Abstract: Il est proposé un dispositif comprenant un groupement de capteurs (12) et une multiplicité de lignes de bus, chaque capteur étant électriquement connecté à une ligne de bus respective et comprenant une multiplicité respective de groupes de cellules de capteur micro-usiné, les groupes de cellules de capteur d'un capteur particulier étant électriquement reliés l'un à l'autre par la ligne de bus à laquelle est connecté ce capteur, chaque groupe de cellules de capteur comprenant une multiplicité respective de cellules de capteur micro-usiné (12) qui sont électriquement connectées l'une à l'autre et ne peuvent pas être déconnectées l'une de l'autre par commutation, le dispositif comprenant en outre des moyens pour isoler n'importe lequel des groupes de cellules de capteur d'avec sa ligne de bus associée et en réponse au fait que l'une quelconque des cellules de capteur micro-usiné de ce groupe de cellules de capteur est court-circuitée à la masse. Dans une mise en oeuvre, les moyens d'isolement comprennent une multiplicité de fusibles. Dans une autre mise en oeuvre, les moyens d'isolement comprennent une multiplicité de modules de protection contre les courts-circuits, chaque module comprenant un circuit de mesure d'intensité et un interrupteur d'isolement électrique.

Abstract: A novel micro optical system as a platform technology for electrical and optical interconnections, thermal and mechanical assembly and integration of electronic, optoelectronic, passive and active components. This platform provides optical coupling and chip-to-chip interconnection by microwave electrical, optical guided and unguided waves, and power or bias electrical contacts or interfaces by a novel chip in flexible circuit, rigid or inflexible embodiments.

Abstract: A digital data detector (27) is part of the primary side control electronics in a high voltage integrated circuit for regulating a power supply secondary side output potential; the detector output (27a) is responsive to the transitions of digital error data received from the supply secondary side via an electrically-isolated data transmission means. Only the transition edges are utilized by the detector, so that any non-linearity after each transition of the transmission means is immaterial. If the isolation device is a pulse transformer (17), the transformer core can be of relatively small volume, as full-pulse reproduction is unimportant and pulse saturation is tolerable. A multiplexer (33) allows the primary side control electronics to initiate power supply operation; control is switched to the secondary side responsive to signal edges therefrom being detected by the digital data detector.

Abstract: A MEMS switch (30, 50, 60, 70, 80) includes a substrate (32), a movable actuator (53, 63, 83) coupled to the substrate (32), a substrate contact (35 , 85), a substrate electrode (36, 56, 86), and a conductive stopper (39, 59, 69, 79) electrically coupled to the movable actuator (33, 63, 83) and structured to prevent the movable actuator (33, 63, 83) from contacting the substrate electrode (36, 56, 86) while allowing the movable actuator (33, 63, 83) to make contact with the substrat e contact (35, 85).

Abstract: An electrical through-connection, or via, that passes through a substrate (2 2) to a bus (28) on a first surface (21) of the substrate (22). The via may be configured with an interlock (46) such that the electrically conductive core (60) of th e via is constrained to thermally expand towards the second surface (23), away from t he bus (28), thus preventing damage to the bus (28). The interlock (46) may be a local constriction or enlargement of the via near the first surface (21) of the substrate (22). The via may be greater in length along the bus (28) than a unit spacing of beams (30) in a parallel microswitch array (20) actuated in unison along the bus (28). The via may be narrower in width than in length, and may form a trapezoidal geometry that is larger at the second surface (23) of the substrate (22) than at the first surface (21).

Abstract: Multiple microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) on a substrate (20) are capped with a cover (28) using a layer that may function as a bonding agent, separation layer, and hermetic seal. A substrate (20) has a first side (20A) with multiple MEMS devices. A cover (28) is formed with through-holes (40) for vi as (40), and with standoff posts (34) for layer registration and separation. An adhesive sheet (42) is patterned with cutouts (44) for the MEMS devices, vias (40), a nd standoff posts (34). The adhesive sheet (42) is tacked to the cover (28), th en placed on the mems substrate (20) and heated to bond the layers. The via holes (40) may be metalized with leads for circuit board (58) connection. The mems units (22) may be diced from the substrate (20) after sealing, thus protecting them from contaminants.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical system, MEMS, current sensor is described as including a first conductor, a magnetic field shaping component (5) for shaping a magnetic field (20) produced by a current (I) in the first conductor, and a MEMS-based magnetic field sensing component (25) including a magneto-MEMS component (30) for sensing the shaped magnetic field and, in response thereto, providing an indication (80) of the current in the first conductor. A method for sensing a current using MEMS is also described as including shaping a magnetic field produced with a current in a first conductor, sensing the shaped magnetic field with a MEMS-based magnetic field sensing component having a magneto-MEMS component magnetic field sensing circuit, and providing an indication of the current in the first conductor.
