Abstract: A scanning device (20) includes a planar scanning mirror (28) disposed within a frame (26) and having a reflective upper surface (30). A pair of flexures (34) have respective first ends connected to the frame and respective second ends connected to the mirror at opposing ends of a rotational axis (36) of the mirror. A rotor (38) including a permanent magnet is disposed on the lower surface of the mirror. A stator (24) includes first and second cores (40, 42) disposed in proximity to the rotor on opposing first and second sides of the rotational axis and first and second coils (44, 46) of wire wound respectively on the cores. A drive circuit (50) drives the first and second coils with respective electrical currents including a first component selected so as to control a transverse displacement of the mirror and a second component selected so as to control a rotation of the mirror about the rotational axis.

Abstract: Mechanical apparatus (20, 60) includes a base (22) and a moving element (24), which is mounted to rotate about an axis relative to the base. A capacitive rotation sensor includes at least one first electrode (34, 38, 66) disposed on the moving element in a location adjacent to the base and at least one second electrode (32, 38, 62, 64) disposed on the base in proximity to the at least one first electrode. A sensing circuit (50) is coupled to sense a variable capacitance between the first and second electrodes.

Abstract: Control apparatus includes an optical subsystem, which is configured to direct first light toward a scene that includes a hand of a user 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 onto the wall. A processor 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 in the room responsively to the proximity.

Abstract: A scanning device includes a base containing one or more rotational bearings disposed along a gimbal axis. A gimbal includes a shaft that fits into the rotational bearings so that the gimbal rotates about the gimbal axis relative to the base. A mirror assembly includes a semiconductor substrate, which has been etched and coated to define a support, which is fixed to the gimbal, at least one mirror, contained within the support, and a connecting member connecting the at least one mirror to the support and defining at least one mirror axis, about which the at least one mirror rotates relative to the support.
