An apparatus for use in low frequency vibration energy harvesting (VEH) and with actuators requiring a low deflection force. The apparatus includes a piezo flexure that is loaded with a compressive pre-load force to place the piezo flexure under compression. The piezo flexure may be supported at an intermediate point or at one end thereof. The compressive pre-load force produces flexes the piezo flexure into one or the other of two stable positions, these positions being offset on opposite sides of a longitudinal centerline representing the position of the piezo flexure that would be produced without the compressive pre-load force applied thereto. The compressive pre-load effectively provides a negative spring constant which “softens” the piezo flexure and enhances a responsiveness of the piezo flexure to low frequency vibration energy. The piezo flexure also operates over a much wider frequency bandwidth than conventional systems incorporating a tip mass.

A framework for a deployable antenna is disclosed herein. The framework basically includes a plurality of elongate ribs, a matching plurality of foldable resilient members, and a hub. Each of the elongate ribs has both a proximal end and a distal end. The foldable resilient members serve to interconnect the proximal ends of the elongate ribs to the hub. Within such a configuration, each of the foldable resilient members is capable of storing strain energy whenever forcibly folded and also releasing the strain energy whenever subsequently permitted to elastically unfold. Thus, whenever the elongate ribs are released from a stowed position in which the foldable resilient members are forcibly folded, the strain energy causes automatic deployment of the antenna as the foldable resilient members are permitted to elastically unfold. In sum, therefore, the framework obviates many conventional uses of electro-mechanical motors or actuators in deploying various antennas.

A thin blanket epitaxial layer of SiGe is grown on a silicon substrate to have a biaxial compressive stress in the growth plane. A thin epitaxial layer of silicon is deposited on the SiGe layer, with the SiGe layer having a thickness less than its critical thicknesses. Shallow trenches are subsequently fabricated through the epitaxial layers, so that the strain energy is redistributed such that the compressive strain in the SiGe layer is partially relaxed elastically and a degree of tensile strain is induced to the neighboring layers of silicon. Because this process for inducing tensile strain in a silicon over-layer is elastic in nature, the desired strain may be achieved without formation of misfit dislocations.

A testing system provides a quantitative way of measuring the adhesive strength of adhesives, paints, coatings, adhesive tapes, and other test substances to underlying adherends and substrates, such as metals. The test system of the invention consistently produces uniform results. First and second adherends are bonded together over a relatively small area near the centers and are then pulled apart by a force applied at one end of one of the adherends. The force is increased until the second adherend member is debonded from the first throughout the test bonding zone, thus determining the total energy expended in debonding the first and second adherend members plus strain energy expended in displacing the second member from the first. The force is then decreased until there is no longer any displacement of the second member from the first while concurrently measuring the decreasing force and displacement of the second adherend member from the first adherend member as a function of the decreasing force. This determines the strain energy apart from the total energy. The strain energy is then subtracted from the total energy and the resulting difference is divided by the area of the test bonding zone to determine the specific work of debonding. The strength of the adhesive properties of the test substances, and also the cohesive bonding strength of such substances may be determined utilizing the system of the invention.

The confining pressure effect is considered and the artificial fracture density formed after the rock is expanded is considered, so the method can be used for evaluating the artificial joint network formingcapability of the formation condition and guiding the volumetric fracturing construction to select wells and select formations.

A long, elastically deployable tubular boom structure consisting of two or more thin-walled booms with a continuous longitudinal slit-opening along its entire length on the backside and a composite reinforced or metallic construction. The slit-opening, thin-walled tubular section accompanied by the boom elastic properties and unique fastening method between the boom segments allows the segmented boom to be flattened and then rolled up into an extremely compact cylindrical stowage volume.

An epitaxially grown layer III-V solar cell is separated from the growth substrate by propagating a crack close to the epi / wafer interface. The crack is driven by the elastic strain energy built up due to thermal stresses between GaAs and polyimide by cooling below room temperature. A GaAs wafer is bonded to a polyimide substrate on the epi-side and scribed on the opposite side. The crack is initiated from the scratch and guided along the interface using an epitaxially grown sacrificial layer with lower fracture toughness under the solar cell. No expensive ion implantation or lateral chemical etching of a sacrificial layer is needed. The active layer is transferred wafer-scale to inexpensive, flexible, organic substrate. The process allows re-using of the wafer to grow new cells, resulting in savings in raw materials and grinding and etching costs amounting to up to 30% of the cost of the cell. Several cells are integrated on a common blanket polyimide sheet and interconnected by copper plating. The blanket is covered with a transparent spray-on polyimide that replaces the cover glass. The solar cell is stress-balanced to remain flat on orbit.Wide bandgap materials, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) are very promising for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and power electronics. These materials are extremely hard and difficult to machine and very expensive. The lack of good quality bulk GaN substrates with a smooth surface at a reasonable price is hampering the development of vertical devices.A rapid thinning technique is presented by lifting-off a 20-70 μm thick layer from the surface within a fraction of a second, which leaves the surface shiny and smooth. The savings in lapping and polishing add up to 60%, when this technique is incorporated in the crystal manufacturing process. This technology also has application for backside thinning where the savings are even larger.
