The invention provides a method and apparatus for evaluating the product quality and performances of micromirror array devices through measurements of the electromechanical responses of the individual micromirrors to the driving forces of electric fields. The electromechanical responses of the micromirrors according to the present invention are described in terms of the rotational angles associated with the operational states, such as the ON and OFF state angles of the ON and OFF state when the micromirror array device is operated in the binary-state mode, and the response speed (i.e. the time interval required for a micromirror device to transit form one state to another) of the individual micromirrors to the driving fields.

An animal product sampling device comprises a well arranged, in use, to collect fluid flowing through a fluid tube connected to the well, a drain, one end of which is connected to the well, which is arranged such that, in use, fluid from the well may pass to the fluid tube connected to the well, and a sample tube arranged, in use, to draw fluid from a zone of fluid of minimal turbulence within the well. The device is arranged such that, in use, the zone of fluid of minimal turbulence, from which a sample of fluid can be drawn through the sample tube, is created in the device due to the dimensions of the well and the drain. There is further provided an animal product sample transportation device and an animal product sample collecting device.

The present invention discloses a synchronization method that synchronized the operations of the functional modules with the source signal to be processed. The synchronization is achieved through an intermediate reference signal generated form a master synchronization module. The intermediate reference signal is synchronized to the source signal, while the operations of the functional modules are synchronized with the intermediate reference signal. In this way, the operations of the functional modules can be successfully isolated from the source signal to be processed. In an embodiment of the invention, the synchronization uses interrupt signals.

The present invention provides a microstructure device comprising multiple substrates with the components of the device formed on the substrates. In order to maintain uniformity of the gap between the substrates, a plurality of pillars is provided and distributed in the gap so as to prevent decrease of the gap size. The increase of the gap size can be prevented by bonding the pillars to the components of the microstructure. Alternatively, the increase of the gap size can be prevented by maintaining the pressure inside the gap below the pressure under which the microstructure will be in operation. Electrical contact of the substrates on which the micromirrors and electrodes are formed can be made through many ways, such as electrical contact areas, electrical contact pads and electrical contact springs.

Disclosed herein are a system and apparatus for operating a device that comprises an array of micromirrors. The system and apparatus are usable for repairing stuck micromirrors of the micromirror array during the operation. The reparation applies, at the ON state, two consecutive refresh voltages to the mirror plates of the micromirrors in the array with the pulses being separated in time longer than the characteristic oscillation time of the micromirrors. The reparation can be applied independently to the micromirrors. Alternatively, the reparation can be incorporated with a bias inversion process.
