摘要： Fine conductor lines (those having a width of ≦50 μM) are disposed on a flexible metal oxide containing substrate by masking portions of the substrate, and then surface metallizing unmasked portions of the substrate. Polymeric preceramic films are preferred, especially those having a glass temperature of at least 300° C. and those of the PZT family, or those containing BeO. All suitable reducing gasses are contemplated, including especially H2. All suitable masking materials are similarly contemplated, including especially titanium, titanium nitride, tungsten nitride, tantalum, and tantalum nitride. In especially preferred embodiments the conductor lines have a width of ≦25 μM, ≦15 μM, ≦5 μM, and even ≦1 μM. The lines can advantageously compose a circuit that is coupled to a piezoelectric or other mechanical actuator, which in turn can be fluidly coupled to a fluid reservoir.

摘要： Contemplated printheads include a piezoelectric material in which a channel is formed across the piezoelectric material to thereby create at least part of the nozzle through which ink is expelled from the inside of the printhead to the outside. Contemplated nozzles may be configured as cylindrical elements or ring-shape elements. Consequently, application of a voltage across the piezoelectric channel may result in constriction of the cylindrical element or convex/concave deformation of the ring-shape element. Most preferably, the piezoelectric material, conductive traces, and supporting structures are applied from a liquid phase to a carrier, and shaped using photolithographic methods.

摘要： Methods of producing a solid state air core spiral inductor are presented. A spiral coil can be deposited on a substrate. One or more solder dams can be positioned on the coil where the dams comprise a well into which solder bumps can be attached to the coil. Material covering the coil or between the gaps the inductor's coil can be removed yielding an air core. Contemplated inductors can include one or more tap points.

摘要： A circuit for parasitically powering a device comprises diodes, a capacitor, and an inductor all disposed across a signal line, the inductor disposed in series between the diodes and the capacitor. The first diode is preferably a rectification diode, the second diode is preferably a flyback diode, and a DC/DC power supply circuit is preferably disposed across the capacitor. Multiple signal lines are contemplated. The parasitic voltage circuit can include a resistor and a MOSFET in series with the first diode and the inductor, more preferably an impedance control circuit that generates a pulse width modulated signal to actuate the MOSFET, and still more preferably, the impedance control circuit can turn the MOSFET on and off at a rate and duty cycle commensurate with maintaining a relatively constant current from the signal line through rectification diode Ds.
