Abstract: A coiled bio-medical device has a base layer coiled to form a plurality of concentric cylinders. The base layer comprises an inner surface. The coiled bio-medical includes a bio-sensor arranged on the inner surface of the base layer. The bio-sensor is adapted to collect bio-medical data from an organism. A transmitter is arranged on the inner surface of the base layer and is adapted to transmit the collected bio-medical data.

Abstract: A curled transistor comprises a coiled semiconductor substrate having a plurality of concentrically curled layers. Source and drain regions are configured on a portion of the coiled semiconductor substrate, and a gate dielectric is positioned between the source and drain regions. A first set of metallic contacts electrically couple to the source region on the coiled semiconductor substrate and a second set of metallic contacts electrically couple to the drain region on the coiled semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A device includes a coiling layer, a circuit device layer and active microelectronic circuitry fabricated on the circuit device layer. The coiling layer is formed onto a surface of and coupled to the circuit device layer. The coiling layer having intrinsic stresses which cause coiling of the coiling layer and the circuit device layer including the microelectronic circuitry as the circuit device layer is released from an underlying substrate. A coiled circuit device is formed.

Abstract: A micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) mirror assembly including an array of micro-mirrors formed on a substrate and having springs on one side and which angularly tilt between ON and OFF states in response to an electrostatic force generated by a voltage applied to an electrode located on the substrate. At least one, but preferably two springs in the form of two thin strips of metal attach to post(s) at the side edge of the mirror and act as springs which provide a restoring force when the mirror is tilted between an OFF state which occurs when the mirror is flat relative to the substrate with no voltage applied, and in the ON state when the mirror is tilted when a voltage is applied.

Abstract: A high resolution pen-sized projector for controlling the position and size of an image generated by a closed loop control system consists of four major system components including: a virtual VGA display located inside of a XGA display, a position acquisition system, a displacement compensating control system to determine correct position of the VGA display inside of the XGA display, and a dark display area of the background portion of the XGA display.

Abstract: A small hand-held pocket-pen sized image projector device having enhancement features which include a pointing capability whereby a user can direct a laser pointing beam to a projected image and an icon identification capability for selectively orienting or otherwise controlling an image projected by the device. Also, a button type “clicking” function selection capability similar to that in a common laptop personal computer is also provided.

Abstract: A small portable “pocket pen size” projector/image grabber device for allowing an individual to gather, share and exploit information in a projected format in real time, day or night, with other individuals on demand. An ultra high density MEMS mirror display array provides a 1024×768 line projection display. An on-axis 512×384 color CCD imager is also included resulting in a digitally-aligned image capture and overlay display capability. A sequentially-addressed three color chip laser and low cost plastic optics provides full color high resolution bright displays for group viewing. 3-D color imaging is also provided by a binocular attachment to the device which permits the capturing of three-dimensional imagery.

Abstract: A coiled circuit device is produced by forming a circuit layer on a substrate. Optional insulator layers may be disposed above and below the circuit layer. The circuit layer, which may be memory, control, or other circuitry, is released from the substrate such that it coils into a dense, coiled device. A stressed coiling layer may be included which effects coiling when the circuit layer is released.
