    Abstract: Micromachined passive alignment assemblies and methods of using and making the same are provided. The alignment assemblies are used to align at least one optical element. The alignment assemblies may be configured with kinematic, pseudo-kinematic, redundant or degenerate support structures. One alignment assembly comprises a base and a payload, which supports at least one optical element. The payload may be coupled to the base via connecting structures. The base, the payload and/or the connecting structures may have internal flexure assemblies for preloading a connection, thermal compensation and/or strain isolation.

    Abstract: A piezoelectric actuating apparatus includes a frame having an opening, a rotatable element, first and second actuating elements, a sensing element, transmission elements, a sensing electrode, and a driving electrode. The rotatable element is in the opening, connected to the frame via a rotating shaft structure, and reciprocatingly swings relative to the frame around an axis of the rotating shaft structure as a center. The first actuating element is connected to the rotatable element. The transmission elements are between the first and second actuating elements, and between the first actuating element and the sensing element. The second actuating element and the sensing element are coupled to the rotatable element via the transmission elements. The sensing electrode is on a part of the transmission elements and the sensing element. The driving electrode is on another part of the transmission elements and the first and second actuating elements.

    Abstract: A MEMS electrostatic piston-tube actuator is disclosed. The actuator comprises two structures. A structure that comprises a plurality of fixed piston-like electrodes that are attached to a base, and form the stator of the actuator. A second structure that comprises a plurality of moving tube-like electrodes that are attached to the body of the upper structure and form the rotor of the actuator. The rotor is attached to the stator through a mechanical spring. The rotor of the actuator provides a translational motion, about the normal axis to the structures. The present piston-tube actuator utilizes a configuration that enables the use of wide area electrodes, and therefore, provides a high output force enabling translation of the rotor.
