Effect of noise on the pull-in dynamics of an electrostatic microswitch
The goal of this research is to investigate the effects of noise on the pull-in dynamics of a micro-electromechanical switch. We take into account thermal noise and noise present in the voltage source. Thermal noise is modeled as white noise. First, we study its effect on the linear response of the …

Pulse-field actuation of collinear magnetic single crystals
… A setup of this type could be used in a bistable microswitch, linear motion actuator, or shutter controller where a low actuation stress is sufficient or the electrical contacts required to activate a piezoelectric device are undesirable.

Dynamics and Electrostatics of Membrane Proteins using Polarizable Molecular Dynamics Simulations
… How do conformational changes propagate between microswitches in G-Protein Coupled Receptors? In this work, we show small molecule dipole moments changing as a function of localization in the bilayer. Additionally, we show differences in the free energy surfaces of permeation for aromatic, polar, …

An Analysis of Current Interruption upon the Behavior of Light Bulb Filament during Initial Aircraft Impact in Support of Aircraft Accident Investigations
… of power was accomplished through the use of a microswitch and a solid state relay.</p> <p>It was hypothesized that there would be a noticeable combination of ductile and brittle deformation characteristics in the filaments as the result of these deceleration forces. The filament analysis of the …
