    Abstract: A non-invasive motion and respiration monitor receives impulses from a subject's movement, heartbeat, and respiration. The raw signal is biased and digitized, and a signal processor applies a Fast Fourier Transform to the signal. The transformed signal is filtered to isolate the component representing heart rate from the component representing respiration. An Inverse Fast Fourier Transform is then applied to the component signals, which are sent to a processor. The processor is programmed to detect irregularities in the respiration and heart rate. If severe irregularities or complete cessation is detected in either signal, a mechanical stimulator is actuated to try to stimulate the subject, and an alarm is sounded to alert a caregiver such as a parent or nurse.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a silicon element. A substrate configuration is provided that includes a silicon layer having a first face and a thickness corresponding to a specified thickness of the silicon element to be formed. The configuration includes a layer of an electrically-insulating material located below and adjacent to the silicon layer. A substantially vertical trench is etched from the first face in the silicon layer to a depth that exposes the insulating layer. Then the trench in the silicon layer is exposed to a gaseous environment that is reactive with silicon, to substantially lateral etch the silicon layer preferentially at the depth of the insulating layer along a surface of the insulating layer. This lateral etch is continued for a duration that results in release of a silicon element over the insulating layer. Also provided is a process for etching an angled trench in a silicon layer. Here, a substrate configuration is provided including a first silicon layer having at least one trench etched through the first silicon layer, and layer of an electrically-insulating material located below and adjacent to the silicon layer. The insulating layer includes an aperture that is located at a non-central location with respect to the trench and that corresponds to a prespecified trench angle. Included is a second silicon layer, in which the angled trench is to be formed, below and adjacent to the insulating layer. The trench in the first silicon layer is exposed to a gaseous environment that is reactive with silicon to etch that region of the second silicon layer that is exposed by the aperture in the insulating layer to a selected angled trench depth and prespecified trench angle.
