    摘要: Disclosed are methods for fabricating a micro-electro-mechanical switch. The switch has a cantilever arm disposed on a substrate that can be moved in orthogonal directions for latching and unlatching. For latching, the cantilever arm is moved back by a comb-drive actuator and then pulled down by electrodes disposed on the substrate and the cantilever arm. The comb-drive actuator switch is then released and the cantilever arm moves forward to be captured by a dove-tail structure on the substrate. When the voltage is removed, the cantilever arm is held in place by the dove-tail structure. The switch is unlatched by actuating the comb-drive actuator to move the cantilever arm away from the dove-tail structure. The cantilever arm will then pop up once it is released from the dove-tail structure.

    摘要: Apparatus for a micro-electro-mechanical switch that provides for latching switching action. The switch has a cantilever arm disposed on a substrate that can be moved in orthogonal directions for latching and unlatching. To latch the switch, the cantilever arm is moved back by a comb-drive actuator and then pulled down by electrodes disposed on the substrate and the cantilever arm. The comb-drive actuator switch is then released and the cantilever arm moves forward to be captured by a dove-tail structure on the substrate. When the voltage to the electrodes on the substrate and the cantilever arm is removed, the cantilever arm is held in place by the dove-tail structure. The switch is unlatched by actuating the comb-drive actuator to move the cantilever arm away from the dove-tail structure. The cantilever arm will then pop up once it is released from the dove-tail structure.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a fiber optic link includes a combined optical link for transmitting high optical power and wide bandwidth signal through a single optical fiber. In one embodiment, a means is provided for combining a high power optical signal and a low power data signal with wavelength selective directional couplers so as to inhibit the low power data transmitter and the low power data receiver from being overloaded with too much power. In one implementation, a method of using double clad fiber is provided, which includes transmitting an optical data signal at an optical data wavelength along an inner core, the inner core being single mode at the optical data wavelength and simultaneously transmitting an optical power signal at a optical power wavelength through a cladding, the cladding serving as a multimode core for a power optical link at the optical power wavelength.

    摘要: An antenna for a vehicle where the antenna is positioned close to an edge of a roof-top of the vehicle. A frequency selective surface is provided on a glass of the vehicle, generally the vehicle windshield, to extend the antenna ground plane beyond the roof-top to maintain a maximum antenna pattern directivity parallel to the ground. The frequency selective surface may be formed on a substrate that is adhered to the vehicle glass and includes a pattern of conductive portions and dielectric portions that provide proper current generation for the particular antenna frequency band of interest.
