    Abstract: A device comprising a thin film solar cell with an integrated flexible antenna, such as a meander line antenna, is disclosed. In an embodiment, the device comprises a substrate and an array of solar cells disposed on the substrate, wherein the array of solar cells are interconnected by metal conductors that carry DC power from the solar cells and which form at least part of the flexible antenna. In their capacity as an antenna, the metal conductors operate cooperatively with the solar cells to radiate an RF signal, receive an RF signal, or both radiate and receive an RF signal. The device optionally comprises a choke disposed on the substrate and electrically coupled to the array of solar cells, wherein the choke operates to impede conduction of the RF signal. A method of making the disclosed device is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An autonomous flapping wing aerial vehicle can have a vehicle body, a pair of flapping wings, tunable wing hinges, and elastic drive mechanisms. The tunable wing hinges can be coupled to the flapping wings. Each wing hinge can be constructed to deliver a force to a respective one of the flapping wings to alter end points of a stroke thereof. The elastic drive mechanisms can rotate the flapping wings about pivot points to produce the strokes of the flapping wings. The elastic drive mechanism can be driven at or near a resonance thereof. Alterations to the strokes of the flapping wings produced by the combined effect of the tunable wing hinges and the elastic drive mechanisms, operating in parallel, can provide steering control of the aerial vehicle.

    Abstract: A resonance engine is disclosed including: a driver plate, to which is coupled at least one oscillatory transducer; a drive signal generator connected to the oscillatory transducer for excitation thereof; a first spring-mass resonator, having a first natural resonant frequency, with a proximal end attached to the driver plate and a free distal end; and a reaction means attached to the driver plate substantially opposite to the first spring-mass resonator. When the oscillatory transducer is excited by a drive signal from the generator having a component at or close to said natural resonant frequency, the first spring-mass resonator oscillates at resonance, substantially in anti-phase to the driver plate. Small vibrational strains in the oscillatory transducer are converted to large strains of controllable kinematic movements.
