Abstract: A drive system including a partition wall; a drive device positioned on a first side of the partition wall, wherein the drive device includes at least one first member positioned on said first side of said partition wall. An actuator for actuating the drive device, where the actuator is positioned on a second side of the partition wall so that the partition wall is between the drive device and the actuator, and where the actuator includes at least one second member positioned on the second side of said partition wall. The second member of the actuator is magnetically coupled to the first member of the drive device, where movement of the second member causes movement of the first member, and to a device including a drive system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring target particles between two substrates, the method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a receiver substrate with a stamp substrate having the target particles disposed thereon to transfer said target particles to the receiver substrate; and (b) applying a vacuum to the contacting substrates during said contacting step to prevent non-target particles from being deposited onto said receiver substrate.
