Invention->Market
Creation of a new market is slow.
Market->Invention (easier)
What is the existing competition?
Impact will it take over the market?
Manufacturing
Sales
Modeling as in this course: Analysis of options,
performance, price. Planning of R+D, business
plan.
Device Categories
Technology Demonstrations
Test device concept
Test fabrication technology
Small # of devices/low yield ok
Research Tools
Small # of devices, often custom.
Commercial Products
Large # of devices, high yield, low cost,
packaging all critical.
Domains
Thermal (temperature, heat, heat flow)
Mechanical (force, pressure, velocity,
acceleration, position)
Chemical (concentration, composition,
reaction rate)
Magnetic (magnetic field intensity,
magnetization)
Radient (intensity, wavelength,
polarization, phase)
Electrical (voltage, current, charge,
resistance)
Magnetostrictive Actuators
Materials expand/contract with magnetic
field
Similar to piezoelectric effect
