Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. While the electronics are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) process sequences (e.g., CMOS, Bipolar, or BICMOS processes), the micromechanical components are fabricated using compatible micromachining processes that selectively etch away parts of the silicon wafer or add new structural layers to form the mechanical and electromechanical devices.

ABSTRACT:

Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) in the field of biomedical industry has given rise to Bio MEMS. These encompasses Biosensors, Bio instruments and tools, Bio testing and analysis etc. Bio MEMS present a great challenge to engineers to design and manufacture of these types of sensors and instruments. Biosensor serves as the interface between living and electronic systems. These systems and the sensors should not affect the behavior of the living systems. Thin film microelectronic technology offers special advantages for ....etc

Abstract


A multidisciplinary team of end users and suppliers has collaborated to develop a novel yet broadly enabling process for the design, fabrication and assembly of Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS). A key goal is to overcome the shortcomings of the polysilicon layer used for fabricating optical components in a conventional surface micromachining process. These shortcomings include the controllability and uniformity of material stress that is a major cause of curvature and deformation in released microstructures. The appr ....etc

ABSTRACT
Brake performance can be divided into two distinct classes:1) Base brake performance2) Controlled brake performance.A base brake event can be described as a normal or typical stop in which the driver maintains the vehicle in its intended direction at a controlled deceleration level that does not closely approach wheel lock. All other braking events where additional intervention may be necessary, such as wheel brake pressure control to prevent lock-up, application of a wheel brake to transfer torque across an open differential, or appl ....etc

On the macro scale, feedback control is routinely applied to improve performance and enable new tasks in complex and uncertain systems operating in noisy environments. Our lab has focused on applying feedback control ideas to systems on the micro scale. Here we show how control methods can improve existing performance in the UCLA lab-on-a-chip electrowetting system and can create entirely new capabilities in our 'micro fluidic tweezers' cell steering devices.In the Electro-Wetting-On-Dielectric (EWOD) system developed at UCLA by CJ Kim, a grid ....etc

Laser Micro-Patterning by Means of Optical Fibers with Micro-grinded Lens End Faces



Introduction

Nano-patterning of polymer surface has found a wide range of applications including biotechnology, where holes in the size of hundreds nm can influence the growth and differentiation of relatively large living cells . Instead of the e-beam patterning technique used in the Ref. 1, we ap-plied direct writing by laser-light. In our previous papers , we have demonstrated that th ....etc

Micro-electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

Introduction
The satellite industry could experience its biggest revolution since it joined the ranks of commerce, thanks to some of the smallest machines in existence. Researchers are performing experiments designed to convince the aerospace industry that microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) could open the door to low-cost, high-reliability, mass-produced satellites.MEMS combine conventional semiconductor electronics with beams, gears, levers, switches, accelerometers, diaphragms, microfluidic thrus ....etc
