1. INTRODUCTION Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) are small integrated devices or systems that combine electrical and mechanical components. They range in size from the sub micrometer level to the millimeter level and there can be any number‚ from a few to millions‚ in a particular system. MEMS extend the fabrication techniques developed for the integrated circuit industry to add mechanical elements such as beams‚ gears‚ diaphragms‚ and springs to devices. Examples of MEMS device applications

Abstract “Robot" as an "apparently human automation‚ intelligent but impersonal machine..." A ratbot or roborat is a rat controlled through implants in its brain. Guided rats controlled through implants in their brains could one day be used to search for landmines or buried victims of earthquakes.. An extraordinary experiment has seen researchers steering five rodents - so-called ratbots - through an obstacle course by remote control. Writing in the journal Nature‚ the scientists

The Five Generations of Computing The history of computer development is often referred to in terms of five distinct eras‚ or "generations" of computing devices. Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operate‚ resulting in increasingly smaller‚ cheaper‚ more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices. The First Generation: 1946 to 1955 The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry‚ magnetic drums

Additionally‚ I have translated engineering from motherboards to the realm of nanomaterials and integrated intelligent microsystems. I am now exploring how Nanotechnology could help give millions clean drinking water with my mentor Dr. Sharma. This brought to my notice HydraVita‚ the project that bagged third place in the 2011 Senior Design Project Competition. I have since been researching past and current submissions

is currently ranked the most competitive in world. Although the U.S. position might be replaced by small European countries like Sweden from year to year‚ the American still has a strong presence in the global economy. Future industries‚ like nanotechnology and biotechnology‚ are fields which the U.S. dominates and will continue to do so. With the wide spread adoption of the free market system‚ the U.S. should not be intimidated by its competitors. The U.S. must retain confidences in itself as “higher
