    摘要: An improved microelectromechanical switch assembly comprises a linearly movable switch rod constrained via a switch bearing, the switch rod being actuated by electrostatic deflection. Movement of the switch rod to one end of its travel puts the switch assembly in a closed state while movement of the switch rod to the other end of its travel puts the switch assembly in an open state. In an embodiment of the invention, one or both of the switch rod and the switch bearing are fabricated of a carbon nanotube. The improved microelectromechanical switch assembly provides low insertion loss and long lifetime in an embodiment of the invention.

    摘要: The invention provides devices and methods for removing and trapping large and/or dense abrasive particles from a polishing slurry. The polishing slurry is introduced into a container and allowed to stagnate, thereby causing large and/or dense particles to separate from the slurry under the influence of gravity. The container includes a cavity or plurality of cavities defined by an inner surface of the container into which the separated particles sink. To prevent the large and/or dense particles from becoming re-suspended into the slurry, the size and shape of the cavity is relatively deep and narrow with respect to the large and/or dense particles, thus providing a trapping effect. The cavities do not effectively trap the smaller particles.
