  • Publication number: 20240093927
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a method for controlling the temperature of a surface. In some embodiments, the method includes applying a variable input to a heat pump (e.g., a Peltier) in thermal communication with the surface. The variable input may vary about a voltage and may include a powered period and an unpowered period. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring a temperature of an element in thermal communication with the surface, determining, based on the temperature of the element, whether a temperature of the surface is within a safe temperature range for a user in thermal communication with the surface, in response to determining the surface is not within the safe temperature range, adjusting the voltage of the variable input to the heat pump, and in response to determining the surface is within the safe temperature range, continuing operation of the variable input at the voltage.

  • Patent number: 10656362
    Abstract: Devices with gamma (?) grooves are disclosed. The ? grooves can be used to form optical fiber arrays. The ? grooves can be formed using a dry etch, such as RIE, by modifying resist features of an etch mask to have convex curved sidewalls. The profile of the resist features is transferred to the substrate by the dry etch to form the ? grooves. The ? grooves are formed without K containing etchants, avoiding K+ ions contamination of process tools as well as health issues caused by handling alkali containing devices.

  • Patent number: 9496187
    Abstract: A multiple-sample-holder polishing setup for cross-section sample preparation and a method of making a device using the same are presented. The multiple-sample-holder polishing setup includes a frame. The frame has a hollow center, one or more long and short rods and a recess for accommodating a polishing head. The setup includes one or more sample holders. The sample holder is to be attached to the one or more long and short rods of the frame. A paddle is affixed to each sample holder. A sample is attached to the paddle. The sample is coated with a thin epoxy layer prior to polishing thereby allowing for easy inspection for site of interests as well as quick material removal.
