  • Abstract
    This paper discusses two applications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The first involves the design, fabrication and control of electrostatic microactuators for dual-stage servo systems in magnetic disk drives. The second involves the design and control of electrostatic oscillatory Z-axis microgyroscopes for measuring out-of-plane angular rotation.
