    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward an apparatus with a rotatable MEMS device. The apparatus may include a magnetic circuit with two magnets disposed opposite each other to produce a magnetic field between the magnets. The MEMS device may be placed in a frame disposed between the magnets. The MEMS device may include a driving coil disposed around the device, and may be rotatable around a first axis of the frame, in response to application of electromagnetic force produced by interaction of electric current to pass through the driving coil, with the magnetic field. The frame may include another driving coil, and may be rotatable around a second axis orthogonal to first axis, in response to application of electromagnetic force produced by interaction of electric current to pass through the second driving coil, with the magnetic field. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A device for converting the kinetic energy of molecules into useful work includes an actuator configured to move within a fluid or gas due to collisions with the molecules of the fluid or gas. The actuator has dimensions that subject it to the Brownian motion of the surrounding molecules. The actuator utilizes objects having multiple surfaces where the different surfaces result in differing coefficients of restitution. The Brownian motion of surrounding molecules produce molecular impacts with the surfaces. Each surface then experiences relative differences in transferred energy from the kinetic collisions. The sum effect of the collisions produces net velocity in a desired direction. The controlled motion can be utilized in a variety of manners to perform work, such as generating electricity or transporting materials.

    Abstract: An apparatus used in a fuze device, which includes a MEMS micro-rotor. The micro-rotor of the apparatus may move an explosive material, for example, a fuze material, from an out-of-line position to an in-line position. The micro-rotor includes an integral cavity in which the material may be safely loaded and held in the out-of-line position. At an appropriate time, the fuze device of a fully assembled ordnance may be armed. When the apparatus is activated, the micro-rotor carefully moves the explosive material to the in-line position, where the ordnance is armed.

    Abstract: A micromachine switch switches an electrical connection between signal electrodes in accordance with control signals. The micromachine switch includes a substrate, a rotating body provided on the substrate, and a movable electrode provided on the rotating body. The micromachine switch also includes a first signal electrode, one end of which is electrically connected to one end of the movable electrode, and a second signal electrode provided near the rotating body to be positioned such that a rotation of the rotating body causes the second signal electrode to be electrically connected to another end of the movable electrode. Further, a drive section causes, based on a first control signal, the rotating body to rotate until the movable electrode and the second signal electrode are electrically connected, and causes, based on a second control signal, the rotating body to rotate until the movable electrode and the second signal electrode are disconnected.

    Abstract: A radial turbomolecular vacuum pump that includes a rotor made from a silicon rotor surface comprising monolithically fabricated micro blades, and a stator made from a silicon stator surface comprising corresponding monolithically fabricated grooves. The micro blades and grooves are arranged in multiple rings, and the rotor and stator disks are placed in proximity, creating interdigitated stator and rotor blade rings. The interdigitated stator and rotor blade rings form a multi-stage compression in the radial direction.

    Abstract: To manufacture a micro structure and an electric circuit included in a micro electro mechanical device over the same insulating surface in the same step. In the micro electro mechanical device, an electric circuit including a transistor and a micro structure are integrated over a substrate having an insulating surface. The micro structure includes a structural layer having the same stacked-layer structure as a layered product of a gate insulating layer of the transistor and a semiconductor layer provided over the gate insulating layer. That is, the structural layer includes a layer formed of the same insulating film as the gate insulating layer and a layer formed of the same semiconductor film as the semiconductor layer of the transistor. Further, the micro structure is manufactured by using each of conductive layers used for a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode of the transistor as a sacrificial layer.
