    Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) that includes a first electro-thermal actuator, a second electro-thermal actuator and a beam having a first side and a second side. The first electro-thermal actuator applies a force to the first side of the beam as current passes through the first electro-thermal actuator and the second electro-thermal actuator applies a force to the second side of the beam as current passes through the second electro-thermal actuator.
