This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of technologies for the design and fabrication of MEMS micro-mirrors. We discuss the major design issues, considerations, calculations and restrictions of micro mirrors. The materials employed for the reflective surfaces are described along with their properties. The materials used for the static and dynamic MEMS micro structures as well as the differe...

in this study, effect of irrigation duration on concentration of some macro and micro nutrient elements in ‘thompson navel’ orange leaves grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated as a factorial experiment in completely randomized block design. factors included rootstocks in three levels (poncirus trifoliata, citrus aurantium and troyer citrange (citrus sinensis ´ poncitus trifoliata)) and irri...

Micro-scale devices based on the Stirling cycle are an attractive choice for chipand board-level electronics. A new Stirling cycle micro-refrigeration system composed of arrays of silicon MEMS cooling elements has been designed. COMSOL is used to evaluate the thermal performance of the system. Simulation of compressible flow and heat transfer with a large deformed mesh has been successfully imp...

Food microstructure represents the way their elements arrangement and their interaction. Researchers in this field benefit from identifying new methods of examination of the microstructure and analysing the images. Experiments were undertaken to study micro-structural changes of food material during drying. Micro-structural images were obtained for potato samples of cubical shape at different m...

New and novel sensing schemes require optical functions with unconventional spatial light distributions, as well as complex spectral functionality. Micro-optical elements have shown some flexibility in their ability to spatially encode phase information using surface relief dielectrics. In this paper, we present a novel optical component that exploits the properties of optically resonant struct...

We simulate the dynamic and temperature depen dent behavior of two di erent Micro Electro Mechanical Systems MEMS by utilizing recently developed par allel codes which enable a coupling of length scales The novel techniques used in this simulation accurately model the behavior of the mechanical components of MEMS down to the atomic scale by combining the power of an atomistic simulation with th...

In this paper, we present an approach to design MOEMS based on Reconfigurable Free Space Micro-Optical Benches (RFS-MOB). The proposed concept enables to design modular and reconfigurable MOEMS by using a generic structure of silicon holders and non defined position in the substrate. Various micro-optical elements, e.g. microlenses or micromirrors, can be integrated within holders. Their assemb...

With the aim of detecting the attitude of a rotating carrier, the paper presents a novel, digital angular rate sensor. The sensor consists of micro-sensing elements (gyroscope and accelerometer), signal processing circuit and micro-processor (DSP2812). The sensor has the feature of detecting three angular rates of a rotating carrier at the same time. The key techniques of the sensor, including ...

This paper presents the formulation, validation, and application of a spectral/hp algorithm for numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes and heat/scalar transport equations in arbitrarily moving complex geometries. The new spectral element algorithm is based on the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation and utilizes modal expansion of Jacobi polynomials in mixed triangular and quadrilateral e...
