Author's note

Publisher Summary This section presents the viewpoint of the author of the publication “Nano and Micro Engineered Membrane Technology.” The first micro engineered membranes were manufactured in the Mesa Clean Room of the University of Twente and were made after four months of harsh micro machining labor. The membrane (two-inch diameter) is called a microsieve and has pores of five micron in diameter. The membranes can also be made in much less time, it is one of the simplest micro engineered products, in comparison to air bag sensors, flow sensors, and micro motors. New technology is only successful if at a given time others want to take over and want to do research or bring developed products to the market.
