Patent number: 8269396Abstract: An electro-mechanical actuator includes a comb drive and a deformable connector. The comb drive has a first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate. The capacitor plates have teeth capable of inter-digitating. The deformable connector is configured to apply a mechanical restoring force to the first capacitor plate. The deformable connector is configured to restore the first capacitor plate to be at an equilibrium rest position in response to no control voltage being applied across the capacitor. The comb drive is more engaged at the equilibrium rest position than at a mechanical stability threshold of the comb drive. The capacitor plates are disengaged at the equilibrium rest position.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Vladimir Anatolyevich Aksyuk, Carl Jeremy Nuzman, Maria Elina Simon, Alan Weiss
