    Abstract: Tunable MEMS resonators having adjustable resonance frequency and capable of handling large signals are described. In one exemplary design, a tunable MEMS resonator includes (i) a first part having a cavity and a post and (ii) a second part mated to the first part and including a movable layer located under the post. Each part may be covered with a metal layer on the surface facing the other part. The movable plate may be mechanically moved by a DC voltage to vary the resonance frequency of the MEMS resonator. The cavity may have a rectangular or circular shape and may be empty or filled with a dielectric material. The post may be positioned in the middle of the cavity. The movable plate may be attached to the second part (i) via an anchor and operated as a cantilever or (ii) via two anchors and operated as a bridge.

  • Publication number: 20140009863
    Abstract: A variable capacitance type capacitor includes an inside member and an outside member including a space for housing the inside member. The inside member has a columnar shape, and a first conductor pattern is formed on a circumferential surface thereof. The outside member has a predetermined dielectric constant, and a second conductor pattern is formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof so as to oppose the first conductor pattern formed on the inside member. The inside member housed in the space of the outside member is displaced relative to the outside member in a direction of a central axis of the inside member in response to an externally applied force, and an opposed area between the first conductor pattern and the second conductor pattern changes to thereby form a capacitance corresponding to the externally applied force between the first electrode and the second electrode.

    Abstract: A wiring substrate includes an insulating layer, an upper wiring pattern, and a lower wiring pattern, the wiring patterns sandwiching the insulating layer. The lower wiring pattern includes an interlayer connecting conductor integral therewith and projecting toward the upper wiring pattern for electrical connection to the upper wiring pattern. The interlayer connecting conductor is joined to the upper wiring pattern so as to penetrate into the upper wiring pattern beyond a joining interface between the insulating layer and the upper wiring pattern. Thus, the wiring substrate adaptable for a large current is provided without causing degradation of reliability in connection, which may occur by cracking, disconnection, interlayer peeling-off, etc.

    Abstract: A simulated sunlight irradiation apparatus (100) has transmittance adjustment members (13a and 13b) provided above an irradiation surface of a light guide plate (10) and in the vicinity of either incident face of the light guide plate (10) on which simulated sunlight is incident. The transmittance adjustment members (13a and 13b) adjust the transmittance of light in a portion of a wavelength band of simulated sunlight that is emitted from the irradiation surface of the light guide plate (10), thus bringing about improvement in spectral coincidence of the simulated sunlight. This provides a simulated sunlight irradiation apparatus that can radiate simulated sunlight with high spectral coincidence.
