In this paper a thermal electric finite element method (FEM) analysis was used to investigate the thermal properties of individual electrically driven platinum micro-heaters. The geometric optimization for the micro-heater was performed by simulating a wide range of possible geometries ... Read More
Hydrophones are acoustic receivers, which can be used to listen to the sound propagating underwater for the purposes of monitoring marine life, or other sound producing activities in the sea. Commonly used hydrophones are based on piezoelectric transducers. With the introduction of fiber ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® and the Batteries & Fuel Cells Module are used to create a pseudo 2D model of a Li-ion battery. A sensitivity analysis determines the most sensitive model parameters which are identified by microstructure analysis or optimized by nonlinear least-square regression ... Read More
The effect of static magnetic fields (SMF) on living matter such cell cultures and living organisms has been a promising research field. Efforts have been given in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms and interaction between the field and the biological system with its ... Read More
Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) ultrasound imaging of cardiac cavities is a known diagnostic and monitoring technique, used during interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures. The SOUNDSTAR® Catheter, manufactured by Biosense Webster, Inc., enables locating the ... Read More
Sensitivity of a cantilever-mass based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometer can efficiently be tailored by altering the distance between the axis of the FBG sensor to the neutral axis of the cantilever. To accomplish that in general, a backing patch is used to mount the FBG on the ... Read More
In ESA's Cosmic Vision program, the Japanese SPICA satellite is a mission of opportunity in the M-class, with the SAFARI instrument being one of the next generation space-borne astronomy instruments being developed to take advantage of SPICA’s cryogenically cooled 3-m class primary ... Read More
Energy harvesting from ambient vibrations has become an interesting topic for powering wireless sensor networks. Resonant microdevices based on MEMS have become of central importance at low frequency. The power produced at resonance is at least one order of magnitude larger than off ... Read More
Matthias Richwin joined KOSTAL, a worldwide automotive first-tier supplier, in 2003 where he started working on the design of optical sensor systems. In 2007 he took over responsibility for simulation methods in the series product development and since then leads the simulation ... Read More
In spite of its low throughput, Patch-Clamp is the established method for intracellular measurements of the transmembrane potential. To address this problem, we have developed new biosensor-chips with micro-structured needle electrodes (MNEs). MNE-penetration of single cells growing on ... Read More
