So What Are MEMS?

► Strictly speaking: MicroElectroMechanical Systems ► Frequently broadened to mean MicroTransducers or even

Microsystems

How Do MEMS Work?

► This diagram represents a single finger set ► There are 30 finger sets per axis ► Total capacitance from the entire finger set is 64 fF ► Changes in displ change the differential capacitance

And now for something a bit different…….

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston?

Other than not being local?

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? They taste like chalk …

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? …because they’re grown industrially as little green golf balls…

What’s the matter with tomatoes sold in Boston? … and low-tech ethylene gas is applied on the way to Boston.

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. California has no water

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. Florida has no soil

Tomatoes are imported from weird places. Other tomato regions

• f the world have

dubious labor and environmental practices

There are 7,755 farms in Massachusetts 523,000 acres produce $492 million in agricultural products Average farm produces $63,470 of agricultural products on just 68 acres.

Unfortunately for local Tomato producers, that’s a lot of Ketchup!

We want more locally-produced tomatoes! The goal: produce 50% of our tomatoes within New England by 2060

We want more locally-produced tomatoes! This requires supporting the success and growth

Welcome to the Internet of Tomatoes Project!

PRODUCTIVITY  No disease  Maximum yield  Right water  Right heat  Right soil  Right light  When to harvest

Goal: Reconcile Productivity and Taste

HEALTHY  Lycopene SAFE  Minimize chemicals TASTE  Sweet  Acid  Low water content  Salt

Let’s “high-tech” the local tomato chain!
