Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for sensing radiation emitted by an object. For example, one device includes a substrate and a movable layer coupled to the substrate. The movable layer is configured to receive radiation from the object and move relative to the substrate to a position in response to a change in temperature. The device also includes a sensor that is configured to produce a signal responsive to the position of the movable layer. The signal is indicative of the radiation emitted by the object.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a high resolution image from a plurality of images captured from a plurality of sensors. The pixels in one sensor have at least one of different size, shape, or orientation than pixels in another sensor. The difference in size, shape, or orientation of the pixels and the interconnection of pixels on respective sensors provides a high level of certainty that there will be sufficient difference in the captured images, with limited loss in image content, to generate a relatively high resolution image from the images captured by the respective sensors.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatus for wireless power transfer using an array of structures. Each of the structures can include a piezoelectric material portion and a magnetic material portion. Each of the magnetic material portions can respond to an alternating magnetic field generated by an external transmitter device, resulting in the structures oscillating and straining the corresponding piezoelectric material portions to generate electrical current.
