ABSTRACT:
A first device has a surface and includes a plurality of at largest micrometer-scale geometry structures extending along its surface. The structures have a first portion and a second portion. A plurality of at largest micrometer-scale geometry conductors are coupled to the first portion of respective structures. A converter converts a signal in the first portion of the structures to a substantially direct current signal in the respective second portion. A sensor detects a level of a signal coupled from one of the conductors to a respective one of the structures.
