Focusing on innovative applications, this thesis explores the development of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for deploying antennas on small platforms like insects or microrobots. Utilizing a 1 mm monopole antenna, various MEMS designs were created, including mechanisms powered by scratch drives and thermal actuators. Successful prototypes featured unique configurations, such as gears that elevate the antenna beam or flip side flaps. The study emphasizes the potential of MEMS in enhancing communication technologies through self-assembly and efficient design modifications.

When Bartholomew gets a little black kitten, he must learn to take care of him and be gentle with him.

There are times when Bartholomew is good and times when he isn't. When George tells him to sit on his potty or be gentle with the little kitten, to eat his dinner, or get into bed, Ba says, "Nah!" and George has to tell him again in a big voice. But no matter how grumpy or grouchy Bartholomew may be, George is always ready to give him a hug because, when all is said and done, George loves little Ba just the way he is!
