| Microelectromechanical systems devices have been very successful in their widespread adoption across many industries. They have been used in accelerometers, gyroscopes, microphones and sensors. The problem with the current technology is it requires higher drive amplitudes which requires more power. This reduces the ability to utilize batteries for power for mobile applications. Another issue is the time delay. The current technology has a time delay that limits the resonant frequency which is a big limitation because most need to operate in a higher frequency. There is a clear need for a new technology that solves these issues. Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new technology that can produce a saddle-node bifurcation behavior in a high resonant frequency. This approach uses a diode-based piecewise-linear electromechanical resonator. This approach was decided on because it greatly minimizes the time delay. This means the whole process will be more efficient overall. This new technology is also low cost and allows for scalability for future improvements on it. This new technology could open the door for how circuits are designed using electromechanical resonators. Advantages: -Minimizes time delay -Low cost -Scalable Potential Applications: -Microelectromechanical systems -Circuits |
