Abstract

This work demonstrates a polycrystalline silicon surface-micromachined inchworm actuator that exhibits high-performance characteristics such as large force ([+ or -] 0.5 millinewtons), large velocity range (0 to [+ or -] 4.4 mm/sec), large displacement range ([+ or -] 100 microns), small step size ([+ or -] 10, [+ or -] 40 or [+ or -] 100 nanometers), low power consumption (nanojoules per cycle), continuous bidirectional operation and relatively small area (600 x 200[micro][m.sup.2]). An in situ load spring calibrated on a logarithmic scale from micronewtons to millinewtons, optical microscopy and Michelson interferometry are used to characterize its performance. The actuator consists of a force-amplifying plate that spans two voltage-controlled clamps, and walking is achieved by appropriately sequencing signals to these three components. In the clamps, normal force is borne by equipotential rubbing counterfaces, enabling friction to be measured against load. Using different monolayer coatings, we show that the static coefficient of friction can be changed from 0.14 to 1.04, and that it is load-independent over a broad range. We further find that the static coefficient of friction does not accurately predict the force generated by the actuator and attribute this to nanometer-scale presliding tangential deflections.

32. Advertencia: Florida Silent on Duty to Warn in Spanish.

Author

Fuente, Jaret J. and Luck, David L.

Subjects
*WARNING label policy, *LABELING laws, *CONSUMER law, *CONSUMER protection, *HISPANIC American consumers, *PRODUCT liability, *PRODUCT safety policy
Abstract

The authors examines the lack of state-court case law in Florida on the issue of whether product manufacturers and sellers have the responsibility to warn in Spanish. An overview of Florida's increasing Hispanic and Latino population is provided. The state does not require manufacturers or sellers to warn in Spanish or in any language other than English. The case of Farias v. Mr. Heater Inc. is discussed including the court's ruling that there is no general common-law duty to warn in Spanish.
