摘要:
An efficiency-enhanced, three-terminal, bi-junction thermoelectric device driven by independently-adjustable parameters of temperature and voltage.
摘要:
A planar lightwave circuit has a waveguide having a bend and plurality of multiple trenches with parallel front and back interfaces. The trench and waveguide refractive indexes are different such that a refractive interface is defined between the waveguide and the trench. The trench may include a material of higher refractive index than the waveguide, such as silicon, or alternatively a material having a lower refractive index than the waveguide, such as an air void. The trench is disposed on the waveguide bend such that the front and back planar interfaces have an angle of incidence to a direction of the lightwave propagation from the waveguide. The invention also includes beamsplitters that include trenches that reflect a portion of a lightwave in a first direction and a portion of a lightwave in a second direction.

The present disclosure provides an SOI analog front circuit for a medical device, characterized in that it comprises an automatic gain control loop and a 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter, wherein: the automatic gain control loop is configured to implement automatic control of loop gain and output an analog signal to the 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter; and the 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the analog signal output from the automatic gain control loop into a digital code and output the digital code to a DSP for processing. The analog front circuit for the medical hearing aid device may be implemented by integration of three comparators, an analog-digital hybrid automatic gain control loop and a 2-order-3-bit-quantization Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter on a single chip using SOI process with high reliability and low power consumption. The analog front circuit has high accuracy, high reliability, and low power consumption. The analog front circuit may be applied in the medical hearing aid device.
摘要:
A waveguide assembly is provided that includes a waveguide region and at least one photonic crystal (PhC) region. The waveguide region includes a longitudinally extending core that has an input channel and at least one output channel, and a cladding at least partially surrounding the core for confining signals within the core. The PhC region(s), in turn, extend laterally through at least a portion of the core to at least partially direct signals propagating through the core. The PhC region(s) can extend through at least a portion of the core to thereby form, for example, a bend, beamsplitter, polarizing beamsplitter, Mach-Zender interferometer or ring resonator for signals propagating through the core.
