Paragrafo 1: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are small devices that combine mechanical elements with electrical components. They are made using electronic manufacturing technology, which allows for miniaturization and low-cost production. Examples of MEMS in everyday life include airbag release sensors in cars and motion detection in smartphones. How are MEMS devices different from traditional mechanical systems? A) They are smaller in size. B) They are more expensive to produce. C) They do not have electrical components. D) They are not used in everyday life.
Paragrafo 2: MEMS components can range in size from 1 to 100 micrometers. There is a new generation of even smaller components called NEMS, which have dimensions in the nanometer range. These tiny devices have a wide range of applications due to their flexibility. What is the main advantage of NEMS devices? A) They are extremely lightweight. B) They are more expensive to produce. C) They are larger in size than MEMS devices. D) They have fewer applications.
Paragrafo 3: MEMS devices can be simple structures with no moving parts or complex systems with multiple moving parts controlled by microelectronics. They have two main functions: sensors and actuators. MEMS sensors can detect various environmental phenomena with high sensitivity. What can MEMS sensors detect? A) Temperature and pressure. B) Chemical composition and radiation. C) Magnetic fields and acceleration. D) All of the above.
Paragrafo 4: MEMS actuators include microvalves and micropumps that control the flow of gas and liquid. These devices are used in a wide range of appliances, from mass-market products to specialized instruments. What are some examples of appliances that use MEMS devices? A) Videogames and printers. B) Surgical and biomedical equipment. C) Drones and robots. D) All of the above.
Paragrafo 5: MEMS devices are becoming increasingly integrated into personalized applications, including clothing. They are also expected to play a crucial role in the Internet of Things (IoT). What will MEMS devices become in the IoT? A) The eyes, ears, and arms. B) The brain and heart. C) The legs and feet. D) The lungs and stomach.
