2. Miniature snap-action switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_snap-action_switch

   Comparison of some different switches. A miniature snap-action switch, also trademarked and frequently known as a micro switch or microswitch, is an electric switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping-point mechanism, sometimes called an "over-center" mechanism.

3. MEMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS

   MEMS microcantilever resonating inside a scanning electron microscope Proposal submitted to DARPA in 1986 first introducing the term "microelectromechanical systems". MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts.

4. Radio-frequency microelectromechanical system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_micro...

   A capacitive fixed-fixed beam RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(a), is in essence a micro-machined capacitor with a moving top electrode, which is the beam. It is generally connected in shunt with the transmission line and used in X- to W-band (77 GHz and 94 GHz) RF MEMS components. An ohmic cantilever RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(b), is ...

5. Switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

   Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (a float switch), the turning of a key , linear or rotary movement (a limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch). Many switches are operated automatically by ...

6. Microoptoelectromechanical systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microoptoelectromechanical...

   MOEMS includes a wide variety of devices, for example optical switch, optical cross-connect, tunable VCSEL, microbolometers. These devices are usually fabricated using micro-optics and standard micromachining technologies using materials like silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride and gallium arsenide.

7. Vibrator (electronic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrator_(electronic)

   Since vibrators were typically plugged into sockets mounted directly on the radio chassis, the vibration could potentially be mechanically coupled to the chassis, causing it to act as a sounding-board for the noise. To prevent this, the sound-deadening lining inside the can was sometimes made thick enough to support the vibrator's components by ...
