Abstract: A micro-electromechanical temperature control system including a micro-electromechanical apparatus is provided. The micro-electromechanical apparatus includes a heater and a thermal reservoir. A specific heat capacity of the thermal reservoir is greater than a specific heat capacity of the heater, so that a heating time and a heating frequency of the heater are reduced to save electrical power consumption. The micro-electromechanical temperature control system is adapted for a micro-electromechanical sensor that is required to be controlled at an operating temperature, such as a gas sensor.

Abstract: A pressure sensor with calibration device includes a casing, a diaphragm, a sensing element, a medium, and at least one calibration element. The diaphragm is disposed on the casing, wherein the casing and the diaphragm define an accommodating space. The sensing element is disposed in the casing. The medium is filled in the accommodating space and in contact with the sensing element. The at least one calibration element is adjustably disposed at the casing and extended into the accommodating space to be in contact with the medium, wherein when the at least one calibration element is moved relative to the casing in a direction toward the accommodating space or in a direction away from the accommodating space, the at least one calibration element changes the pressure applied to the medium. The pressure sensor with calibration device adjusts the pressure value sensed by the sensing element via the calibration element.

Abstract: A MEMS apparatus having measuring range selector including a sensor and an IC chip is provided. The sensor includes a sensing device. The IC chip includes a voltage range selector, an analog front end, a control device and an A/D converter. The sensing device is configured to detect the physical quantity and generate a sensing voltage. The voltage range selector is configured to select a sub-voltage range having a first upper-bound and a first lower-bound. The analog front end is configured to receive the sensing voltage and output a first voltage. The A/D converter has a full scale voltage range having a second lower-bound and a second upper-bound. A ratio of the full scale voltage range to the sub-voltage range is defined as a gain factor. A difference obtained by subtracting the first lower-bound from the first voltage is defined as a shift factor. The control device is configured to adjust the first voltage to the second voltage according to the gain factor and the shift factor.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical (MEMS) apparatus includes a substrate, two first anchors, a frame, and two elastic members. The substrate is provided with a reference point thereon. The frame surrounds the two first anchors, and each of the elastic members connects the corresponding first anchor and the frame. Each of the first anchors is disposed near the center of the MEMS apparatus to decrease an effect caused by warpage of the substrate. The MEMS apparatus can be applied to an MEMS sensor having a rotatable mass, such as a three-axis accelerometer or a magnetometer, to improve process yield, reliability, and measurement accuracy.

Abstract: A ball screw with force sensor in radial direction including a screw rod, a screw nut, a plurality of balls, and a force sensor is provided. The screw nut has a cavity. The cavity is extended along a radial direction from an outer surface of the screw nut. The force sensor is disposed in the cavity of the screw nut, and the force sensor includes a stationary base and an elastic component. The stationary base includes a displacement restraint, and the elastic component includes a contact end and a fixed end. The displacement restraint is coupled to the cavity to prevent the stationary base from being displaced in the radial direction for fixing stationary base firmly in the cavity. The fixed end is connected to the stationary base, and the contact end contacts a bottom surface of the cavity in order to sense a force along the radial direction.
