Abstract

An apparatus including a micro-mechanical calibration member having at least a portion that is elastically biasable away from a neutral position in response to mechanical contact. The apparatus may also include a fixed member proximate the micro-mechanical calibration member which may be referenced to automatically detect deflection of the micro-mechanical calibration member away from the neutral position. The micro-mechanical calibration member may also be configured to receive a micro-mechanical contacting member to provide the mechanical contact employed to bias the micro-mechanical calibration member away from the neutral position.
