Patent ID: 7138893

Claim:
A micro device, comprising: a plurality of fine-structure resonators; and a plurality of electrodes, wherein a voltage is applied to at least one of the plurality of electrodes causing the at least one electrode to exert an electrostatic force on at least one of the plurality of resonators, a signal is transmitted through the at least one resonator when the at least one resonator is caused to contact at least one other of the plurality of resonators, the signal being interrupted when the at least one resonator is caused to separate from the at least one other resonator, a direct current source is input to at least one of the plurality of resonators; and an alternating current source is input to at least one of the plurality of electrodes, and wherein an impedance is matched with a characteristic impedance corresponding to a frequency of an input signal when the plurality of resonators and at least one electrode are caused to contact each other.
