Claims13
An electro-mechanical system, the system comprising:
- a base layer;
- a structural plate in contact with a stop, wherein the structural plate is supported above the base layer by a pivot and the stop is disposed over the base layer;
- and
- an actuator activated by a force for creating a movement of the stop relative to the structural plate, wherein the movement is sufficient to overcome stiction forces between the structural plate and the stop.
