| Abstract | The properties of a microfinger with groove patterns etched on its surface were discussed in this paper. An analytical model of the deflection was built up to study the effect of the groove size on the bending stiffness and the deflection of the grooved finger. The calculation of the analytical model is consistent with the simulation and experimental results. When the grooves depth is 0.5 μm, the spring constant of grooved microfinger is 22.8%, smaller than that of flat finger without grooved patterns. The spring constant of the finger decreases with the increasing of the depth of the grooves. A stable novel microelectric–thermal gripper is introduced based on the grooved finger. It consists of four sub-cantilever beams positioned at the diagonal lines of a square frame in the end of the main cantilever structure suspended from the silicon substrate, which guarantees an effective contact by the four-point contact area on the top surface to grab components of importance. The thermal-expansion-induced deflection makes the fingers moving vertically from an “open” position to a working one. The grooved finger helps to decrease the bending stiffness of the finger and increase the deflection and the initial gap. The simple fabrication process has a feasibility of compatible and mass production. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
