Automated Design Synthesis for Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (mems)

This paper proposes a general architecture for using evolutionary algorithms to achieve MEMS design synthesis. Functional MEMS devices are designed by combining parameterized basic MEMS building blocks together using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs) to produce a pareto optimal set of feasible designs. The iterative design synthesis loop is implemented by combining MOGAs with the SUGAR...

Control-based programming of electro-mechanical controllers

We are developing techniques for model-based constructionof software for computationallycontrolled electromechanical systems, such as photocopiers. These systems are examples of real-time, reactive systems — those that react continuously with their environment at a rate controlled by the environment. Execution in a reactive system proceeds in bursts of activity. In each phase, the environment s...

Carbon-based Nano-electro-mechanical-systems

We provide an overview of our work where carbon-based nanostructures have been applied to twodimensional (2D) planar and three-dimensional (3D) vertically-oriented nano-electro-mechanical (NEM) switches. In the first configuration, laterally oriented single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) synthesized using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were implemented for forming bridge-type 2D NEMS switche...

Analysis and Evaluation for STEP-Based Electro-Mechanical Assemblies

In this paper, we propose an integrated approach to assemblability analysis and evaluation for STEP-based (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data, officially ISO 10303) electro-mechanical products. First, two assembly representational models are brought up and elaborated: the EXPRESS/XML schema-based model and the NIST object-oriented UML-based Open Assembly Model (OAM). Then, these tw...
