Abstract: Mapping apparatus (22) includes a transmitter 44, which emits a beam comprising pulses of light, and a scanner (46), which is configured to scan the beam (38), within a predefined scan range, over a scene. A receiver (48) receives the light reflected from the scene and generates an output indicative of a time of flight of the pulses to and from points in the scene. A processor (42) is coupled to control the scanner so as to cause the beam to scan over a selected window (32, 34, 36) within the scan range and to process the output of the receiver so as to generate a 3D map of a part of the scene that is within the selected window.

Abstract: Control apparatus (22) includes an optical subsystem (40), which is configured to direct first light toward a scene that includes a hand of a user (38) in proximity to a wall of a room and to receive the first light that is reflected from the scene, and to direct second light toward the wall so as to project an image of a control device (32, 34, 36) onto the wall. A processor (42) is configured to control the optical subsystem so as to generate, responsively to the received first light, a depth map of the scene, to process the depth map so as to detect a proximity of the hand to the wall in a location of the projected image, and to control electrical equipment (24, 26, 28, 30) in the room responsively to the proximity.

Abstract: Optical apparatus (64) includes a stator assembly (47), which includes a core (78, 90, 91) containing an air gap and one or more coils (80, 92, 94, 116, 120) including conductive wire wound on the core so as to cause the core to form a magnetic circuit through the air gap in response to an electrical current flowing in the conductive wire. A scanning mirror assembly (45, 83, 85, 130) includes a support structure (68), a base (72), which is mounted to rotate about a first axis relative to the support structure, and a mirror (46), which is mounted to rotate about a second axis relative to the base. At least one rotor (76, 132) includes one or more permanent magnets, which are fixed to the scanning mirror assembly and which are positioned in the air gap so as to move in response to the magnetic circuit. A driver (82) is coupled to generate the electrical current in the one or more coils.

Abstract: Scanning apparatus (40) includes a transmitter (44), which is configured to emit a beam comprising pulses of light, and a scanning mirror (46), which is configured to scan the beam over a scene. A receiver (48) is configured to receive the light reflected from the scene and to generate an output indicative of the pulses returned from the scene. A grating (82) is formed on an optical surface in the apparatus and is configured to diffract a portion of the beam at a predetermined angle, so as to cause the diffracted portion to be returned from the scanning mirror to the receiver. A controller (30) is coupled to process the output of the receiver so as to detect the diffracted portion and to monitor a scan of the mirror responsively thereto.

Abstract: Ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Vorrichtung (206) aus einem Wafer (170) aus Halbleitermaterial schließt das lokale Dünnen des Wafers in einem Bereich der Vorrichtung auf eine vordefinierte Dicke, indem das Halbleitermaterial unter Verwendung eines Nassätzprozesses von mindestens einer ersten Seite des Wafers entfernt wird, und das Durchätzen des gedünnten Wafers im Bereich der Vorrichtung ein, sodass ein beweglicher Teil (202) der Vorrichtung freigegeben wird. Zudem werden weitere Verfahren und Systeme zur Herstellung beschrieben.
