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

Low-cost magnetic torque sensor principle Tập 2 - Trang 901-904 vol.2
H. Ruser, U. Troltzsch, M. Horn
The torque is measured in a contactless technique without special treatment of
the shaft, using the magneto-elastic effect of ferromagnetic materials. Strain
or stress due to moments lead to a change of magnetic properties of the material
(hysteresis deformation, permeability changes). Magnetoelastic sensors are
distinguished by robustness and good reproducibility. However, inhomogeneities
of the ... hiện toàn bộ
