Abstract: A mechanical interface for relieving stress between an outer layer and an inner insulating layer in a layered insulating tape structure surrounding an electrical conductor. The interface tape includes a porous non-woven carrier having opposing sides including a release region located at a first side and a non-release region located at an opposite second side. The release region is treated with a release material for substantially inhibiting adhesion between the first side and an adjacent outer surface. The non-release region is untreated by the release material for substantially facilitating adhesion between the second side and an adjacent inner surface.

The mirrors are cooperatively tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data, to reflect light projected incident thereto in accordance with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data.

Abstract: An apparatus includes micro-electromechanical (MEM) devices, a charge source, and a discharge mechanism. Each MEM device has different states based on a charged induced thereon.
