摘要: A heat-sensitive apparatus includes a substrate with a top surface, one or more bars being rotatably joined to the surface and having bimorph portions, and a plate rotatably joined to the surface and substantially rigidly joined to the one or more bars. Each bimorph portion bends in response to being heated. The one or more bars and the plate are configured to cause the plate to move farther away from the top surface in response to the one or more bimorph portions being heated.

摘要: A representative embodiment of the invention provides an infrared (IR) detector having a movable plate supported at an offset distance from a substrate by a suspension arm. In response to a temperature difference between the plate and the substrate generated by the incident IR radiation, the suspension arm deforms and changes the offset distance for the plate. In one embodiment, the suspension arm has three rod-shaped bimorph transducers that lie within a plane that is parallel to the substrate. The transducers are also parallel to one another, with the transducer that is attached to an anchor of the suspension arm being located between the two transducers that are attached to the plate.

摘要: A freely rotatable micromechanical plate is achieved by employing at least three rotatable plates that are each suspended from a substrate via respective springs, and are coupled via other respective springs to at least three moveable plate attachment points, so that rotation of the rotatable plates about an axis transfers motion to the moveable plate attachment points. Respective posts couple the movement of each respective moveable plate attachment point to a moveable plate. In operation, the rotatable plates may be individually rotated, and the resulting motion of each rotatable plate is passed to its respective moveable plate attachment point. The combined motion of the moveable plate attachment points is passed to the moveable plate via the posts. Using proper control, the plate may be made to tip, tilt and piston. Advantageously, the piston motion may achieve a high vertical movement frequency response.

摘要: An adjustable compound optical microlens apparatus comprises first and second microlenses that are separated from one another along their optical axes. At least one of the microlenses is movable relative to the other. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the stationary microlens, or the positions of at least two movable microlenses relative to one another. In accordance with one embodiment of our invention, an array of such microlens apparatuses is also contemplated, especially for applications such optical switches and routers. In accordance with another embodiment of our invention, the apparatus functions as an optical filter or dispersion compensator. Also described is method of compensating for variations in an optical parameter (e.g., effective focal length) of such an apparatus in an array.

摘要: An electro-mechanical actuator includes a comb drive and a deformable connector. The comb drive has a first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate. The capacitor plates have teeth capable of inter-digitating. The deformable connector is configured to apply a mechanical restoring force to the first capacitor plate. The deformable connector is configured to restore the first capacitor plate to be at an equilibrium rest position in response to no control voltage being applied across the capacitor. The comb drive is more engaged at the equilibrium rest position than at a mechanical stability threshold of the comb drive. The capacitor plates are disengaged at the equilibrium rest position.
