  • Thermal micro-actuator based on selective electrical excitation
    Patent number: 6739132
    Abstract: A thermal microactuator is provided that can be deflected in multiple positions. The actuator has a hot arm and a cold arm coupled together at their distal ends suspended above a reference plane of a substrate. A potential difference is applied across the hot arm so that a current circulates through the hot arm but not the cold arm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 25, 2004
    Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
    Inventors: Susan C. Bromley, Bradley J. Nelson, Karl Vollmers, Arunkumar Subramanian, Eniko Enikov, Kamal Deep Mothilal

  • Thermally-activated actuator
    Publication number: 20030200748
    Abstract: An actuator having a hot-arm and a cold-arm wherein the hot-arm and cold-arm are vertically offset from one another. The hot-arm is heated to cause the actuator to move both vertically and horizontally. When used as a relay, an electrostatic force latches the actuator when the electrodes are brought in close proximity to one another.
