摘要： A thermal management apparatus includes an electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator in which an emitter electrode and another electrode are energizable to motivate fluid flow. One of the electrodes includes a solid solution formed of a solvent metal having a first performance characteristic and a solute material having a second performance characteristic. The first and second performance characteristics are exhibited substantially independently in the electrode as the solvent metal and solute material remain substantially pure within the solid solution. A method of making an EHD product includes providing an electrode with such a solid solution and positioning the electrode relative to another electrode to motivate fluid flow when energized.

摘要： An electronic camera module includes a lens or refractive element formed by a pair of immiscible liquids and having optical properties which can be varied by applying a voltage so as to deform the meniscus. One of the two liquids extends from the meniscus all the way to the front surface of the sensor, so that light passing through the meniscus does not encounter further changes in refractive index enroute to the sensor.

摘要： A compliant structure is provided on a semiconductor wafer. The compliant structure includes cavities. The compliant structure and the wafer seal the cavities during process steps used to form conductive elements on the compliant structure. After processing, vents are opened to connect the cavities to the exterior of the assembly. The vents may be formed by severing the wafer and compliant structure to form individual units, so that the severance planes intersect channels or other voids communicating with the cavities. Alternatively, the vents may be formed by forming holes in the compliant structure, or by opening bores extending through the wafer.
