Claim Text:
1. An in-plane actuated resonant device, comprising: a support comprising an approximately plane surface; a beam forming a resonator having a first beam end anchored to said approximately plane surface via a first anchor such that a remaining portion of the beam is suspended from the support and configured to move parallel to the approximately plane surface of the support; and an actuating device configured to activate the beam to enable displacement parallel to the approximately plane surface of the support, wherein the actuation device comprises at least one suspended element having a first element end anchored to said approximately plane surface via a second anchor such that a remaining portion of the element is suspended from the support and anchored to one of lateral faces of the beam, such that the suspended element is configured to move when a control voltage is applied to the suspended element to cause displacement of the remaining portion of the beam.
