The growing adoption of electric vehicles has led to increased exposure of cars to stray magnetic fields. To address this issue, inductive position sensors have emerged as a viable solution due to their inherent immunity to stray magnetic fields. Widespread adoption of the inductive ... Read More
This poster focuses on the development of a capacitive pressure sensor for condition monitoring applications. One method to measure vibrations is to mount an pressure sensor on the vibrating machinery or object and measure the pressure exerted due to vibrations. Measured pressure level ... Read More
In this paper, we focused on modeling of the piezoresistive pressure sensors. The Structural Mechanics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the sensor and make a comparative study of the MEMS pressure sensor with different shape and size of membrane. The impact of ... Read More
An Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) is a compact device used for finding azimuthal as well as elevation angle of an acoustic source using particle velocity and pressure measured at the acoustic center of the device. There are mainly two types of AVS; namely P-P and P-U based AVS. P-P based ... Read More
PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is the most widely used motion sensor for occupancy detection in building automation applications. Normally, only the binary information indicating presence or absence is used. However, an advanced analysis of the PIR sensor analog signal can results in more ... Read More
This article describes the design of MEMS based cantilever structure intended for determination of blood group and it is compared with manual method. Cantilever structure design has a sensing layer and when a blood sample comes in contact with this, results in coagulation. The surface ... Read More
Silicon based MEMS have wide applications in under water sensors. This work aims one such applications, hydrophone. Hydrophone detects the pressure variations of acoustic signals and noise in the water and produces an output voltage proportional to the pressure. Here the attempt is made ... Read More
This paper concentrates on developing a self-contained cochlea whose performance is at par with natural hearing. The Artificial Basilar Membrane (ABM) design is done in such a manner so as to get a performance similar to the natural hearing. Finite element analysis was done with the help ... Read More
Piezo buzzers, made of piezoelectric material glued on a brass plate, are usually used as signaler, but the buzzer can also be used to convert mechanical into electrical energy. If acceleration influences the buzzer, the structure is bent by its mass and a voltage can be measured between ... Read More
Real-time microstructure monitoring is important during the cooling process for hot-rolled strip steel production, as the microstructure formed determines the mechanical properties required by customers. The materials magnetic and electric properties, relative permeability and ... Read More
