Title: Coupled memristor devices to enable feedback control and sensing of micro/nanoelectromechanical actuator and sensors

Abstract

A MEMS apparatus with dynamic displacement control includes a MEMS parallel plate capacitor integrated with one or more memristors in a series configuration wherein a displacement is observable as a function of memristance, such that an upper electrode position is capable of being interpreted in a form of a resistance rather than a capacitance. The current is limited by said MEMS parallel plate capacitor restricting a change in the resistance of the memristor(s). The memristor(s) can be employed in some embodiments a sensor element to improve a MEMS operation range.

Optoelectronic memristor devices including one or more solid electrolytes with electrically controllable optical properties

Patent Defferriere, Thomas; Kalaev, Dmitri; Tuller, Harry L.; ...

An optoelectronic memristor includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a solid electrolyte in between that is in electrical communication with the first electrode and the second electrode. The solid electrolyte has an electronic conductivity of about 10⁻¹⁰ Siemens/cm to about 10⁻⁴ Siemens/cm at room temperature. The first electrode, and optionally the second electrode, can be optically transparent at a specific wavelength and/or a wavelength range. A direct current (DC) voltage source is employed to apply an electric field across the solid electrolyte, which induces a spatial redistribution of ionic defects in the solid electrolyte. In turn, this causesmore » « less

Micro environmental sensing device

Patent Polosky, Marc A [Tijeras, NM]; Lukens, Laurance L [Tijeras, NM]

A microelectromechanical (MEM) acceleration switch is disclosed which includes a proof mass flexibly connected to a substrate, with the proof mass being moveable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the substrate in response to a sensed acceleration. An electrode on the proof mass contacts one or more electrodes located below the proof mass to provide a switch closure in response to the sensed acceleration. Electrical latching of the switch in the closed position is possible with an optional latching electrode. The MEM acceleration switch, which has applications for use as an environmental sensing device, can be fabricated using micromachining.
