摘要： An approach for obtaining a transducer mirror structure made from silicon. The structure may have a center portion and a perimeter portion that have an attachment between them which is made flexible after certain etching between the two portions. The attachment may be a web of links or legs. A force applied to the center portion at one end of the structure may cause the center portion to move relative to the perimeter portion. A piezo electric transducer or actuator may be attached to apply the force. An oxide layer, a thin layer of silicon and a mirror may be formed on the other end of the structure. The web of links or legs between the center and the perimeter portions may be established with an RIE etch of gaps through the structure to the oxide layer and an undercutting of the gaps with a KOH etch.

摘要： A cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) mirror is constructed to resist migration of a maximum reflectance peak during use where the CRDS mirror may become accreted with contamination that would otherwise cause the maximum reflectance peak to migrate. The mirror includes a mirror stack disposed on a mirror substrate and a plurality of alternating laminates including a first film with a first index of refraction and a second film with a second index of refraction. Each film is a one-quarter wavelength thickness of a given light energy that is to illuminate the mirror. A subsequent laminate is disposed on the plurality of alternating laminates. The subsequent laminate includes a quarter wavelength thickness first film and a second film with a wavelength thickness in a range from greater than 1.5 quarter wavelength and less than 2 quarter wavelength.

摘要： A two chamber system with fill gas in one chamber and vacuum in the other provides a means of burning in one or more vacuum tubes while avoiding contamination from environmental gases. Vacuum tubes are often burned in after being sealed. Some processes burn-in the tubes before sealing them. The burn in process can take days and provide ample opportunity for environmental gases to contaminate the vacuum tube. The vacuum tube's fill tube passes through the vacuum chamber and into the fill gas chamber. Environmental gases leaking past the fill tube are evacuated by the vacuum. Similarly, fill gas leaking past the fill tube is also evacuated to vacuum. As such, the environmental gases are drawn away before contaminating the vacuum tube.

摘要： A smoke detector having a closed internal optical path can detect airborne particulate matter, such as smoke from a fire, via a light scattering sensor and/or a light absorption sensor. The path can be implemented with a plurality of reflectors, such as piezoelectric minors. Input light can be coupled to the path, on a pulsed basis, for example via one of the minors, in a resonant condition.

摘要： A fire detection system for detecting fires may include an infrared detector array. The fire detection system may use the infrared detector array to monitor the temperature of a target environment over time. In some cases, a positioning apparatus may be used to move the field of view of the infrared detector array, allowing the infrared detector array to scan a relatively large target environment while still achieving a given resolution.

摘要： A structure having a substrate, patterned metal layer and a catalyst island formed on the metal layer. The surface of the substrate upon which the metal layer is formed may be oxidized. As an illustrative example, the metal may be HfN and the catalyst island may be iron, nickel, or the like. The resulting structure may be placed in an environment having a carbon-containing gas, a temperature between 500 and 1200 degrees C., and an electric field. A nanotube may grow from the catalyst island. A method including the combining of hafnium and nitrogen may be used to make the nanotube growing structure.

摘要： A projection system for presenting infrared scenes having biological and chemical agents, simulants and objects such as battlefield items. The generated scenes are primarily for the evaluation of infrared sensors, cameras and stand-off detectors. The system may have two or more projectors that combine various scenes into one scene having components with modified or imposed spectra signatures. Also, the system may generate a dynamic series of scenes that show synthetic scenarios of moving objects, agent clouds, non-toxic simulants and other items.
