A micro-fabricated atomic clock structure is thermally insulated so that the atomic clock structure can operate with very little power in an environment where the external temperature can drop to &#x2212;40&#xb0; C., while at the same time maintaining the temperature required for the proper operation of the VCSEL and the gas within the vapor cell.

Micro-fabricated atomic clock structure and method of forming the atomic clock structure

The cost and size of an atomic magnetometer are reduced by attaching together a first die which integrates together a vapor cell, top and side photo detectors, and processing electronics, a second die which integrates together an optics package and a heater for the vapor cell, and a third die which integrates together a VCSEL, a heater for the VCSEL, and control electronics.

An apparatus includes an adapter having a charging unit defining a space configured to receive a wireless headset. The charging unit includes transmit circuitry configured to wirelessly transmit power to the wireless headset when the wireless headset is inserted into the space of the charging unit. At least a portion of the adapter is configured to be inserted into an auxiliary or accessory power socket of a vehicle. The power socket could represent a cigarette lighter holster.
