    摘要: A microbot includes a spherical housing, first and second servomotors that are located internal to the housing and oriented horizontally and orthogonal to each other, and a plunger within the housing that selectively extends in the vertical direction. Castors are attached to each servomotor; and traction balls corresponding to each castor are placed so that each ball frictionally engages both a respective castor and the interior of the housing at the same time. As the servomotors rotate, the attached castors also rotate, which causes rotation of the traction balls and rolling of the housing, and results in translation of the microbot in the horizontal plane. As the plunger rapidly extends, it strikes the interior surface of the housing with sufficient force to cause a hopping motion of the microbot in the vertical direction.

    摘要: A scanning probe microscopy head may include a base portion, cantilevers coupled to the base portion, and at least one tip coupled to each of the cantilevers. At least two of the cantilevers and associated tips may be configured to perform a different scanning probe microscopy technique. The cantilevers may be positioned perpendicular to the base portion and may be coupled to the perimeter of the base portion. The base portion may include circuitry coupled thereto for providing electricity to the tips. The cantilevers may each be placed into a recessed slot along the perimeter of the base and secured to the base by a securing mechanism, such as a spring clip. The cantilevers may be operatively coupled to a linear positioner, such as a piezoelectric motor, coupled to the perimeter of the base for controlling the amount of protrusion of the cantilevers from the perimeter of the base.

    摘要: A laser ablation process is applied to a semiconductor substrate causing the semiconductor material surface and subsurface to be superheated to the point where material is ablated from the material substrate. Optional subsequent laser pulse(s) liquefy the particles, preferably while suspended in air, and the material surface tension causes the liquefied droplet of semiconductor material to form a sphere. The droplet preferably solidifies in air before reaching the substrate of its origin or another substrate for collection.

    摘要: An optical modulating device capable of use as a light valve, display, or optical filter, which uses variation in incident angle to exploit color-selective absorption at a metal-dielectric interface by surface plasmons. The device includes a dielectric layer, at least one metallic layer through which electromagnetic radiation may be transmitted or reflected, and incident and exit layers which are both optically transmissive. A beam steering mechanism controls the incident angle of the electromagnetic radiation. In one embodiment, an external beam steering mechanism is used to set the incident light angle onto the filter. In another embodiment, the filter is formed as an integral part of, for example, a cantilever. The incident light angle is then controlled by the angle of the filter cantilever.
