Where do I encounter microelectromechanical systems in daily life?
Solution
VerifiedMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS, also written as micro-electro-mechanical, MicroElectroMechanical or microelectronic and microelectromechanical systems and the related micromechatronics) is the technology of very small devices; it merges at the nano-scale into nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanotechnology.
Some common commercial applications of MEMS include:
Inkjet printers, which use piezoelectrics or thermal bubble ejection to deposit ink on paper.
Accelerometers in modern cars for a large number of purposes including airbag deployment and electronic stability control.
Silicon pressure sensors e.g., car tire pressure sensors, and disposable blood pressure sensors.
Displays e.g., the digital micromirror device (DMD) chip in a projector based on DLP technology, which has a surface with several hundred thousand micromirrors or single micro-scanning-mirrors also called microscanners.
Optical switching technology, which is used for switching technology and alignment for data communications. Fluid acceleration such as for micro-cooling.
