Grand Challenges in Interfacing Engineering With Life Sciences and Medicine

IEEE

2013-02-01

This paper summarizes the discussions held during the First IEEE Life Sciences Grand Challenges Conference, held on October 4-5, 2012, at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, and the grand challenges identified by the conference participants. Despite tremendous efforts to develop the knowledge and ability that are essential in addressing biomedical and health problems using engineering methodologies, the optimization of this approach toward engineering the life sciences and healthcare remains a grand challenge.

Fully integrated, high yielding, high reliability DC contact MEMS switch technology & control IC in standard plastic packages

IEEE

2011-10-28

In this paper we present a fully integrated, high yielding, high reliability DC contact microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch technology. A high voltage double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (DMOS) driver application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is co-packaged with a single-pole-four-throw (SP4T) DC contact MEMS switch in a 5×4×1mm 24-pin quad flat no leads (QFN) plastic package.
