THE MARRIAGE PLOT / by Eugenides, Jeffrey, author 375385

“…Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more Bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations. But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. …”

Process development for moving mechanical assemblies by Tay, Beng Kang

“…MEMS further extend the fabrication techniques developed for the integrated circuit industry to add mechanical elements such as beams, bridges, gears, diaphragms and springs to devices. Another distinction is that typically 3-D structures required for many MEMS applications (optical, mechanical, etc) create a need for nonstandard materials and non-polygonal geometries. …”
