Filed:

Jan 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/764615

Inventors:

Alfredo M. Morales - Livermore CA
Michael R. Winter - Goleta CA
Linda A. Domeier - Danville CA
Shawn M. Allan - Henrietta NY
Dawn M. Skala - Fremont CA

Assignee:

Sandia Corporation - Livermore CA

International Classification:

C08K 308

US Classification:

524439, 524440, 524441, 419 38, 419 39, 419 42

Abstract:

A method is provided for fabricating metallic microstructures, i. e. , microcomponents of micron or submicron dimensions. A molding composition is prepared containing an optional binder and nanometer size (1 to 1000 nm in diameter) metallic particles. A mold, such as a lithographically patterned mold, preferably a LIGA or a negative photoresist mold, is filled with the molding composition and compressed. The resulting microstructures are then removed from the mold and the resulting metallic microstructures so provided are then sintered.

International Classification:

A63H 29/22

US Classification:

446484, 446297, 446397

Abstract:

The invention provides a method for figurines to form and join a network of figurines by setting them near other figurines, by activating them via a power switch, or by placing them in communication with a central hub. A communications path using radio or IR frequency is used to form the network, such that only one figurine can transmit data while the others receive data at any time. Once the network has been formed, the figurines can formulate behaviors based on the attributes, requests, and actions of the others. These behaviors are based on the data transpired between the figurines and can include meaning of spoken words, current state, etc. Each figurine has a personality controlled by its internal data, which also controls its relationships with others. Each figurine can spontaneously create a speech or action based on the reply given by another coupled with data stored within its databank.
