• Medical Device Link . Advances in Motor Technology for the Medical Industry
  . To meet these demands, motor manufacturers have drawn on numerous recent technological advances. A working prototype of a brushless microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gearmotor. The planetary gearhead is approximately 2 mm in diameter. In medical products where actuator reliability is critical...
• Researchers Pioneer Techniques To Lubricate Microdevices
  Until now, scientists couldn't accurately measure the friction that plagues miniature motors, pumps, and gears -- mechanisms that could one day move inside microscopic medical implants in the body, for example. Such devices -- microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) -- contain parts so small...

  microelectromechanical system. Because it's encapsulated, "the only thing that touches the fluid is the chip itself. The chip is disposable,"? Heaton notes. "You sort one patient, you throw [the device] away. There have been cancer trials done with banks of those $400,000 cell-sorting systems...
• Smarter than your average pushbutton
  . However, a new class of inter-faces spawned by miniature accelerometers now give users new ways of making controls more intuitive. Most accelerometers, like those from are capacitive sensors designed using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. MEMS is an integration of mechanical...

• MDL:Micro:September 97: Product Technology News
  Incorporating microelectromechanical system technology, the MEMS-Flow MFC measures only 29 x 25 x 8 mm to provide high-purity control of gas flow rates from 0.1 to 2000 std cm /min. The controller's ceramic modules, which contain microfabricated valves, sensors, and orifices, can be attached...
• Medical Device Link .
  to current estimates, 600 organizations are actively involved in development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. One-quarter of those groups are also pursuing commercial distribution of finished devices or components. Although the global market for MEMS technology is believed...

  with implantable drug delivery systems are among the existing and potential applications that he cites. Detter's confidence in the rapid emergence of microsystems technology (MST) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) as driving forces in device design and fabrication is buttressed by a recent market...
• Hear this: CMOS microphones on a chip
  with similar components made with conventional MEMS ( microelectromechanical systems) techniques. The reason: MEMS transducers typically employ thin-film deposition to create some of their features. The deposition process requires temperatures significantly higher than what the electronics on a CMOS...
