Abstract: A miniaturized relay having a first zone facing a second zone, a first condenser plate, a second condenser plate arranged in the second zone, and smaller than or equal to the first plate, an intermediate space between both zones, a conductive element arranged in the intermediate space and which is mechanically independent from the adjacent walls and can move freely across the intermediate space depending on voltages present between both plates, contact points of an electric circuit, in which the conductive element closes the electric circuit by making contact with the contact points. Such relays can be used, for example, as: accelerometers, accelerometers in airbags, tiltmeters, Coriolis force detectors, microphones, in acoustic applications, pressure sensors, flow sensors, temperature sensors, gas sensors and magnetic field sensors.

Abstract: Regulator circuit and corresponding uses. The regulator circuit includes at least two input terminals, at least two reactances, at least two output terminals, a plurality of interconnections for connecting said reactances with respect to one another and for connecting at least one of the reactances with the input and output terminals. The interconnections include miniaturized relays that allow exchanging a series connection of the reactances for a parallel connection and vice versa. The circuit can include a voltage monitor, power supply modules, input and output protectors, reference signal modules, and control modules. The regulator circuit has multiple applications including charge pump, power supply, DC/DC converter, DC/AC converter, AC/DC converter, D/A converter, A/D converter, and power amplifier.

Abstract: Electromagnetic signal emitting and/or receiving device and corresponding integrated circuit. The electromagnetic signal emitting and/or receiving device defines a minimum operational bandwidth and includes one or several arrays of antennas, each having at least one antenna, and which generate an output signal corresponding to the output signal generated by an hypothetical antenna equal to this antenna, when the hypothetical antenna is performing a periodic movement, preferably a rotation or combination of rotations. The periodic movement must have a frequency higher than a minimum operational bandwidth. In this manner the directivity of the antennas can be affected by changing their radiation pattern, being possible to obtain high directivity devices. The periodic movement can be replaced by an array of fixed antennas oriented in space and sequentially connected by miniaturized relays.

Abstract: A miniaturized electro-optical device having a first zone facing a second zone, a first condenser plate, a second condenser plate arranged in the second zone and smaller than or equal to the first condenser plate, an intermediate space between both zones, with a conductive element arranged therein and which is independent from the side walls and moves thereacross the space depending on voltages present across both plates, two inlet/outlet points for light of an optical circuit, where the conductive element modifies the state of passage of light between the inlet/outlet points, when it is in contact with the stop.
