Abstract: An optical detection apparatus includes a housing having a circumferential opening therein. A primary mirror reflects light rays to form a first set of light rays to a secondary mirror that has a generally concave shape coupled to the housing. A tertiary mirror having a generally concave shape coupled to the housing spaced apart from the secondary mirror directs light to detection optics that form an image using the third set of light rays. The detection optics include a micro-mirror array that redirect the image to a detector. A controller controls the micro-mirror array and determines an event characteristic based upon the image thereon.

A plurality of pairs of oppositely polarized piezoelectric wafers deflect to produce an electrical current. Each pair of wafers are arranged back-to-back and electrically joined together. The plurality of pairs of wafers are each connected to a set of micro-machined parts. Each pair of wafers form a bimorph, configured as a cantilevered beam attached to a set of parts to form an element. Each cantilevered beam has a mass weighted first end and is fixedly attached to one or more flexible sheaths on a second end. A plurality of elements form a cell unit. A plurality of cell units form an array. The electrical current produced varies by the number of elements per cell unit, and/or with the number of cell units per array.

Abstract: A metamaterial has a magnetic permeability response at frequencies sufficient to generate a repulsive force between a fluid and a surface to which the metamaterial may be applied. The metamaterial may be nanofabricated such that an absolute value of the magnetic permeability of the metamaterial is substantially greater than an absolute value of an electric permittivity of the metamaterial. The metamaterial may generate a repulsive force between the surface and the fluid moving relative to the surface and thereby reduce viscous drag of the fluid on the surface. A method of reducing the viscous drag of the fluid moving past the surface includes producing relative motion between the surface and the fluid and generating the repulsive force between the surface and the fluid.

Abstract: Semiconductor materials optimized for their electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity promise much higher thermoelectric cooling power. The materials can achieve the same cooling or power generation capacity in thermopiles with less electron current compared with present bulk materials. Because less electron current is required to accomplish the same task, total thermopile semiconductor material cross-sectional area normal to thermal and electron flow is greatly reduced and the element length-to-cross-sectional area aspect ratio is increased. The net result is a significant improvement in the figure of merit, ZT, and in the device Coefficient of Performance (COP).

Abstract: A method for producing a planar surface on which conductive traces can be formed to fabricate a multi-layer integrated circuit. In this method, a substrate (20) serves as a base for the formation of conductive traces including copper conductors (30). These conductors are preferably bonded to an adhesion layer (22) and coated with a corrosion barrier (31). A first polyimide coating (34) is spin coated over the substrate and the copper conductors, leaving an undulating surface. Portions of the first polyimide coating lying above the copper conductors are removed, and the resulting surface is coated with a second polyimide coating (44). The polyimide comprising the first and second coatings is selected for its characteristic ability to partially dissolve a previously applied layer of the material, so that the two layers combine, thereby leveling out an non-planar irregularities existing in the first layer. The resulting planar surface forms a base for application of subsequently applied copper conductors (54), which are connected to the previously applied copper conductors at vias, photolithographically formed in the second polyimide coating. Additional layers of copper conductors can be applied to the planar surface as the process is repeated.
