  • Patent number: 9927675
    Abstract: A terahertz modulator based on low-dimension electron plasma wave, a manufacturing method thereof, and a high speed modulation method are provided. The terahertz modulator includes a plasmon and a cavity. The present disclosure discloses the resonance absorption mechanism caused by collective oscillation of electrons (plasma wave, namely, the plasmon). In order to enhance the coupling strength between the terahertz wave and the plasmon, a GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistor structure having a grating gate is integrated in a terahertz Fabry-Pérot cavity, and a plasmon polariton is formed arising from strong coupling of the plasmon and a cavity mode.

  • Publication number: 20170355507
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes one or more bumpers that are operable to transition between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the bumpers may be proud of one or more surfaces of the portable electronic device that the bumpers are not proud of in the stowed position. The bumpers may protect the surfaces from impact when proud of those surfaces if the portable electronic device contacts a surface, such as when the portable electronic device is dropped. The bumpers may form portions of side corners or other portions of the portable electronic device in the stowed position. In transitioning from the stowed position to the deployed position, the bumpers may rotate and/or translate.
