  • SLM addressing methods and apparatuses
    Patent number: 7535623
    Abstract: A spatial light modulator may include a plurality of deflectable modulating elements. Each of the deflectable modulating elements may further include a support structure, an electrostatically deflectable mirror element and at least one electrode. The mirror element may be set to a deflection state by charging and selectively discharging a capacitor coupled to the at least one electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Device for protecting a chip and method for operating a chip
    Publication number: 20050095749
    Abstract: A device for protecting a chip has a chamber adapted to receive the chip, a window allowing radiation to pass therethrough and to impinge the chip and a gas inlet. The gas inlet is in communication with the chamber and adapted to receive from a gas supply a gas flow, the gas flow protecting the chip.
