    Abstract: A switch (100) comprises an input contact (121) and at least one output contact (122), a single droplet (130) of conductive liquid located in a channel (120), the droplet (130) being in constant contact with the input contact (121), and a heater (104) configured to heat a gas (135). The heated gas expands to cause the droplet (130) to translate through the channel (120).

    Abstract: A micro-machined nozzle includes a substrate (12) having a hole (14) formed on a first side (12a) that extends partially through a thickness dimension of the substrate (12) and a nozzle orifice (16) formed on a second opposite side (12b) that communicates with the hole (14). The nozzle orifice (16) has at least a portion of its interior wall serrated. A method of fabricating a micro-machined nozzle includes the steps of etching a first side (12a) of a silicon substrate (12) to form a hole (14) that extends partially through a thickness dimension of the substrate (12) and etching a second opposite side (12b) of the silicon substrate (12) to form a serrated nozzle orifice (16) that communicates with the hole (14).
