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

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

Biologically inspired auditory sensing system interfaces on a chip Tập 1 - Trang 669-674 vol.1
P. Hasler, P.D. Smith, R. Ellis, D. Graham, D. Anderson
Describes the current effort of creating cooperative analog/digital signal
processing (CADSP) systems towards auditory sensor and signal processing
applications. We address resolution issues that affect the choice of signal
processing algorithms arriving from an analog sensor. We discuss current analog
circuit approaches towards the front-end signal processing. We discuss our
current IC approaches... hiện toàn bộ

Can microTAS be alternatives for sensors? Tập 1 - Trang 680-683 vol.1
J.C.T. Eijkel, O.P. Naji, P.B. Monaghan, A. Manz
In a brief introduction it is described how sensors and microTAS both attempt to
meet the industrial need for in-situ monitoring in a different way. As examples
of microTAS with monitoring capabilities a plasma emission detector and a
bioreactor are presented.

Optical and electrical gas sensing properties of In/sub x/O/sub y/N/sub z/ films Tập 1 - Trang 623-626 vol.1
M. Ando, H. Steffes, R. Chabicovsky, M. Haruta, G. Stangl
In this paper we describe the optical and electrical gas sensing properties of
In/sub x/O/sub y/N/sub z/ films promoted by an ultra-thin gold overlayer. We
have fabricated In/sub x/O/sub y/N/sub z/ films with a nanocrystalline porous
structure by RF-sputtering in Ar/N/sub 2/ followed by an annealing process. Gold
particles with 20-30 nm diameter on top of the In/sub x/O/sub y/N/sub z/ films

Frequency interference between two quartz crystal microbalances Tập 2 - Trang 1148-1153 vol.2
K.H. Lee, F. Shen, P. Lu, S.J. O'Shea, T.Y. Ng
In this paper, the frequency interference between two quartz crystal
microbalances (QCMs) is investigated. Based on Mindlin's theory, the influence
of design parameters on the frequency behavior of the QCM structure is studied.

Common design techniques for quartz rate sensors for both automotive and aerospace/defense market applications Tập 2 - Trang 1597-1602 vol.2
A.M. Madni, L.E. Costlow
In the early 1990s, Systron Donner Inertial Division (SDID), a subsidiary of BEI
Technologies, Inc., possessed a new solid-state rate gyroscope technology that
had not yet matured or captured a significant market share. Even though some
success had been achieved in defense missile applications, a strategy was
clearly needed to further develop the technology and lay the foundation for
future growth... hiện toàn bộ

ARROW-based optical accelerometers Tập 2 - Trang 1075-1079 vol.2
A. Llobera, J.A. Plaza, I. Salinas, J. Berganzo, J. Garcia, J. Esteve, C. Dominguez
Design, fabrication and characterization of silicon-based stress-free
self-aligned quad beam accelerometer is presented. Standard total internal
reflection waveguides have been replaced by ARROW structures, enhancing the
sensitivity to >4dB/g at the wavelength visible range (633nm) Moreover, as the
waveguide core has approximately the same size as the input fiber optic,
insertion losses have been ... hiện toàn bộ

Compensation of packaging asymmetry in a 2-D wind sensor Tập 2 - Trang 1256-1259 vol.2
S.P. Matova, K.A.A. Makinwa, J.H. Huijsing
The influence of packaging on the behaviour of a 2-D thermal wind sensor has
been investigated. Non-ideal packaging increases the thermal asymmetry in the
sensor, which in turn distorts its output signal. Such distortion can be
compensated for by adjusting the heat distribution in the sensor. Using a
combination of CAD modeling techniques, expressions have been derived from which
the compensating ... hiện toàn bộ

Fiber optics sensors for ultrasonic virtual biopsy Tập 1 - Trang 261-265 vol.1
A. Acquafresca, E. Biagi, L. Masotti, D. Menichelli
Recent progresses in optoacoustics let us foresee the possibility to realize a
strongly miniaturized transducer constituted by two optical fibers: a first
fiber, with a heavily absorbing film on its extremity, to generate broadband
ultrasounds; another fiber, with a Fabry-Perot cavity mounted, or deposed, on
its tip, to optically detect ultrasonic echoes. The proposed transducer is
characterized b... hiện toàn bộ
