Abstract: There is provided a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device (102, 200, 300, 404) for cancelling noise generated by oscillation of a movable micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) element (104, 204, 304, 406). The micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device (102, 200, 300, 404) includes the movable micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) element (104, 204, 304, 406), an actuator (106, 208, 306, 408), a controller (108, 410) and a movable noise cancelling element (110, 202, 312, 412). The controller (108, 410) provides electrical signals to drive the actuator (106, 208, 306, 408) and the movable noise cancelling element (110, 202, 312, 412) in a way to cancel the noise generated in the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device (102, 200, 300, 404) by oscillation of the movable MEMS element (104, 204, 304, 406).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a deflection device (100, 200, 300, 400) for use in a scanner. The deflection device (100, 200, 300, 400) includes a substrate (102, 202), a mirror (106, 206, 304, 404) and actuator means (110). The mirror (106, 206, 304, 404) arranged in a recess (104, 204, 306, 406) in the substrate (102, 202) by connector means (108) in such a way that it can rotate about at least two axes in an oscillatory manner. The actuator means (110) causes the mirror (106, 206, 304, 404) to oscillate. The actuator means (110) are arranged in one or more trenches (112A-D) in the substrate (102, 202) surrounding the recess (104, 204, 306, 406), in such a way that a change of shape of the actuator means (110) will cause a movement in the substrate (102, 202), thereby inducing oscillatory movement of the mirror (106, 206, 304, 404).

Abstract: A micromechanical resonator assembly which includes an internal actuator. The internal actuator further includes an oscillation body configured to oscillate about one or more axes, the oscillation body having one or more eigen frequencies. The micromechanical resonator assembly further includes an external actuator that includes an oscillating part. The micromechanical resonator assembly further includes a mounting base that includes electronic driving part. The external actuator being mounted on the mounting base and being electrically connected to the electronic driving part, for allowing excitation of the oscillation body of the internal actuator by transfer of energy from the oscillating part to the oscillating body. The micromechanical resonator assembly provides external actuation of the oscillation body of the internal actuator by use of the external actuator and hence, provides extremely large scan angles of 180°.

Abstract: An electric sensor array which is provided with several sensor positions that each have at least two microelectrodes. Molecular substances can be detected electrochemically and charged molecules can be transported or handled using the array. Measuring procedures can be effected, especially using two addressing procedures, in which sensor positions can be individually addressed and electrochemically or electrically controlled by pairing or in groups for voltage or impedance measurements. For biomolecular assays, affinity-binding molecules can be immobilized at the sensor positions, between the microelectrodes, or on auxiliary surfaces.
