They are particularly characterized by a very simple fabrication technology and good high frequency performance. A prototype being 5*5*lmm/sup 3/ in size reached with methanol a zero load pump rate of more than 300 /spl mu/l/min and a maximum pump pressure of about 7 kPa at 5 kHz working frequency. Dynamic micropumps can, therefore, compete with known solutions of similar or even bigger size. The direction-dependent behaviour of silicon microdiffusers have been experimentally investigated; the results are discussed. Based on the found characteristics, a static model for dynamic membrane pumps has been derived. The calculated parameters match quite well the real values of different tested micropumps. By the static model, pump layout adapted to the demanded application becomes easier.","PeriodicalId":273283,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. 1995","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132212012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such a device a slider head assembly is flying above the rotating disk with a typical spacing of 100nm. Possible mechanical interactions between the slider and the disk are expected to produce impact forces in the order of 0.1N with a frequency range from 100kHz to 100MHz [1].","PeriodicalId":273283,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. 1995","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129756399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the application of balanced multi- phase high voltage in the 200Vptp to 2kVptp range to a series of encased parallel electrodes with a cen- ter-to-center pitch length of 400pm, particles on a thin protecting and insulating film become charged and are conveyed by the created traveling field.

Miu","doi":"10.1109/MEMSYS.1995.472562","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/MEMSYS.1995.472562","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION The goal of this project is t o demonstrate that a collection of micro-machined actuators can control a macro object, provided that a proper controlling mechanism exists. In our case, we intend t o use a linear array of out-of-plane magnetic actuators t o crea te a rolling moment on a tail-less delta-wing model, utilizing a known mechanism in delta-wing theory that allows micro actuation to have an amplified, macro effect. A delta-wing is one of the fundamental configurations for generating lift forces and its aerodynamic control is of great importance t o the aeronautics society [1,2]. When laminar air flow hits the two leading edges of the wing at a certain angle-of-attack (30\" in our case, Fig. la,b), two counter-rotating leading-edge vortices are separated from the laminar flow and propagate over the wing's top (Fig. IC). These two high-momentum, low-pressure vortices contribute identical vortex lifting forces on the two sides of the wing, the sum of these being -40 % of the total lifting forces. The strength and position of these two vortices are determined by the boundary layer conditions near their separation points. A boundary layer is roughly 1-2 mm thick at a windtunnel flow speed of less than 20 m/s; the thickness will decrease when the flow speed is increased. Two linear arrays of surface micro-machined out-ofplane actuators (micro-flaps) are placed along two leading edges at the bottom of the wing (Fig. Id) . When un-deflected, flap arrays remain a t the bottom of the boundary layer, having no effect on the flow and vortices; when one array is deflected downward, however, it interacts with the boundary layer and changes the separation point of the corresponding leading-edge vortex. The span-wise vortex structures over the top of the wing become unbalanced, and an overall rolling moment can be created. The delta-wing has a 38-cm span and a 67 O top angle; it is tested in a wind-tunnel with a top speed of 20 m/s. Silicon micro-machined actuators are chosen here because of their added advantages of light weight and potentially large bandwidth. To control this wing, micro-flaps are required to deflect 1-2 mm out-of-plane (or t o match the boundary-layer thickness), and withstand large aerodynamic loading on the order of several hundred pN. Magnetic actuation is used because it is known to generate stronger and longer-range forces [3, 4, 51 compared with most other driving methods. Several types of magnetic micro-actuators have been previously demonstrated, but none can readily fulfill the current system requirements. Beneck et . al. [6] performed post-processing manual attachments of permanent magnet pieces on micromachined plates and actuated the magnet with an external magnetic field generated by in-plane coils. The manual assembly is unsuitable for us because a large number of ac-","PeriodicalId":273283,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. 1995","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130843307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
