Abstract | A new optical method for characterizing the performance of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is described that is significantly faster and simpler than previously described optical methods. The method uses video imaging under continuous illumination to effectively remove the upper limit imposed by other methods on the frequency of motions that can be measured. It can be used to measure the motions of any visible structure, whether or not an electrical or optical sensor for that motion has been incorporated. The magnitude of the displacement of a target, such as the edge of a sinusoidally vibrating shuttle mass, is obtained from a single frame of video taken during motion plus a reference frame taken when the target is at rest. The speed of this technique facilitates hands-on testing of prototypes and is especially attractive for production environments. An automated MEMS microresonator testbed is described that performs on-line resonance curve parameter extractions of resonant frequency (f/sub 0/) and quality factor (Q) from electrical measurements, which are derived from output comb-drive current measurements using established methods, and from simultaneous optical measurements using the new method. Results obtained using these methods for design evaluation of microfabricated lateral resonators are discussed, and favorable benchmark comparisons of the optical results with results from a MEMS testbed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
