A scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides real-time imaging with nanometer
resolution and a large scanning area, which enables the development and integration of …

Microchannels are currently being used in many areas and have high potential for
applications in many other areas, which are considered realistic by experts. The application …

Since the beginning of the nineties, shape memory alloys (SMA) have become available for
microsystems technology. Currently the breadth of research and development activities on …

Genetically engineered elastin-like polypeptides consisting of Val-Pro-Gly-X-Gly repeats,
where X was chosen to be Lys every 7 or 17 pentapeptides (otherwise X was Val), were …

In this paper we present an efficient and effective method of using surrogate approximations
to explore the design space and capture the Pareto frontier during multiobjective …

As our knowledge of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) continues to grow, so does
The MEMS Handbook. The field has changed so much that this Second Edition is now …

The importance of force sensing technologies was recognized in the 1970s. Since then,
multidimensional microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)/micro force/moment (F/M) …

A size-dependent structural dynamic model that incorporates the effect of geometric
nonlinearity is developed in this paper for the forced vibration and dynamic stability of thin …

Actual endoscopes and boroscopes, widely used in industry and in minimal invasive
surgery, have considerable limitations, mainly due to their low number of degrees of …

In order to build a tilt sensor having a desired sensitivity and measuring range, one should
select an appropriate type, orientation, and initial position of an accelerometer. Various …
