A robot arm (50) of the present invention includes, as a direct acting extensible/retractable joint (J3), an arm section (2) constituted by an upper structure group (20) and a lower structure group (21). Groups (20) and (21), having an arrangement in which structures are connected in series, partially engage so as to form a direct rigid combined structure, and are separated so as to release the rigid structure. An arm length can be adjusted arbitrarily. Section (2) can have a plane surface having no gap to prevent entry of a finger/dust. Separation of Groups (20) and (21) allows an upper structure (22) and a lower structure (23) to rotate around their rotational axes, to realize compact storage inside a robot arm supporting member (1). It is thus possible to prevent significantly entry of a finger/dust, and provide a compact direct acting extensible and retractable arm mechanism.

A magnetic interface generator generates a magnetic interface at a center frequency f0. The magnetic interface generator is a passive array of spirals that are deposited on a substrate surface. The magnetic interface is generated in a plane at a distance Z above the surface of the substrate. The distance Z where the magnetic interface is created is determined by the cell size of the spiral array, where the cell size is based on the spiral arm length and the spacing S between the spirals. The center frequency of the magnetic interface is determined by the average track length DAV of the spirals in the spiral array. In embodiments, the spiral array is one sub-layer in a multi-layer substrate. The spacing S of the spiral array is chosen to project the magnetic interface to another layer in the multi-layer substrate so as to improve performance of a circuit in the plane of the magnetic interface. For example, the magnetic interface can be used to increase the inductance of a printed inductor circuit, and to increase the gain and match of a microstrip patch antenna. Furthermore, the magnetic interface reduces the traverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) surface waves in the plane of the magnetic interface, which reduces unwanted coupling between transmission lines.
