    摘要: A bistable micro-electromechanical switch (10) having two parallel plate capacitors (17, 19) spaced a distance from each other on a substrate (12). A transmission line (30), having a detached segment (22), that is movable or the substrate (12), is located on the substrate (12) between the parallel plate capacitors (17, 19). A dielectric beam (24) is attached to the movable transmission line segment (22) and the ends of the dielectric beam (24) protrude into each of the parallel plate capacitors (17, 19). When a voltage (26, 28) is applied to one of the capacitors (17 or 19), the dielectric beam (24) is pulled into the capacitor (17 or 19) and brings the movable transmission line segment (22) with it. As the transmission line segment (22) is moved either into, or out of, alignment with the transmission line (30), a path through the transmission line is either closed, or opened.

    摘要: A nano-electron fluidic logic (NFL) device for controlling launching and propagation of at least one surface plasma wave (SPW) is disclosed. The NFL device comprises a metallic gate patterned with a plurality of terminals at which SPWs may be launched and a plurality of drain terminals at which the SPWs may be detected. A wave guiding structure such as a 2 DEG EF facilitates propagation of the SPW within the structure so as to scatter/steer the SPW in a direction different from a pre-scattering direction. A bias SPW is excited by an application of a control SPW with a momentum vector at an angle to the bias SPW and a control current with a wavevector which scatters the bias SPW in the direction of at least one output SPW, towards a drain terminal. The NFL device being rendered with device speed as a function of SPW propagation velocity.

    摘要: A resonator tuning system includes an apparatus coupled to a resonator for changing the resonator's resonance frequency. Tuning of the resonator is accomplished by varying the coupling to a capacitor or varactor, rather than by varying the capacitor. An interferometer, such as a Mach-Zender interferometer is coupled to the resonator and changes the resonance of the resonator by applying an actuation voltage to vary the coupling to the resonator. In this way, a resonator may be tuned and maintain high unloaded Q properties while being coupled to a varactor or other load.

    摘要: A tunneling accelerometer includes a proof mass that moves laterally with respect to a cap wafer. Either the proof mass or the cap wafer includes a plurality of tunneling tips such that the remaining one of proof mass and the cap wafer includes a corresponding plurality of counter electrodes. The tunneling current flowing between the tunneling tips and the counter electrodes will thus vary as the proof mass laterally displaces in response to an applied acceleration.

    摘要: A sample and hold circuit that is coupled to a control voltage source and a signal source has a sampling bridge coupled in series between a first resonant tunneling diode. The bridge comprises a plurality of diodes. The sampling bridge couples an input voltage signal that is to be sampled to a holding capacitor when the sampling bridge is forward biased. The bridge substantially decouples the input voltage signal from the holding capacitor when the sampling bridge diodes are reversed biased. The resonant tunneling diodes when reversed biased allow the bridge to be isolated from the control voltage source to allow the holding capacitor to float at the sampled value of the input voltage.
