20150285836 | MULTIPLE PROBE ACTUATION - A method of actuating a plurality of probes by delivering photothermal energy to the probes so that the probes are heated and deform relative to a sample. The photothermal energy is delivered to the probes by: directing an input beam into an optical device; transforming the input beam with the optical device into a plurality of actuation beamlets which are not parallel with each other; and scanning the actuation beamlets across the probes, optionally via an objective lens. A spacing between the actuation beamlets is different to a spacing between the probes so that only a subset (typically only one) of the actuation beamlets illuminates a probe at any instant. As the actuation beamlets scan across the probes the probes are illuminated in an illumination sequence. The actuation beamlets are controlled so that different amounts of photothermal energy are delivered to at least two of the probes during the illumination sequence. | 10-08-2015 |

20080258953 | DIGITIZING AN ANALOG SIGNAL, AND RECONSTITUTING AN ANALOG SIGNAL FROM A DIGITIZED VERSION OF THE ANALOG SIGNAL - An embodiment of an audio-signal digitizer includes a modulator and a converter. The modulator is operable to receive an analog audio signal, and is operable to angle modulate a carrier signal with the analog audio signal to generate a modulated analog signal having an average amplitude. The converter is operable to convert the modulated analog signal into a digital signal having a first level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude larger than approximately the average amplitude and having a second level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude smaller than approximately the average amplitude. Because such a digitizer uses angle modulation to digitize an analog audio signal, the resulting digital audio signal may retain higher frequencies of the analog audio signal than a digital audio signal obtained by amplitude sampling would retain. And the retaining of higher frequencies may introduce less distortion into the reconstituted audio and acoustic signals. | 10-23-2008 |
