Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented inventor's new type material called AuCuNi alloy (AuCu Ni) was developed during research into making contacts between two conductors made up of different types of metallic elements like copper, nickels, etc., which resulted in improved performance over previous methods such as silver plating and soldering techniques. This improvement led to increased energy transfer capabilities and higher efficiency in electronic devices while reducing their impact on human health caused by electromagnetic interference. Overall, these improvements lead to better quality products and more reliable operation under extreme conditions.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes different types of electrostatic actuated (EML) MEMS devices called RFMEMS switchs. These include smaller sizes than previous designs like solenoid valves, allowing for more compact design without requiring bulky components. They use less electric power while still maintaining excellent performance over longer periods of time. However they may experience issues during operation at extreme temperatures where conventional EMI shielded semiconductor electronics cannot work properly. To address these concerns, an improved method involving copper plating was developed by researchers working on similar principles.
