Abstract: A method reconstructs a streaming signal xn from streaming measurements by maintaining a working set of measurements, a working snapshot of the measurement system, an internal working signal estimate, and an external working signal estimate. Using a current working set of measurements, the internal working signal estimates, the working snapshot of the measurement system, and a model of a signal sparsity are refined. The external working signal estimate is refreshed. A subset of coefficients of the external working signal estimate is committed to an output. A next streaming measurement and a corresponding next measurement vector are received. The working set of measurements, the working snapshot of the measurement system, and the internal working signal estimate are updated to incorporate the next measurement and the corresponding measurement vector. Then, an oldest measurement and a corresponding oldest measurement vector, and an effect of the committed subset of coefficients are removed.

Abstract: An actuatable capacitive transducer including a transducer body, a first capacitor including a displaceable electrode and electrically configured as an electrostatic actuator, and a second capacitor including a displaceable electrode and electrically configured as a capacitive displacement sensor, wherein the second capacitor comprises a multi-plate capacitor. The actuatable capacitive transducer further includes a coupling shaft configured to mechanically couple the displaceable electrode of the first capacitor to the displaceable electrode of the second capacitor to form a displaceable electrode unit which is displaceable relative to the transducer body, and an electrically-conductive indenter mechanically coupled to the coupling shaft so as to be displaceable in unison with the displaceable electrode unit.
