Abstract
This article proposes an electrothermal three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) micro-positioner equipped with a waveguide path, which can potentially be used for chip-to-chip alignment in photonic integrated circuits. The micro-positioner provides translational displacements along the x-, y- and z- axes with manageable levels of cross-sensitivity between axes. A fabricated prototype provides displacements of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\pm 3.35~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> at 105 mW along the x-axis, and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$+4.5~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> at 140 mW along the y-axis. Moreover, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$+7~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of out-of-plane displacement is achieved along the z-axis when 210 mW is applied to the x-axis actuators to buckle the structure. The AC response of the micro-positioner shows that the fundamental resonance mode occurs at 18.8 kHz. [2023-0208]

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
