Abstract: A system (120) for reflecting or redirecting incident light, microwave or sound energy includes a first substrate (144) configured to support an array of reflective elements (130) that can be angularly displaced through a range of substantially (90) degrees in response to a reflector angle control signal and a controller programmed to generate the reflector angle control signal to achieve desired incident energy, beam or wavefront redirection. The reflective elements (130) preferably comprise MEMS micro-reflector elements hingedly or movably attached to the first substrate (130) and define a reflective surface that is aimed at the source of incident light, microwave or sound energy.

Abstract: An autonomous, self -powered device includes a radioisotope-powered current impulse generator including a spring assembly comprising a cantilever, and a piezoelectric- surface acoustic wave (P-SAW) structure connected in parallel to the current impulse generator. Positive charges are accumulated on an electrically isolated 63Ni thin film due to the continuous emission of ß-particles (electrons), which are collected on the cantilever. The accumulated charge eventually pulls the cantilever into the radioisotope thin-film until electrical discharge occurs. The electrical discharge generates a transient magnetic and electrical field that can excite the RF modes of a cavity in which the electrical discharge occurs. A piezoelectric-SAW resonator is connected to the discharge assembly to control the RF frequency output. A method for generating a tuned RF signal includes inputting an energy pulse to a P-SAWresonator, exciting the resonant frequency thereof, and outputting an RF signal having a frequency tuned to the resonator frequency.

Abstract: A system that generates short charged particle packets or pulses (e.g., electron packets) without requiring a fast-switching-laser source is described. This system may include a charged particle source that produces a stream of continuous charged particles to propagate along a charged particle path. The system also includes a charged particle deflector positioned in the charged particle path to deflect the stream of continuous charged particles to a set of directions different from the charged particle path. The system additionally includes a series of beam blockers located downstream from the charged particle deflector and spaced from one another in a linear configuration as a beam-blocker grating. This beam-blocker grating can interact with the deflected stream of charged particles and divide the stream of the charged particles into a set of short particle packets. In one embodiment, the charged particles are electrons. The beam blockers can be conductors.

Abstract: An ultrasonic or acoustic viscosity sensor or viscometer is provided that can be used to accurately measure viscosity for fluid samples of less than 1 µl in volume. Methods for measuring viscosity for fluid samples of less than 1 µl in volume are also provided. The viscosity sensor and methods based thereon enable simultaneous measurement of bulk and dynamic (shear-rate dependent) viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid. Bulk and dynamic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid can be measured simultaneously without separating constituents of the fluid, and thus distinguishing the effect of constituents on the viscosity. Dynamic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid can be estimated at varying shear rates, to study the deformability of the constituents of the fluid as a function of shear rate.
