Title: Innovations of Jun Yan in MEMS Technology
Introduction
Jun Yan is a prominent inventor based in Cincinnati, OH (US), known for his contributions to Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his innovative approach to MEMS oscillators and scanners. His work has significantly advanced the field, particularly in simplifying drive schemes and improving structural efficiency.
Latest Patents
One of Jun Yan's latest patents involves driving a MEMS scanner with a combined actuator drive signal. This invention presents an improved and simplified drive scheme and structure for MEMS oscillators. The drive impulses are transmitted to an oscillating mass via torque through the support arms. For multi-axis oscillators, drive signals for two or more axes can be superimposed by a driver circuit and transmitted to the MEMS oscillator. The oscillator responds in each axis according to its resonance frequency, allowing for resonant driving in some or all axes. This innovation results in improved load distribution, reduced deformation, and a simplified structure that offers multi-axis oscillation using a single moving body. Another structure directly drives multiple moving bodies, while yet another eliminates actuators from one or more moving bodies, allowing them to be driven by their support arms.
