Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100005884 | High Performance Sensors and Methods for Forming the Same - A sensor includes a proof mass suspended by a suspension beam, the suspension beam having a thickness less than a thickness of the proof mass. | 01-14-2010 |
20100171514 | MEMS DOSIMETER - In various embodiments, a dosimeter is employed to passively record a peak pressure (e.g., a peak blast pressure) and/or a maximum acceleration experienced by the dosimeter. | 07-08-2010 |
20110132088 | FLEXURE ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING AND USING THE SAME - In one embodiment, an accelerometer includes a suspension frame, a proof mass, and a plurality of flexures suspending the proof mass from the suspension frame. The flexures allow the proof mass to deflect in response to an acceleration along a sensitive axis of the accelerometer. Each flexure exhibits an initial spring rate along the sensitive axis of substantially zero. | 06-09-2011 |
20110150667 | MEMS ELECTROSTATIC FLUIDIC PUMPS AND VALVES - In various embodiments, a pump is provided that includes a microfluidic channel and a plurality of electrodes for electrostatically translating a target fluid along the channel from an inlet to an outlet. In other embodiments, a valve includes a microfluidic channel, a reservoir in fluidic communication with the channel, and an electrode for electrostatically drawing a fluid from the reservoir into the channel so as to block the flow of other fluids through the channel. | 06-23-2011 |
20110247942 | ALKALI-METAL GENERATOR AND ABSORBER - Electrodes are positioned substantially in contact with at least one surface of a solid to generate or absorb alkali metals when a voltage is applied between the electrodes. | 10-13-2011 |
20120297871 | MEMS DOSIMETER - In various embodiments, a dosimeter is employed to passively record a peak pressure (e.g., a peak blast pressure) and/or a maximum acceleration experienced by the dosimeter. | 11-29-2012 |
20130021758 | Interconnect Schemes, and Materials and Methods for Producing the Same - An interconnect scheme includes a conductive ink forming a plurality of conductive regions, and a dielectric ink occupying spaces between the conductive regions. The conductive ink and the dielectric ink have substantially identical optical, acoustic, and x-ray absorption properties, thereby making the interconnect scheme tamper-resistant and/or difficult to identify and reverse-engineer using conventional detection methods. | 01-24-2013 |
