Abstract: In a composite sensor, an arrangement region of thermal image sensors and an arrangement region of range image sensors are arranged so as to overlap each other as seen in the mounting direction. This makes it possible to acquire thermal and range images coaxially, thereby suppressing image misalignment between the thermal and range images. In the composite sensor, a seal body formed by mounting the first and second substrates on top of each other seals a space about the thermal image sensors in a vacuum state. This can prevent the heat occurring about the range image sensors from affecting the thermal image sensor side. In addition, the substrate arranged with the thermal image sensors and the substrate arranged with the range image sensors are separate from each other, which can secure a degree of freedom in designing.

Abstract: An “integrated” Fabry-Perot interferometer, such as for use in a spectrophotometer, is fabricated by attaching two micro-machined semiconductor-on-insulator wafers to one another. One mirror is formed on each micro-machined wafer. One mirror is supported by a thermally insulated, suspended micro-platform. In some embodiments, interferometer cavity length is adjustable. Detectors are disposed at least partially within the micro-platform. In some embodiments, the interferometer, a light source, and other circuitry and components, such as wireless communications components, are contained in a sealed package that includes a sampling region, thereby providing an integrated spectrophotometer. The integrated spectrophotometer can be implanted, for example, in animal tissue environments, such as for analyzing various compounds in the blood.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a first antenna array with plurality of antenna elements multiple antenna elements and first plurality of thermoelectric devices distributed across the plurality of antenna elements. An activation or a deactivation of each thermoelectric device is executed in a real-time or near real-time based on an operational state of each antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements and a performance state of the plurality of antenna elements, where the activation or the deactivation is performed in a defined delayed time after a defined time has elapsed from a start of operation of the first antenna array to mitigate performance degradation of the plurality of antenna elements when in operation. Adaptive cooling is applied by each thermoelectric device on different subsets of antenna elements such that performance breakdowns due to heating of a plurality of chips associated with the different subsets of antenna elements is reduced.
