  • Planar electronebulization sources modeled on a calligraphy pen and the production thereof
    Patent number: 8294119
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrospray source having a structure comprising at least one flat and thin tip (3) in cantilever in relation to the rest (1) of the structure, the tip (3) being provided with a capillary slot (5) formed through the complete thickness of the tip and which ends up at the end (6) of the tip (3) to form an ejection orifice of the electrospray source, the source comprising means of supplying (4) the capillary slot (5) with liquid to be nebulised and means of applying an electrospray voltage to the liquid. The invention further concerns a method of manufacturing said electrospray source.

  • Microelectromechanical System Comprising a Deformable Portion and a Stress Sensor
    Publication number: 20090301176
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical system comprises a deformable portion and at least one stress sensor fixedly attached to the deformable portion. The sensor itself comprises a base portion and a shunt portion juxtaposed on the deformable portion, and connections arranged to detect a change of a distribution of an electric current in the base and shunt portions. Such a system is suitable for many applications, in particular for forming a portion of an arm of an atomic force microscope or for entering into the constitution of a bio sensor.
