  • Patent number: 10374621
    Abstract: A chip scale vapor cell and millimeter wave atomic clock apparatus are disclosed. The chip scale vapor cell includes a first substrate and a second substrate bonded to the first substrate with a bonding material. A primary hermetic cavity includes a first bottom wall and first sidewalls formed in the first substrate and a first top wall formed by the lower surface of the second substrate. A secondary hermetic cavity includes a second bottom wall and second sidewalls formed in the first substrate and a second top wall formed by the lower surface of the second substrate. The secondary hermetic cavity is separate from the primary hermetic cavity and surrounds the perimeter of the primary hermetic cavity. A gas, which can be a dipolar molecular gas, is sealed in the primary hermetic cavity and the secondary hermetic cavity at a given initial pressure.

  • Patent number: 7441250
    Abstract: A computer-user interface facilitates interaction between the user and the computer in a manner which enables the computer to assist the user in accomplishing desired goals. Based upon a particular task to be performed, the computer interviews the user to obtain the information pertinent to that particular task. Once the information is provided to the computer, it works with the user to automatically perform desired tasks in response to triggering events designated by the user. In addition, the computer can notify the user whenever a task is being carried out. Any executable function can be designated by the user as the object of a task. The initiation of this task can be carried out in response to any programmatically detectable event, or trigger, which is also designated by the user. As a further feature, the user has the ability to select from among a number of different types of notification to be provided whenever the task is being performed.
