The Vestibular Dynamic Inclinometer (VDI) is a sensor motivated bu the human vesitbular system that is made up of two MEMS linear accelerometers and one MEMS gyroscope. The VDI measures dynamic inclination parameters – inclination, angular velocity, angular acceleration and magnitude of acceleration of the base/surface of contact (gravity). http://tinyurl.com/visheshresearch Duration : 0:2:18
MEMS have many applications and are found in an increasingly large number of products. These are just a few of the areas that integrate MEMS for greater functionality, reliability, and portability. Duration : 0:1:2
This video shows the surface computed from the raw interferograms. The resulting height is in radians of phase at the interferometer’s laser’s wavelength of 633 nm. The purpose of the poke test is to determine the amount of deformation in the surface for a given applied actuator voltage. The actuator displacement force is electrostatic and [...]
Handheld, multi-axis camera stabilization device utilizing MEMS gyro sensors (U.S. Patent 7,642,741, additional patent pending) In the field of motion picture photography, camera stabilization devices are used to isolate the camera from the natural body movements of the operator, while providing fluid maneuverability across a set. The purpose of this project is to design, build and optimize [...]

Prototype of single optical fiber actuator for large (1000+) arrays to intercept individual star/galaxy images in telescope image plane for spectroscopy analysis. Each actuator covers a 19mm hexagonal area and can move the fiber in that area without interferring with neighboring actuators using R-Theta axis arrangement controlled by miniature stepper gearmotors. Only radial axis shown [...]
