They can respond very rapidly, can occupy a small volume, are lightweight, can handle microscopic devices with finesse, consume little power, and are potentially low cost. This seminar will emphasize micromechanics and MEMS applications. After each topic is discussed, relevant applications will be examined. Questions and discussions from the participants are encouraged. The presentations will be given by W. Trimmer.
Presentations can range from one to six hours, and are non- proprietary.
It is suggested the seminar be held in the morning, leaving the afternoon free for discussions. A typical schedule is given below.
