New surface acoustic wave gas sensor of the mass-sensitive type sensitive to the thermal properties of gases Tập 1 - Trang 372-375 vol.1
R.G. Kryshtal, A.V. Medved
The basic principles of a new surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor are
described. Being essentially a sensor of the mass-sensitive type, the proposed
device possesses certain features of the thermometric SAW sensors and is not
only sensitive to the vapors of volatile substances, but capable of detecting
gases by their thermal properties as well. This principles consists of making a
certain delay... hiện toàn bộ

The wavelength sensor using optical directional coupler Tập 1 - Trang 83-85 vol.1
S. Somkuarnpanit, S. Jaturuntruengsri, S. Kunthaweetep
This paper proposes a wavelength sensor based on an optical directional coupler.
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate of the
light intensity propagating thorough the structure, and to find the appropriate
dimensions of the structure. The device with the width and thickness of 0.4 /spl
mu/m/spl times/0.6 /spl mu/m, which corresponds to the coupling length of 40

Task-oriented self-organization of ad hoc sensor systems Tập 2 - Trang 1485-1490 vol.2
J. Zhang, K. Premaratne, M. Dogruel, P. Bauer
An ad hoc network is a collection of perhaps wireless mobile nodes dynamically
forming a network without the use of any pre-existing network infrastructure or
centralized administration. Resource limitations of sensors deployed in an ad
hoc setting necessitates careful consideration of the choice of sensors. In this
paper, a distributed task-oriented self-organization algorithm for sensors in
such... hiện toàn bộ

Remote process monitoring using optical fibre sensors Tập 2 - Trang 1537-1542 vol.2
B. Degamber, G.F. Fernando
Conventional means of curing thermosetting resins used in advanced fibre
reinforced composites involves heating the sample in an oven or autoclave where
heat is transferred to the sample through conduction and convection. This
conventional method for manufacturing composites involves long processing time.
On the other hand, microwave-based processing offers the advantage of a
significantly faster ... hiện toàn bộ

Self-energized wireless pressure sensor using energy extraction from injection mold pressure differential Tập 2 - Trang 942-949 vol.2
C.B. Theurer, Li Zhang, D. Kazmer, R.X. Gao
With the prolific use of sensors for manufacturing process monitoring and the
growing demand for system integration, the issue of packaging and installation
has assumed an increasingly central role. This paper presents the design of a
self-energized pressure sensor that extracts energy from the pressure
differential of the polymer melt during the injection molding process. A

Comparison of different control loop concepts for direct distance measurement using photonic mixing devices (PMD) Tập 1 - Trang 151-155 vol.1
D. Becker, P. Gulden, M. Vossiek
This paper presents two different control loop approaches for distance
measurement with photonic mixing devices (PMD). Possible all-analog
implementations are pointed out, and measurements with two different loop types
using our laboratory PMD system are provided. It is shown that the PI control
loop implementation reaches distance accuracy comparable to previous modulation
methods, but on the oth... hiện toàn bộ
