Abstract: Lockable microelectromechanical actuators include a microelectromechanical
actuator, a thermoplastic material that is coupled to the microelectromechanical
actuator to lock the microelectromechanical actuator, and a heater that melts the
thermoplastic material to allow movement of the microelectromechanical actuator.
When the thermoplastic material solidifies, movement of the microelectromechanical
actuator can be locked, without the need to maintain power, in the form of electrical,
magnetic and/or electrostatic energy, to the microelectromechanical actuator, and
without the need to rely on mechanical friction to hold the microelectromechanical
actuator in place. Thus, the thermoplastic material can act as a glue to hold structures
in a particular position without the need for continuous power application. Moreover,
it has been found unexpectedly, that the thermoplastic material can solidify rapidly
enough to lock the microelectromechanical actuator at or near its most recent position.
