  • Patent number: 6373049
    Abstract: A knock mode scanning near-field optical microscope comprises a light source member, an optical fiber probe connected at one end thereof with the light source member such that other end of the optical fiber probe forms a near-field point source of light, and that the optical fiber probe is attached with one end of a suspension arm member of an oscillation member. The oscillation member further has a piezoelectric ceramics, which is disposed on the suspension arm member, and is driven by a harmonic wave signal by a signal feedback member so as to bring about a change in amplitude and phase of the optical fiber probe in order to result in a feedback control.

  • Patent number: 6136208
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a planar microprobe and method of manufacturing the same. The present invention utilizes semiconductor process technologies that includes electroplating technology and sacrificial layer technology to integrate constituent elements on a silicon wafer having an insulator layer. The planar microprobe comprises: an upper cantilever beam including a first electrode; a supporting pad coupled to the upper cantilever beam; and a lower cantilever beam coupled to the supporting pad, situated below the upper cantilever beam and spaced by a distance from the upper cantilever beam. Besides, the lower cantilever beam comprises: a second electrode in cooperation with the first electrode to control a vertical displacement of the lower cantilever beam by applying an external voltage thereto. A tip is coupled to the second electrode. The microprobe is manufactured by depositing a photoresist sacrificial layer on a lower cantilever beam. Metal is electroplated to form an upper cantilever beam.

  • Patent number: 5908603
    Abstract: An integrated ozone generator is disclosed. It includes: (a) an upper covering layer having a thin film, and a permanent magnet being installed on the thin film, the permanent magnet having a periphery which is surrounded with a coil on which a plurality of contact points are installed for inputting an oscillating signal, so as to form an electromagnetically actuating micro pump, the upper covering layer further having a hole formed on a first side of the upper covering layer and an upper thin film electrode and a discharging teethed structure installed on an inside surface of the covering layer away from the hole; and (b) a base having a groove which is connected with an inner hole of the upper covering layer to form a gas chamber, a gradually opened channel at one side of the gas chamber for inputting gas, and another gradually reducing channel at another side of the gas chamber.

  • Patent number: 5733512
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ozone generating device, comprising: a main body, having a cavity, on the lateral sides further having a plurality of inlet holes, which connect the cavity to the exterior to let in air, and on the top side having a plurality of outlet holes, which connect the cavity to the exterior to let out air with ozone; two electrodes, attached to the bottom and the top side of the cavity, for generating an electric discharge, so as to generate ozone in the cavity; and a heating device, installed below the electrode at the bottom side of the cavity, so as to heat the electrode and, indirectly, air in the cavity; wherein heating the first electrode by the heating device allows the operating voltage for generating an electric discharge to be reduced and heating the air with ozone within the cavity causes it to drift upward and to flow out of the cavity through the outlet holes.
