Abstract: A position reference device for rowing indicates the relative hip and hand positions of the rower over the course of each rowing stroke. The position reference device provides a reference for kinesthetic learning through constant feedback about torso and hand position. Embodiments of the feedback device can be used on either a boat or on a rowing machine. The embodiments for boats in particular provide the immediate on-water feedback that enables a rower to improve technique in a way that conventional feedback devices generally do not. The rowing machine embodiments enable rowers to improve skill while off the water thus enabling the rower to learn better technique even when it is not possible to row on water.

Abstract: A novel optical-electrical MEMS device overlaid or covered with an optically transmissive substrate held spaced in inverted preferably flip-chip bonded fashion to the device, with transparent electrodes provided in the substrate for generating an upper mirror-actuating field to supplemental the customary lower mirror-well field, enabling complementary operation.

Abstract: A novel array of optically and electrically interacting optical MEMS dies physically and electrically integrally attached upon an optically transmissive preferably (transparent) printed circuit substrate that is monolithically formed with one or more optical components, such as lenses, for providing fixed optical path alignment and interaction therebetween, and with provision for the integration also of active optical components such as lasers and photodiodes and the like.
