    摘要: A method for fabricating VHF and/or UHF quartz resonators (for higher sensitivity) in a cartridges design with the quartz resonators requiring much smaller sample volumes than required by conventional resonators, and also enjoying smaller size and more reliable assembly. MEMS fabrication approaches are used to fabricate with quartz resonators in quartz cavities with electrical interconnects on a top side of a substrate for electrical connection to the electronics preferably through pressure pins in a plastic module. An analyte is exposed to grounded electrodes on a single side of the quartz resonators, thereby preventing electrical coupling of the detector signals through the analyte. The resonators can be mounted on the plastic cartridge or on arrays of plastic cartridges with the use of inert bonding material, die bonding or wafer bonding techniques. This allows the overall size, cost, and required biological sample volume to be reduced while increasing the sensitivity for detecting small mass changes.

    摘要: An on-chip navigation system, optionally combined with GPS (Global Positioning System) and/or an imaging array, which incorporates MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) components is possible by the use of careful material selection and novel bonding techniques used during fabrication. The use of MEMS components permits many of the components of a typical inertial navigation system to reside on a single chip. Because the components are in close proximity, the components can then be used to monitor the environmental changes of the chip, such as temperature and vibration, and correct for the resulting offsets of other components. This allows improved system performance even if the individual sensor components are not ideal.
