    Abstract: A frame for optics used in interferometers that may include different materials having substantially similar, identical, or as close as practicable coefficients of thermal expansion from the material(s) used to make the beamsplitter and/or compensator without warping, bending, tilting or distorting the optics. The beamsplitter and/or compensator are mounted onto the frame of the interferometer using a three-point method of mounting, preferably using three pins for each component. Preferably, the pins are made of the same material as the beamsplitter and compensator, and all three components are made of Potassium Bromide (“KBr”) or Calcium Fluoride (“CaF2”) such that the optic instrument can operate to scan into the mid or far infrared. Stability in optical alignment is therefore achieved without requiring the optic instrument include only one material. The invention provides stability in situations where it is not possible to utilize a single material for every component of the interferometer.

    Abstract: A flexure mount for economically producing pure translational motion with no arcuate or error motion in the vertical direction utilizing alignment pins and parts reducing structures including monolithic springs. A low profile embodiment utilizes a compound monolithic spring. The flexure mount may be used to translate a mirror or retroreflector in a purely linear direction of precisely controlled and known distance, useful in myriad interferometer applications including spectroscopy.

    Abstract: A monolithic frame for optics used in interferometers where the material of the monolithic frame may have a substantially different coefficient of thermal expansion from the beamsplitter and compensator without warping, bending or distorting the optics. This is accomplished through providing a securing apparatus holding the optics in place while isolating the expansion thereof from the expansion of the frame. Stability in optical alignment is therefore achieved without requiring a single material or materials of essentially identical coefficients of thermal expansion. The present invention provides stability in situations where it is not possible to utilize a single material for every component of the interferometer.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for power delivery to vehicles on a roadway. A vehicle can be detected traveling on a roadway having a plurality of power distribution units for providing electrical power. The vehicle is authenticated to receive electrical power from one or more power distribution units based on identifying information associated with the vehicle. Based on successful authentication of the vehicle, a selected one or more power distribution units can be energized, the selected one or more power distribution units selected from the plurality of power distribution units as being nearest to the authenticated vehicle. Electrical power can be provided from at least one of the energized power distribution units to the authenticated vehicle while the authenticated vehicle travels along the roadway. The selected one or more power distribution units can be de-energized based on detecting that a load associated with the authenticated vehicle is no longer present.
