Abstract: A thermo-mechanical bolometer includes a substrate and a sensing component mounted on the substrate. The sensing element comprises (a) at least one thermal-actuation component mounted in parallel with the substrate and (b) a strain sensor mounted on the at least one layer of thermal-actuation component. The at least one thermal-actuation component alone or in combination (a) absorbs electromagnetic waves and converts energy from absorbed electromagnetic waves into a change in temperature and (b) converts the change in temperature into a deformation of the at least one layer. The strain sensor comprises a layer of fragments with a gap space between the fragments, wherein the strain sensor senses the deformation or mechanical movement and exhibits a change in electrical resistance in response to the sensed deformation or mechanical movement.

Abstract: A GaN device is formed on a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of recessed regions formed in a surface thereof. A seed layer, optional buffer layer, and gallium nitride layer such as a carbon-doped gallium nitride layer are successively deposited within the recessed regions. Improved current collapse response of the GaN device is attributed to maximum length and width dimensions of the multilayer stack.

Abstract: Described herein is a semiconductor structure, comprising: a drain region; a drift region comprised of a wide band gap material disposed over the drain region; and a channel structure disposed over the drift region. In some embodiments, the channel structure comprises: an optically active material disposed over the drift region, wherein the optically active material generates charge carriers in response to an optical signal; and a source region disposed over the optically active material, wherein in an off state charge carriers in the optically active material are depleted to turn off the semiconductor structure, and in an on state charge carriers in the optically active material conduct a current in the semiconductor structure when an electric field is applied across the source region and drain region, causing the current to substantially flow directly between the source region and the drain region.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for estimating 3D poses of a subject based on tactile interactions with the ground. Test subject interactions with the ground are recorded using a sensor system along with reference information (e.g., synchronized video information) for use in correlating tactile information with specific 3D poses, e.g., by training a neural network based on the reference information. Then, tactile information received in response to a given subject interacting with the ground can be used to estimate the 3D pose of the given subject directly, i.e., without reference to corresponding reference information. Certain exemplary embodiments use a sensor system in the form of a pressure sensing carpet or mat, although other types of sensor systems using pressure or other sensors can be used in various alternative embodiments.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having relatively linear and constant parasitic capacitance of an operation range includes a first component having a negatively charged carrier channel and a second component comprising a positively charged carrier channel. The first component has source terminal and a drain terminal. The second component has bias terminal. Both components share a gate terminal that is electrostatically coupled to the negatively charged carrier channel of the first component and the positively charged carrier channel of the second component to produce a capacitance profile that stays relatively linear and constant as a voltage at the gate terminal changes.
