US Patent Issued on Sept. 16 for "Rotational and translational micropositioners using deformable microelectromechanical systems" (Canadian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,418,251, issued on Sept. 16.

"Rotational and translational micropositioners using deformable microelectromechanical systems" was invented by Seyedfakhreddin Nabavi (Montreal), Michael Menard (Verdun, Canada) and Frederic Nabki (Montreal).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have found widespread applications across biotechnology, medicine, communications, and consumer electronics. These are typically one-dimensional MEMS (e.g. rotation, linear translation on a single axis) or two-dimensional MEMS (e.g. linear translation in two directions in the plane of the MEMS). It would be beneficial therefore for desi...
