    摘要: A low temperature batch method for forming and positioning permanent magnets on electromagnetically actuated micro-fabricated components, such as electrical switches employs a first adhesive, such as a Siltem/epoxy blend of an epoxy resin and a siloxane polyimide polymer, to releasably attach a mold layer of Kapton polyimide to a substrate, which may be the movable portion of a micromechanical structure, or a precursor to such movable portion. A well-shape cavity is formed in the mold layer, and filled with a slurry of rare earth NdFeB magnetic particles suspended in a second adhesive, which is cured to form the body of a magnet. The second adhesive is an SPI/epoxy blend, also of an epoxy resin and a siloxane polyimide polymer, but with a greater adhesion strength and a higher temperature softening point compared to the Siltem/epoxy blend. The entire structure is heated, and the mold layer is pulled off the substrate, while the body of magnetic material remains firmly attached. Selective etchants may be subsequently employed to remove metal sacrificial layers, while the NdFeB magnetic particles are protected from attack by the etchant by being effectively encased in plastic.

    摘要: A micromachined electromagnetic switch, including two soft magnets situated in fixed positions above and below a permanent magnet, toggles between two fixed positions by the application of current in an actuator coil for a brief period. The permanent magnet is attached to a micromachined hinge or spring which moves under the action of a net force, thereby opening or closing the switch. Current in the actuator coil changes the relative strength of the magnetic forces due to the soft magnets. In the absence of current in the actuator coil, the switch is kept in the open or closed position by the attractive magnetic force between the permanent magnet and either the upper or lower soft magnet, whereby the stronger force is exercised between the permanent magnet and the nearest soft magnet.

    摘要: A circuit interruption device having a plurality of micromechanical switches mounted on a substrate in a parallel-series array. The array includes a plurality of line branches connected in parallel in a circuit line. Each of the line branches has at least two of the switches serially connected therein. The micromechanical switches each has a pair of contacts formed on the substrate, a bridging contact movably formed on the substrate, and an actuator for causing the bridging contact to move in and out of contact with the contacts. The bridging contact can be either a member slidably disposed in a channel formed on the substrate or member attached to an end of a cantilever having its other end attached to the substrate. The actuator is controlled by a trip device which is also mounted on the substrate. The trip device senses the current in the circuit line and causes the switches to open when a predetermined level of current in the line is exceeded.

Insulative cladding containing a gap and having a lower refractive index than the refractive indices of the first and second waveguides is situated between the first and second waveguides. One electrode comprising an at least partially transparent material is situated on the same side of the gap as the second waveguide. An additional electrode is provided either on the same side of the gap as the first waveguide or over a piezoelectric strip above a cladding layer on the second waveguide. At least one of the electrodes is capable of being advanced towards the other of the electrodes so as to cause one of the first and second waveguides to advance towards the other of the first and second waveguides.
