  • Patent number: 9222273
    Abstract: A structure and its adjacent group-segregated outdoor spaces or an arrangement of structures and their adjacent group-segregated outdoor spaces includes at least one structure comprising at least one a unit and at least one b unit. The areas adjacent to the structure or structures are physically separated into a first group-segregated outdoor space and a second group-segregated outdoor space. The first group-segregated outdoor space is associated with the at least one a unit. The second group-segregated outdoor space is associated with the at least one b unit. The areas adjacent to the structure or structures are physically separated by a barrier, whereby the barrier at least partly limits visibility and access between the first and second segregated outdoor areas.

  • Patent number: 6621184
    Abstract: A pendulum motor having a stator and a cantilever beam moveable by an electrostatic force to predetermined positions relative to a supporting structure. A micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) mechanism is formed on a semiconductor substrate using process steps that are completely compatible with current CMOS technology. A cantilever beam is fixed at one end to a structural layer and an electrode arrangement that provides an electrostatic field across a gap between the beam and a stator. A force between the beam and the stator generated by the electrostatic field results in movement of the free end of the beam relative to the stator. The free end of the beam may then be displaced by a predetermined amount from an equilibrium position and held in place by means of an applied electrostatic field. Movement of the free end of the beam is in a plane parallel to the surface of the support structure and it may follow either a circular or a non-circular path.
