Abstract: A microelectromechanical and/or nanoelectromechanical device having a fixed part, at least one suspended part configured to be moveable in the plane of the device with respect to the fixed part along at least one first direction and a first suspension means for suspending the suspended part. The first suspension means includes two suspension elements each having a first end fixed directly to the suspended part and a second end connected to the fixed part, each suspension element having a half-ellipse shape in the plane and extending between the first end and the second end, and the two suspension elements being arranged with respect to each other so as to form an ellipse.

Abstract: Microelectromechanical and/or nanoelectromechanical device comprising a fixed part (4), at least one suspended part (2) intended to be moveable in the plane of said device with respect to the fixed part (4) along at least one first direction (Y), a first means (6) for suspending said suspended part (2), said first suspension means (6) comprising two suspension elements (8.1, 8.2) each suspension element (8.1, 8.2) comprising a first end fixed directly to the suspended part (2) and a second end connected to the fixed part (4), each suspension element (8.1, 8.2) having a half-ellipse shape in the plane and extending between the first end and the second end, the two suspension elements (8.1, 8.2) being arranged with respect to each other so as to form an ellipse.

Abstract: The method for managing a set (100) of communicating objects (101), which are distributed such that each object (101) in the set (100) is neighboring at least one other object (101) in said set (100) so as to form a pair of neighboring objects that are capable of communicating with one another, has the following steps: activation (E1) of an initial object (101a) chosen among the objects (101) in the set (100); propagation (E2), from the activated initial object (101a), of a signal to each of the other objects in the set, said propagation being configured such that each of said other objects in the set has received, at the end of the step of propagation (E2), said signal from at least one neighboring object belonging to said set at least once.
