A power supply control circuit for a portable electronic device is capable of connecting and disconnecting a power supply with respect to an electrical load of the device. The power supply control circuit offers a relatively quick transition time and low leakage current, making the control circuit particularly suitable for applications that require the power supply to remain connected to the electrical load at all times.

An optical cross-connect switch comprises a base (), a flap () and one or more electrically conductive landing pads () connected to the flap (). The flap () has a bottom portion that is movably coupled to the base () such that the flap () is movable with respect to a plane of the base () from a first orientation to a second orientation. The one or more landing pads () are electrically isolated from the flap () and electrically coupled to be equipotential with a landing surface.

A method and apparatus for maintaining the state of a MEMS device in the event of a power failure are disclosed. The apparatus and method may be used with a MEMS device generally having one or more MEMS elements moveably coupled to a substrate that uses electrostatic clamping force to sustain the state of the MEMS element. According to the method, a capacitive or other charge-storing circuit is coupled between a clamping surface and an electrical ground. During normal operation, a clamping voltage is applied between the clamping surface and at least one MEMS element to retain the at least one MEMS element against the clamping surface. In the event of a power failure, the source of the clamping voltage and other circuit paths to ground are isolated from the clamping surface. The charge-storing circuit maintains an electric charge on the clamping surface. Leaky circuit paths to ground may be isolated from the clamping surface by an isolator element configured to electrically isolate the clamping surface in the event of a power failure. The isolator element may include an opto-isolator or a low leakage diode.

The present invention provides for permitting hands-free operation of a telephone handset in a vehicle. The device, having a base pivotally attached to the vehicle above the door opening on the driver's side, and also has means for storing the device above the door opening when not in use. Means are provided for wiring the device to the microphone input of the mobile phone set. A resiliently flexible elongated extension, having a coaxial cable being disposed therein, with a proximal end connected to the base and and a distal end containing a microphone. The extension connects the energy source to the distal end and is formed of a material that can be easily flexed by hand to assume a multiple of different shapes and angles, and which can retain a given shape indefinitely. The distal end is normally oriented towards the user's mouth when in position for use.
