Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMs) are Combination of electrical and mechanical components in Micron dimensions. In recent years, holding, actuating methods and handling of MEMs components such as microgripper, microsensors and etc. have been deeply studied. Microgrippers for handling, positioning and assembling of micro components are very useful so that for clamping need actuation create...

The polymer polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) has unique piezoelectric properties favorable for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) applications. In the present research, we conducted nanometer-length scale characterization of this material using several high-resolution techniques. Specifically, we used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to study the ...

With the development of Micro Electro Mechanical System(MEMS), it's application in the fields of biomedical engineering becomes a vital consideration. This paper describes the advantages of Minimally invasive Surgery (MIS) and its applications. A novel medical endoscope driven by micro robot is also introduced.

Micro-electro-mechanical systems or MEMS are used in a variety of today’s technology and can be modeled using equations for nonlinear damped harmonic oscillators. Mathematical expressions have been formulated to determine resonance frequency shifts as a result of hardening and softening effects in MEMS devices. In this work we experimentally test the previous theoretical analysis of MEMS resona...

This review focuses on recent advances in microand nano-fabrication techniques and their applications to electrochemical power devices, specifically microfabricated Lithium-ion batteries, enzymatic and microbial fuel cells (biofuel cells), and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Although the maturity of these three technologies ranges from market ready (batteries) to fundamental research (biofu...

Due to the advances in the Micro-electro-Mechanical systems (MEMS) and low power integrated circuits, digital electronics gave rise to the development of micro sensors (Sohrabi,2000)[12]. In the past few years there was a great research done by Kanchan Verma Dept. of Computer science and engineering, Punjab Institute of Technology (PTU main campus) Kapurthala, (INDIA) E-mail: kanchanverma252@gm...

Electro-osmosis is the flow produced by the action of an electric field on a fluid with a net charge, which is created by the Zeta potential and confined in the Debye layer. This basic phenomenon in the electro-kinetic transport plays an important role in the microfluidic systems being explored today because it can be applied to a variety of MEMS devices. This paper presents global and point-wi...

Widespread acceptance of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) depends highly on their reliability, both for large-volume commercialization and for critical applications. The problem of multiple dependent failure processes is of particular interest to MEMS researchers. For MEMS devices subjected to both wear degradation and random shocks that are dependent and competing, we propose a new reli...
