  • MEMS actuators with stress releasing design
    Patent number: 8115579
    Abstract: The micro-electromechanical (MEMS) actuator comprises a hot arm member and a cold arm member. The cold arm member comprises at least two longitudinally spaced-apart flexors. The actuators may also be constructed with at least one among the hot arm member and the cold arm member comprising at least one spring section. The stress in this improved MEMS actuator is more uniformly distributed, thereby reducing the mechanical creep and improving its reliability as well as its operation life.

  • MEMS actuators and switches
    Patent number: 8115576
    Abstract: MEMS structures employing movable conductive member and a number of current-carrying stationary contact terminals which advantageously permit higher current carrying capability that prior art devices in which currents flowed through movable conductive members. Current carrying capability in excess of 1.0 amp without the need for additional current limiting devices is realized thereby lowering overall system manufacturing costs for systems employing our structures.

  • MEMS actuators and switches
    Patent number: 7602266
    Abstract: Microelectromechanical (MEMS) structures and switches employing movable actuators wherein particular ones of which move perpendicular to an underlying substrate and particular others move in a direction substantially parallel to the underlying substrate thereby providing more positive actuation.
