Abstract: A fiber optic switch (400) includes a fiber optic switching module (100) tha t receives and fixes ends (104) of optical fibers (106). The module (100) includes numerous reflective light beam deflectors (172) which may be select ed as pairs for coupling a beam of light (108) between a pair of optical fibers (106). The module (100) also produces orientation signals from each deflecto r (172) which indicate its orientation. A portcard (406) included in the switc h (400) supplies drive signals to the module (100) for orienting at least one deflector (172). The portcard (406) also receives the orientation signals produced by that deflector (172) together with coordinates that specify an orientation for the deflector (172). The portcard (406) compares the receive d coordinates with the orientation signals received from the deflector (172) a nd adjusts the drive signals supplied to the module (100) to reduce any difference between the received coordinates and the orientation signals. The switch (400) also employs optical alignment to precisely orient pairs of deflectors (172) coupling a beam of light (108) between optical fibers (106) .

Abstract: A micro-mirror strip assembly having a plurality of two-dimensional micro- mirror structures with improved deflection and other characteristics is presented. In the micro-mirror structures, electrodes for electrostatic deflection are disposed on conical or quasi-conical entities that are machined, attached or molded into a substrate. The electrodes are quartered approximately parallel to or offset by 45 degrees from rotational axes to fo rm quadrants. Torsion sensors are provided along the axes of rotation to contro l deflection of the quadrant deflection electrodes.

In the micro-mirror structures, electrodes for electrostatic deflection are disposed on conical or quasi-conical entities that are machined, attached or molded into a substrate. Torsion sensors (244) are provided along the axes of rotation to control deflection of the quadrant deflection electrodes. The shielded sensor structure (240) includes a silicon layer (241), an insulating layer (242) and a metal layer (243). The structure further includes a sensor implant resistor (244) in the silicon layer (241) and a shield (245) that is applied over the sensor implant resistor (244) to stabilise sensor output and eliminate light sensitivity.

Abstract: A document transport for a scanner (100) has a flexible, elongated finger (226) disposed adjacent to a document (134), and a force applied to the finger (226) urges teeth (233) on the finger (226) into contact with the document (134) which urges the document (134) along a path through the scanner (100). A piezoelectric plate (222), which applies the force to the finger (226), requires only a small amount of electrical power. To traverse the scanner (100), a document (134) may also be manually fed along a guide (272). First and second speed-sensing detectors (276a and 276b), disposed along the path traversed by the document (134), permit the scanner (100) to determine a speed at which the manually fed document (134) traverses the scanner (100). To conserve electrical energy, the scanner (100) also includes a document-presence detector (274) for activating the scanner (100) when a document (134) to be scanned is present.
