Abstract: Disclosed is a stage system comprising at least one flexure frame having a fixed center and movable distal ends configured to displace a tabletop operatively connected thereto along at least one axis of movement and at least two actuators comprising a first actuator and a second actuator positioned within the at least one flexure frame. The first actuator is positioned within the at least one flexure frame at a first angle of deflection from at least one beam of the at least one flexure frame and the second actuator is positioned within the at least one flexure frame at a second angle of deflection from the at least one beam. The at least two actuators are configured to produce a compensating displacement to offset yaw error as the at least two actuators expand from a contracted first position to an expanded second position.

Abstract: A MEMS vibrator includes: a substrate; a base portion which is disposed on the substrate; and a plurality of vibration portions which extend in directions different from each other from the base portion. The MEMS vibrator has a curved surface between the adjacent vibration portions.

Abstract: A phonograph pickup cartridge of moving coil type comprises a cartridge body and a stylus assembly detachably mounted on the body. The body includes a housing which firmly holds a permanent magnet and a pair of pole pieces. Magnetic gaps are defined between the pair of pole pieces in the region of the lower opening of housing. The housing carries a plurality of electrical terminal pins, which have their one end projecting externally from the rear end of the housing and which have their other end projecting through the bottom of the housing. The stylus assembly includes a knob member which supports a stylus subassembly having an armature which carries a pair of coils, and which also supports a plurality of electrical connectors which are adapted to be detachably coupled with the terminal pins. The ends of the coils are electrically connected with the connectors.
