New techniques for making small, micromechanical parts are enabling large new markets.  Sales of these micro devices are projected to be 30 billion dollars by the year 2002.

For the past 8 years Belle Mead Research has specialized in using these micromechanical (or MEMS) devices to advantage.  Belle Mead Research has designed and developed products, helped start up companies, evaluated products and programs, and performed research. Below is a summary of some collaborative efforts.
 

• Helping a spin off company, Marcus & Trimmer, Inc. develop a product, secure funds, and develop business plans to market and sell a medical product.

• Develop a new fabrication process to solve a client's problem, and found a research group making the needed structure.

• Design a micro valve for a specialty application.

• Help a client find a MEMS company to purchase.

• Develop and license the MicroLance™ genetic engineering probe.

• Help a client market their micromachining capabilities in Europe.

• Perform literature and patentability searches using BMR's extensive library.

• Provide confidentially for clients wishing to explore a MEMS area.

• Research in the science and metrology of micro phenomena.

• Evaluate existing MEMS programs.
