摘要： A thermal actuator comprises a substantially straight beam. The beam has a beam length and a beam mid-point. The beam comprises a plurality of beam segments with beam segment lengths. Each beam segment has a beam segment neutral axis, thus forming a corresponding plurality of beam segment neutral axes. The beam segment neutral axes are offset along the beam length based on a predetermined pattern. As the beam is heated by an included heating means, the beam buckles. The buckling of the beam, in turn, causes the beam mid-point to translate or move in the predetermined direction. The beam mid-point movement, in turn, operates an included optical waveguide switch. The heating means comprises any of Joule heating, eddy current heating, conduction heating, convection heating and radiation heating.

摘要： A thermal actuator comprises a plurality of substantially straight and parallel beams arranged to form a beam array. The midpoint of each beam is attached or coupled to an orthogonal coupling beam. Each array beam has a beam heating parameter with a corresponding beam heating parameter value. The beam heating parameter values vary across the beam array based on a predetermined pattern. As the beams are heated by an included heating means, the distribution of beam temperatures in the beam array becomes asymmetric, thus causing the beam array to buckle. The buckling of the beams in the beam array, in turn, causes the attached coupling beam to move in a predetermined direction. The coupling beam motion, in turn, operates an included optical waveguide switch. The beams in the beam array are heated by any of Joule heating, eddy current heating, conduction heating, convection heating and radiation heating.

摘要： A method of marking employs a marking apparatus in which a propellant stream is passed through a channel and directed toward a substrate. Marking material, such as ink, toner, etc., is controllably introduced into the propellant stream and imparted with sufficient kinetic energy thereby to be made incident upon a substrate. At sufficient velocity, and with appropriate marking material, the marking material may be kinetically fused to the substrate. A multiplicity of channels for directing the propellant and marking material allow for high throughput, high resolution marking. Multiple marking materials may be introduced into the channel and mixed therein prior to being made incident on the substrate, or mixed or superimposed on the substrate without registration. One example is single-pass, full-color printing.

摘要： A device structure is defined in a single-crystal silicon (SCS) layer separated by an insulator layer, such as an oxide layer, from a handle wafer. The SCS can be attached to the insulator by wafer bonding, and is selectively etched, as by photolithographic patterning and dry etching. A sacrificial oxide layer can be deposited on the etched SCS, on which polysilicon can be deposited. A protective oxide layer is deposited, and CMOS circuitry and sensors are integrated. Silicon microstructures with sensors connected to CMOS circuitry are released. In addition, holes can be etched through the sacrificial oxide layer, sacrificial oxide can be deposited on the etched SCS, polysilicon can be deposited on the sacrificial oxide, PSG can be deposited on the polysilicon layer, which both can then be patterned.

摘要： A micro spectrophotometer is monolithically constructed on a silicon substrate. The spectrophotometer includes a concave grating, which is used for dispersing optical waves as well as focusing reflected light onto a photodiode array sited on a silicon bridge. The silicon bridge is bent 90° from the surface of the silicon substrate in order to orthogonally intersect the output light from the grating. A precision notch is defined in the silicon substrate for coupling to an optical input fiber. Signal processing circuitry is etched on the substrate using conventional CMOS processes for initial processing of information received from the photodiode array.

摘要： An ink detecting mechanism for a liquid ink printer including a liquid ink printhead having a plurality of ink carrying conduits terminated by an ink ejecting orifice. The ink detecting mechanism detects the presence of ink within the ink carrying conduits and includes a normally open circuit maintained in an open condition when said ink carrying conduit lacks the presence of ink. The fluid detecting device includes a detecting probe spaced from a transducer element located in the ink carrying conduit such that the presence of ink is detected for between the location of the detecting probe and the location of the transducer element. A signal is generated by a detection circuit for each of the channels of the printhead. Each signal is then summed and a decision signal is generated indicating whether or not the entire array of printhead nozzles should be primed. The detection of ink within the channels is performed without the need for ejecting ink from the channels.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments provide a roll member that includes one or more linear arrays of actuator cells and methods for making and using the roll member. In one embodiment, each linear array of the roll member can be controllably actuated as a group by, e.g., an oscillating voltage, to release toner particles adhered thereto and to form a uniform toner cloud in the development area between the roll member and an image receiving member. The controllable actuation can also aid in the unloading process of the residual toner particles from the roll member. In various embodiments, the uniform toner cloud and/or the controllable unloading process can enable a non-interactive development system for image-on-image full-color printing.
