Patent EP-0806692-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WILSON JAMES M
IPC: G02B17/08
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A double bounce passive facet tracking system uses a single passive optical component
of a toroidal mirror (40) to induce a beam of light to track a facet of a dual mirror rotating polygon
(36). A beam focused in both the tangential and sagittal planes is reflected from a convex facet of
the polygon mirror (36) to the toroidal mirror (40). The toroidal mirror (40) collimates the light beam
in a tangential plane and focuses the beam in the sagittal plane so that the beam is collimated in the
tangential plane and focussed in the sagittal plane when it reaches the flat facet of the polygon
mirror (40).

Patent EP-0834989-A3 (EP)
IPC: H03H9/17
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: A Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator (20) is provided which comprises
a piezoelectric layer (22); a first and second protective layer (38b,a),
a first electrode (24), a second electrode (26), a bridge (also
referred to as a "membrane" (28), a pair of etch windows (40a,b), an air gap (34), and a substrate
(36). A portion of the piezoelectric layer (22) is positioned atop the
first electrode (24), and the second electrode (26) is positioned atop
the piezoelectric layer (22); thereby forming a parallel plate structure
between which the piezoelectric layer (22) is allowed to resonate or
vibrate. The piezoelectric layer (22) comprises, by example, zinc-oxide
(ZnO), and has a thickness of 1.7 µm. The electrodes (24,26) comprise,
by example, gold (Au) and have thicknesses of 0.1 µm. 
     The membrane (28) comprises two layers (30,32) namely a top layer (30) and a bottom
layer (32). The top layer (30), which preferably has a thickness of 0.6 µm
and comprises poly-silicon, has a top surface which is
in contact with the first electrode (24) and portions of the
piezoelectric layer (22). The top layer (30) is situated atop a portion
of the bottom layer (32), which preferably has a thickness of 0.4 µm and
is comprised of silicon-dioxide (SiO 2 ). 
     A portion of a bottom
surface of the membrane (28) is situated adjacent to the air gap (34),
which separates this portion of the membrane's bottom surface from a
portion of the substrate (36). This air gap (34), which is typically
filled with air but any suitable material may be used, is formed by
etching a portion of the substrate (36). The air gap (34) is bounded by
the etch windows (40a,b), by a portion of the first protective layer
(38b), by the bottom surface portion of the membrane (28), and by inner
faces (36b,c,d) of the substrate (36). The air gap (34) functions to
isolate acoustic vibrations created by the piezoelectric layer (22) from
the substrate (36).

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal-based light valve [100] comprising a light input
[106], a light output [108], a polarizing beam splitter [119], a reflective spatial light
modulator [25] and a switchable half-wave plate [102]. Light polarized parallel to a
first direction is received through the light input. Light from the light input and
reflected by the spatial light modulator is output from the light output. The reflective
spatial light modulator is structured as a quarter-wave plate and has a principal axis
that switches through an angle . The polarizing beam splitter has orthogonal
directions of maximum transmissivity and maximum reflectivity, one of which is
parallel to the first direction. The polarizing beam splitter is located and aligned relative
to the light input, the light output, and the spatial light modulator to transmit or reflect
the light from the light input towards the spatial light modulator, and to reflect or
transmit, respectively, towards the light output the light reflected by the spatial light
modulator and having a direction of polarization substantially orthogonal to the first
direction. The switchable half-wave plate is located between the beam splitter and the
spatial light modulator, is structured as a half-wave plate and has a principal axis that
switches through an angle , substantially equal to /2. The switchable half-wave plate
inverts the sense of the light valve during the balance period of each display period to
enable the light valve to generate a positive image, and therefore be illuminated, during
the balance period in addition to during the illumination period.

Abstract: Good low-temperature combustion is ensured even at the time

combustion chamber or the like. Either a first combustion
mode or a second combustion mode is selected. During the
first combustion mode, the amount of recirculated exhaust gas
supplied to the combustion chamber (5) is larger than an
amount of EGR gas corresponding to a peak generation amount
of soot, and soot is hardly generated. During the second
combustion mode, the amount of EGR gas in the combustion
chamber (5) is smaller than the amount of EGR gas
corresponding to the peak generation amount of soot. While
combustion is performed according to the first combustion
mode, the EGR rate is increased in proportion to a rise in
temperature of intake gas supplied to the combustion chamber
(5) or engine coolant temperature which temperatures are
detected through detecting means (60, 61).
