    摘要: NEMS (Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems) apparatuses are described. By applying a static electric field, an arm or beam in a NEMS apparatus is made to bend so that one electrical conductor is made to contact another electrical conductor, thereby closing the NEMS apparatus. Some apparatus embodiments make use of electrostatic coupling to cause the arm or beam to bend, and some apparatus embodiments make use of piezoelectric materials to cause the arm or beam to bend. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A microfluidic embedded nanoelectromechanical system (NEMs) force sensor provides an electrical readout. The force sensor contains a deformable member that is integrated with a strain sensor. The strain sensor converts a deformation of the deformable member into an electrical signal. A microfluidic channel encapsulates the force sensor, controls a fluidic environment around the force sensor, and improves the read out. In addition, a microfluidic embedded vacuum insulated biocalorimeter is provided. A calorimeter chamber contains a parylene membrane. Both sides of the chamber are under vacuum during measurement of a sample. A microfluidic cannel (built from parylene) is used to deliver a sample to the chamber. A thermopile, used as a thermometer is located between two layers of parylene.

    摘要: A parametric feedback oscillator includes a resonator which has at least one transduction element and at least one electromechanical resonating element. The resonator is configured to accept as input a parametric excitation signal at a frequency 2ω0 and to provide a resonating output signal at a frequency ω0. A cascaded feedback path in any electrically coupled cascade order includes at least one non-linear element, at least one phase shifter electrically, and at least one amplifier. The cascade feedback path is configured to receive as input the resonating output signal at a frequency ω0 and configured to provide as output a feedback path signal as the parametric excitation signal at a frequency 2ω0 to the resonator. A parametric feedback oscillator output terminal is configured to provide the resonating output signal at the frequency ω0 as an output signal. A method of causing a parametric feedback oscillation is also described.

    摘要: Microcalorimeters having low addendum heat capacities and attojoule/Kscale resolutions are provided. These microcalorimeters make use of very small calorimeter bodies composed of materials with very low heat capacities. Also provided are polymer-based microcalorimeters with thermally isolated reagent chambers. These microcalorimeters use a multi-layered polymer membrane structure to provide improved thermal isolation of a reagent chamber.
