    摘要: Systems and methods for attaching an implant device to tissue by mechanically (and non-invasively) anchoring the device to the tissue. The systems and methods provide a safe, practical way to attach an implant device to tissue in a non-invasive, or less invasive manner. According to the present invention, an implant device includes one or more protruding anchor-like structures for securely attaching to tissue. One or more device features, such as sensing elements, may be incorporated on the implant device. The anchor structures are configured and arranged to match the topology and features of the tissue environment where implant is to occur.

    摘要: A system and method for generating power. The system has a first electrode member comprising a first region and a second electrode member comprising a second region. Preferably, the second electrode member is coupled to the first electrode member. An electret is coupled between the first electrode member and the second electrode member.

    摘要: MEMs devices are integrally fabricated with included micro or nanoparticles by providing a mixture of a sacrificial material and a multiplicity of particles, disposing the mixture onto a substrate, fabricating a MEMs structure on the substrate including at least part of the mixture, so that at least some of the mixture is enclosed in the MEMs structure, removing the sacrificial material, and leaving at least some of the multiplicity of particles substantially free and enclosed in the MEMs structure. The step of fabricating a MEMs structure is quite general and is contemplated as including one or a multiplicity of additional steps for creating some type of structure in which the particles, which may be microbeads or nanobeads, are included. A wide variety of useful applications for MEMs integrated with micro or nanoparticles are available.

    摘要: A flexible skin formed of silicon islands encapsulated in a polyimide film. The silicon islands preferably include a MEMS device and are connected together by a polyimide film (preferably about 1–100 μm thick). To create the silicon islands, silicon wafers are etched to a desirable thickness (preferably about 10–500 μm) by Si wet etching and then patterned from the back side by reactive ion etching (RIE).

    摘要: A micromachined coupler for coupling a capillary having a first size to an orifice having a shape and a second size, has a body which has a shape conforming the shape of the cavity into which the body must fit. A through hole is defined through the body. The through hole has a size conforming to the first size of the capillary. The capillary is disposable into the through hole so that the capillary is communicated to the orifice without the first and second sizes necessarily being the same. The cavity and the body have conforming slanting surfaces, and in particular the cavity and the body define truncated pyramidal shapes. The cavity and the body each have a truncated pyramidal shape. The pyramidal shape may be square, triangular, or conical. A method of fabricating the micromachined coupler is achieved either by micromaching or micromolding.
