    摘要: A surface-micromachined high-pressure sensor, formed by forming a cavity using a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer can be reflowed to make the edges of the cavity more rounded. The material that is used for the diaphragm can be silicon nitride, or multiple layers including silicon nitride and other materials. The pressure sensor is intended to be used in high pressure applications, e.g. pressure is higher than 6000, 10,000 or 30,000 P.S.I.

    摘要: Embodiments of an implantable electrolytic pump include an electrolysis chamber, a drug chamber and an osmosis chamber, the osmosis chamber having a first portion in contact with the drug chamber and a second portion exposed to facilitate contact with a surrounding fluid. The pump further includes a cannula for conducting liquid from the drug chamber and electrolysis electrodes within the electrolysis chamber for causing generation of a gas therein, the electrolysis and drug chambers being in contact such that gas electrolysis within electrolysis chamber forces fluid from the drug chamber into the cannula, contact between the drug chamber and the osmosis chamber permitting fluid admitted into the osmotic chamber from the surrounding fluid to offset volume loss from the drug chamber and prevent buildup of vacuum pressure thereon.

    摘要: A flexible skin formed of silicon islands encapsulated in a polyimide film. The silicon islands preferably include a MEMS device and are connected together by a polyimide film (preferably about 1–100 μm thick). To create the silicon islands, silicon wafers are etched to a desirable thickness (preferably about 10–500 μm) by Si wet etching and then patterned from the back side by reactive ion etching (RIE).

    摘要: A micromachined hot-wire anemometer having fast response times and higher sensitivities than conventional hot-wire anemometers is provided by micromachining doped polysilicon wires carried on silicon supports cantilevered from a substrate including one or more insulating layers disposed between said substrate and supports. The micromachined polysilicon hot-wire anemometer is fabricated using surface micromachining techniques.A shear stress sensor is micromachined to define a thin diaphragm over a cavity defined in a substrate underlying the diaphragm. The cavity is evacuated, sealed, and a thermistor disposed over the diaphragm. The thermistor is thus thermally insulated from the substrate and provides a low profile shear stress sensor for measuring flow rates in boundary layers above a flow surface.
