    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the efficiency higher and the electric power consumption lower by using an active layer consisting of electronic chromatic protein. SOLUTION: A thin film 15 consisting of the electronic chromatic protein is arranged between the cell rear surface wall 11 and cell front surface wall 13 of a single optical switching cell 10 consisting of the rear surface wall 11 having an electrode region 12, and the transparent front surface wall 13 having a transparent electrode region 14 superposed on a part of the electrode 12. This cell 10 is arbitrarily hermetically closed by the side walls 16, 17. A switchable voltage source 18 is connected between the electrodes 12 and 14. The rear surface part of the wall 11 is provided with a coating 19 which is either black or reflective. The thin film 15 consisting of the electronic chromatic protein is arranged between the two electrodes 12 and 14 in such a manner and, therefore, the thin film 15 reflects the light of a first color when there is no voltage between the two electrodes 12 and 14. The color of the reflected light changes when the voltage is impressed. Since the reflected light is used rather than the propagated light, the need for back lighting is eliminated.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a first mechanical structure having a first rigid surface, an area of the first rigid surface having a nanostructured surface. The apparatus also includes a second mechanical structure having a second rigid surface and opposing the first mechanical structure. The second rigid surface is cooperable with the nanostructured surface such that a microscopic particle is locatable between the nanostructured surface and the second rigid surface.

    Abstract: A precise fiber array is formed using a chuck to tightly hold as an array wi th hexagonal packing a group of precision ferrules into ones of which is insert ed and, bonded a fiber end. The bonding is typically performed by gluing the fiber into the ferrule. The ferrules may also be bonded to each other. Once the ferrules ar e bonded together, the chuck may be removed. The terminating end of the fibers may be polished. Alternatively, cleaved terminating fiber ends may be employed, wit h the various terminating ends being coordinated, e.g., by as optical flat. The ferrules may have a tip and a conical entrance. The chuck may hold the ferrules in a straight orientation. The fiber terminating faces of all of the ferrules may be substantially coplanar. The ferrules may be arranged in a hexagonal configuration.
