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

A textile based capacitive pressure sensor Tập 2 - Trang 1625-1630 vol.2
M. Sergio, N. Manaresi, M. Tartagni, R. Guerrieri, R. Canegallo
This paper introduces an approach for decoding the pressure information exerted
over a broad piece of fabric by means of capacitive sensing. The proposed sensor
includes a distributed passive array of capacitors (i.e. an array where no
active elements are involved), whose capacitance depends on the pressure exerted
on the textile surface, and an electronic system that acquire and process the
subse... hiện toàn bộ

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

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

Electrically controlled metal oxide gas sensor designed with PROSA-CHEM Tập 1 - Trang 356-360 vol.1 - 2002
M. Scheinert, T. Doll, J. Woellenstein, J. Dalin, H.P. Frerichs, H. Verhoeven, M. Lehmann
In this paper, an electrically controlled metal oxide gas sensor designed with
PROSA-CHEM is introduced, specified and realized. The simulator PROSA-CHEM is
explained and its function is verified by using realistic sensor data. On the
practical side, a first device was fabricated and first measurements were done
and compared with the simulation. It is found that the gas sensitivity and
selectivity... hiện toàn bộ

Adaptive reduction of motion artifact from photoplethysmographic recordings using a variable step-size LMS filter Tập 2 - Trang 1343-1346 vol.2
K.W. Chan, Y.T. Zhang
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used for the continuous monitoring of
peripheral circulation. However, the quality of the PPG signal is degraded
drastically by motion artifact caused during dynamic recordings. In this paper,
a LMS filter with automatic step-size control is proposed to mitigate the
effects of motion artifact in PPG recordings for long-term patient monitoring.
