively carbonizing a polymer coating on a substrate includes a laser, a memory, and a controller. The memory stores data associated with at least one characteristic of a substrate having a coating that includes a polymer material. The controller is operatively connected to the laser, and is configured to control the laser based on the data such that, in an open-air environment, an interaction between the laser and the polymer material carbonizes a portion of the coating, but does not sustain combustion of the polymer material. A method of producing an article with a selectively carbonized coating includes controlling a laser system such that interaction between a laser and a polymer material forming a coating on a substrate carbonizes a portion of the coating, but does not sustain a combustion of the polymer material in an open-air environment.

Abstract: An optical switch includes a bus waveguide and an optical antenna supported by a substrate, a first and second coupling waveguide, a first and second actuation electrode, and a first and second reaction electrode. The first coupling waveguide is disposed parallel with the substrate and aligned with the bus waveguide. The first reaction electrode is coupled with, and adjacent to, the first coupling waveguide. The second coupling waveguide is optically connected with the first coupling waveguide and suspended over and configured to optically couple with the optical antenna. The second reaction electrode is coupled with, and adjacent to, the second coupling waveguide. The first and second actuation electrodes are supported by the substrate and configured to control the position of the first and second coupling waveguide, respectively, relative to the bus waveguide and optical antenna, via the first and second reaction electrodes.
