摘要:
Micro capacitive switches and methods of manufacturing micro capacitive switches at variable nominal capacitance value using micro-structures on the contact plates of the same dimension. In a preferred embodiment, a separately manufactured contact plate can be mounted to a movable magnet in order to be actuated to “on” and “off” state of the capacitive switch. Depending on the contact plate's surface condition, variable contact capacitance at “on” state can be precisely specified by geometrical properties of the micro-structures on the surface, such as the density, size and depth.

Frequency addressable micro-actuators having one or more movable resonating elements actuators, such as cantilevers, can be forced into oscillation by, e.g., electromagnetic actuation. The movable structure is designed to latch at a certain amplitude using one of several latching techniques, such as a near-field magnetic field. In operation, the movable element is driven into resonance, producing a large amplitude, which results in the structure latching. Through resonance, a small force applied in a repeating manner can result in the latching of the actuator, an operation which would normally require a large force. If two or more units, each with different harmonic frequencies, are placed under the same influence, only the one with a harmonic response to the driving force will latch. A single influencing signal may be used to latch more than one device on demand by tuning the frequency to match the natural frequency of the device of interest.

A method for providing environmental monitoring of an item with an electronic system includes the steps of operating the electronic system in a deep-sleep mode at a minimal level of power consumption by disabling operation of nonessential portions of the electronic system; activating the electronic system at a monitoring rate to sense an environmental parameter to which the item is subjected; sensing a value of the environmental parameter to which the item is subjected; comparing the sensed environmental parameter with the value of the environmental parameter just previously sensed to derive a rate of change of the environmental parameter; adjusting the monitoring rate to track the rate of change of the environmental parameter; storing the value of the sensed environmental parameter; and returning the electronic system to the deep-sleep mode.
