2014

An integrated sensing module capable of operating at high temperatures would be beneficial to a number of industrial applications, such as automotive industries, aerospace systems, industrial turbines and deep-well drilling telemetric systems. Consider industrial turbines as an example. It is important to monitor a variety of physical parameters within the hot sections of the turbines in order to increase turbine efficiency, reliability and to reduce pollution. In addition, real-time monitoring can help to detect and predict the failures of critical components in a timely fashion to...

1996

Micro-resonators for use in accelerometer applications and polysilicon flexures designed to damp unwanted vibrations of a micro-positioner are two examples of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) that require optimal anchor stiffness and damping properties. This investigation sought to determine how the geometric...

Fabrication and Assembly of a 2.4mm Compressed Gas Rotary Expander

Dorian Liepmann
2005
A 2.4 mm-scale rotary engine has been redesigned, fabricated and partially assembled to operate as a compressed gas expander. The micro-expander is a multilayered stack of bonded components that are fabricated from single crystal silicon using bulk micro-machining techniques. This research is a continuation from previous work initiated by the MEMS Rotary Engine Power System (REPS) research group at UC Berkeley. The goal of the MEMS REPS project is to develop...
