A Self-Retracting Fully-Compliant Bistable Micromechanism
… is to present a class of Self-Retracting Fully-compliant Bistable Micromechanisms (SRFBM). Fully-compliant mechanisms are needed to overcome the inherent limitations of microfabricated pin joints, especially in bistable mechanisms. The elimination of the clearances associated with pin …

Fully Compliant Tensural Bistable Mechanisms (FTBM) with On-Chip Thermal Actuation
<p>The Fully compliant Tensural Bistable Mechanism (FTBM) class is introduced. The class consists of fully compliant linear bistable mechanisms that achieve much of their displacement and bistable behavior through tension loading of compliant segments. Multiple topologies of designs arising from …

Monitoring places of deprivation of liberty in South Africa: Is South Africa in breach of its OPCAT obligations to establish and maintain an effective national preventative mechanism?
… pre-existing oversight bodies that are not all fully compliant with the requirements of the OPCAT, as well as non-compliance with the NPM's recommendations, have vitiated the effectiveness of South Africa's NPM. It also observes that, more than three years since the NPM was launched, many issues …

'UK Marine Protected Areas: Powerful legal protection or paper parks?’
… ‘every MPA is unique’; making it difficult to fully evaluate their effectiveness. Much of the literature on MPAs evaluates their success or failure from a scientific perspective. It does not evaluate whether the success or failure in their designation and management is a reflection of their …

A Compliant Threshold Acceleration Sensor Integrated with Radio Frequency Identifiable Tags
Fully compliant bistable mechanisms have been proposed to be used as threshold accelerometers. The advantages to using these devices are that they require no external power to operate and maintain their sensing state. Using this characteristic the devices can be integrated with passive radio …

Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Behavior of Bistable Micromechanisms
Compliant bistable micromechanisms have been proposed for use in applications such as switches, relays, shutters, and sensing arrays. Unpublished laboratory testing suggests that off-axis forces may affect the bistable nature of fully compliant bistable micromechanisms (FCBMs). The actuation forces …
