Introduction Conventional MEMS gyroscopes are miniaturized devices that measure angular velocity. The performance of current MEMS gyroscopes limits them to stabilization applications, due to bias, scale errors and noise. If […]
Creating a fully coupled multiphysics model is one of the holy grails of MEMS modeling. If you can automate the creation of a MEMS model, it opens the door to […]
We are pleased to announce the release of CoventorMP 2.1, which includes MEMS+ 7.1 and CoventorWare 11.1. New features streamline device creation and make simulation results easier to load and […]
Paul A.M. Dirac, an English physicist famous for his work in quantum mechanics, once stated “Pick a flower on Earth and you move the farthest star.” This statement may be […]
The First Computers: Electro-Mechanical Computing The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alain Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built […]
Introduction Genetic algorithms belong to a family of algorithms called “stochastic algorithms”. These algorithms are used to find the optimal solution to a mathematically difficult real-world problem, such as the […]
In any given year, we expect about 16 major earthquakes worldwide, 15 of which are in the magnitude 7 range and one in the magnitude 8.0 range or greater [1]. […]
In a previous blog post published in September 2020, I stated that MEMS microphone demand is being driven by customer-requested audio features such as stereo sound, voice recognition, sound directivity, […]
We are very pleased to announce the release of our latest MEMS design software, CoventorMP® 2.0! With the new release, automated parametric design variation for simulation in both MEMS+® and […]
Transducers 2021 is a prestigious international conference that reviews advances in Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems. At this year’s conference, there were 391 papers presented from 29 different countries with […]
