Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes a first die, a second die, a third die, and a fourth die (101-104), wherein a portion of the second die (50) and a portion of the third die (150) are movably connected between the first die and the fourth die (101, 104).
Abstract:
A contact lithography apparatus 100, 220, a system 200 and a method 300 use a hydraulic deformation to facilitate pattern transfer. The apparatus, the system and the method include a spacer 120, 226 that provides a spaced apart proximal orientation of lithographic elements 110, 228a, 130, 228b, and a hydraulic force member 140, 240 that provides the hydraulic deformation. One or more of the lithographic elements and the spacer is deformable, such that hydraulic deformation thereof facilitates the pattern transfer.
Abstract:
An optical lighting apparatus having a constant luminance with a drive current controlled by a controller unit. A temperature controlled photodetector indirectly monitors the luminance and informs the controller when a change in luminance has occurred so that the controller can make appropriate adjustments to the drive current. Also disclosed is a method of regulating the drive current to a light source to enable the luminance to remain fixed and independent of fluctuations in ambient temperature. A temperature compensated photodetector senses the amount of light reflected off a diffuser lens and feeds back the output to a controller circuit which regulates the drive current to the light source. The lighting apparatus has application in calibrating imaging systems, such as digital cameras, and for scanning devices.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and device for identifying recording media in a printer. The invention utilizes fine structure of the media revealed by illumination from one or more directions to distinguish among different kinds of plain papers, coated papers, such as glossy papers, and transparency films. Multiple light sources (14, 16, 14a, 14b) at different incidence and/or orientation angles apply light on the test surface, and scattered light is converted into signals and then analyzed. Various metric and analysis techniques can be applied to the signals to determine the media type.
