Abstract: Techniques for generating electronics components that operate free of unwanted distortions such as edge diffraction and unwanted phase jumps are described. A modified production master or a modified working stamp can be implemented to generate an electronic or optical component having structures that are positioned within a desired distance from a planar surface. A production master or a working stamp is modified in dependence upon a comparison of an identified distance for each respective structure to the planar surface and a desired distance. The modified production master or the modified working stamp generates the electronic or optical component by positioning the structures in accordance with the desired distance. By positioning the structures in accordance with the desired distance, electronic components generated using the modified production master or the modified working stamp minimize distortions, such as a phase jump between the structures.

Abstract: The present invention discloses improvements to mechanical and electro-mechanical force simulators for aircraft pilot controllers, and particularly foot-actuated controllers. In particular, the invention replaces conventional foot-actuated, pilot controller systems—namely, those that employ multiple, discrete, motion control subsystems to control the various force simulation and trim functions used in modern aircraft to assist pilot control of a given axis of flight—with a single motion control system. The invention accomplishes this in part by eliminating the force-feel spring used in conventional, federated, foot-actuated, motor-coupled pilot controllers.
