摘要： A method for forming a gap (16) of a width (d) which meets selected tolerance limits includes forming sidewalls (80, 82) in a microstructure, the sidewalls defining a gap (16) therebetween. The gap has a width defined between the sidewalls. The width of the gap between the sidewalls is determined. Where the determined width of the gap is below the selected tolerance limits for the width of the gap, the sidewalls are consumed to form a gap which meets the selected tolerance limits. The gap may be incorporated in a waveguide device (10) of a microswitch (100) and selectively connect input and output waveguides (130, 132).

摘要： An electrostatic actuator includes a segmented flexible membrane associated with individually addressable electrodes, one for each membrane segment. The electrodes are provided beneath a corresponding one of the membrane segments to define a plurality of actuator chambers between each of the electrodes and the corresponding membrane segment. Control electronics independently provide a bias voltage to select ones or all of the electrodes to generate an electrostatic field between any bias electrode and the corresponding membrane segment to attract the corresponding membrane segment toward the respective electrode. Upon elimination of the bias voltage, the corresponding membrane segments are elastically restored to their previous position. This structure can be incorporated into a fluid drop ejector to achieve variable drop size by control of the number of segments actuated. Additionally, by control of the time and space domain of the segment firing, the pressure pulse created by the fluid drop ejector can be precisely controlled.

摘要： An optical micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) switch is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment the optical MEMS switch is used as an M×N optical signal switching system. The optical MEMS switch comprises a plurality of optical waveguides formed on a cantilever beam platform for switching optical states wherein the state of the optical switch is changed by a system of drive and latch actuators. The optical MEMS device utilizes a latching mechanism in association with a thermal drive actuator for aligning the cantilever beam platform. In use the optical MEMS device may be integrated with other optical components to form planar light circuits (PLCs). When switches and PLCs are integrated together on a silicon chip, compact higher functionality devices, such as Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs), may be fabricated.

摘要： An ink jet nozzle is made from a microfabrication technique including either laser ablation or precision injection molding. The laser ablation method includes ablating an upper surface of a nozzle plate to create a bore, optionally placing a photomask adjacent to the lower surface and over the bore, and laser ablating the lower surface of the nozzle plate to create a lip which extends away from the lower surface of the nozzle plate. The lip can prevent unwanted and/or asymmetrical deflection of ink droplets. Also, the nozzle can be made from plastics, polymers or ceramics, which are resistant to acidic or basic inks, which may cause deterioration of single silicon wafers or semiconductor materials. The precision injection molding microfabrication process includes providing upper and lower molds with a space therebetween, injecting the space with the molding material, and removing the upper and lower molds to release the thus formed ink jet nozzle. Using either method, ink jet nozzles can be made using new materials beyond the silicon or semiconductor materials, and a broader range of inks may be used as well. The structure of the ink jet nozzle includes a nozzle plate having upper and lower surfaces, a lip formed in one piece with the nozzle plate and extending away from the lower surface thereof, and a bore extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the nozzle plate and completely through the lip. The bore has an interior surface inclined at an angle respective to the upper and lower surfaces, the angle being substantially constant throughout a thickness of the nozzle plate and the lid. A lower surface of the lid forms an acute angle with the interior surface of the bore to thereby enhance the anti-wetting quality of the nozzle.
摘要翻译：喷墨喷嘴由包括激光烧蚀或精密注射成型的微细加工技术制成。激光烧蚀方法包括烧蚀喷嘴板的上表面以产生孔，可选地将光掩模邻近下表面放置在孔上方，并且激光烧蚀喷嘴板的下表面以产生远离喷嘴板的下表面。唇缘可以防止墨滴的不必要和/或不对称的偏转。此外，喷嘴可以由耐酸性或碱性油墨的塑料，聚合物或陶瓷制成，这可能导致单硅晶片或半导体材料的劣化。精密注塑微细加工工艺包括提供上下模具之间的空间，将空间注射成型材料，以及去除上下模具以释放由此形成的喷墨嘴。使用任一种方法，可以使用超出硅或半导体材料的新材料制造喷墨嘴，并且也可以使用更宽范围的油墨。喷墨喷嘴的结构包括具有上表面和下表面的喷嘴板，与喷嘴板成一体且从其下表面延伸的唇部，以及从上表面延伸到下表面的孔喷嘴板和完全通过嘴唇。孔具有以与上表面和下表面相对应的角度倾斜的内表面，该角度在喷嘴板和盖的整个厚度上基本上恒定。盖的下表面与孔的内表面形成锐角，从而增强喷嘴的抗湿润质量。

摘要： An improved spectrophotometer for non-contact measuring of the colors of colored target areas, especially, test patches on moving printed test sheets in an unrestrained normal output path of a color printer, which test patches may be sequentially angularly illuminated with multiple different colors, with a photosensor providing electrical signals in response, the spectrophotometer having a lens system for transmitting that reflected illumination from the test patch to the photosensor with a lens magnification ratio of approximately one to one. The exemplary spectrophotometer provides noncontact color measurements of moving color target areas variably displaced therefrom within normal paper path baffle spacings, with a displacement insensitivity of at least 6 millimeters about a nominal target to spectrophotometer separation.
