Impedance spectroscopy is an established sensing methodology used in microfluidic flow cytometry systems to electrically measure cell characteristics. The fluid transport method used in most flow cytometers is continuous flow driven by external syringe or pressure regulated pumps. An on ... Read More
State of the art proximity sensors are most often based on optical or tactile methods. Although these sensor systems are widely used (e.g. clamping protection) the reveal several drawbacks. Most optical sensors need a line of side whereas tactile sensors cannot be used to determine a ... Read More
The idea of application as a hearing device based on a parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea has been studied extensively recently. This paper addresses another possible application as an underwater directional sensor. In order to study the feasibility of the application, it is necessary to ... Read More
Capacitive MEMS sensors offer high spatial resolution, sensitivity and good frequency response. In this paper, we present a circular membrane capacitive MEMS device that finds use both as capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) and pressure sensor. The MEMS device is first ...

Several acoustic vector-sensor (AVS) configurations have been tested for direction of arrival (DoA) estimation in a diffused reverberant environment using pressure gradient method. The discrete pressure sensors have been arranged with different geometrical placement and pressure ... Read More
A flow sensor based on calorimetric principle is designed using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The sensor is capable of measuring the velocity from 0 to 1 m/s with a resolution of 0.001m/s. The system works with intrusive type mechanism in which the fluid flows across the sensor and ... Read More
Acoustic Resonance (Acu-Res®) Technology [1] is at the core of FT wind sensors, operating by measuring phase shifts between a pair of transducers caused by fluid flow within an acoustic resonator. Three piezoelectric transducers are placed in a triangular formation on the top reflector ... Read More
Introduction: This study describes a thin and low-cost capacitive pressure sensor in touch mode (TM) for monitoring fluid pressure from 0 to 40kPa in fluidic chambers with Luer fittings for medical applications. TM provides good linearity, large measuring range and large overload ... Read More
We report on the modeling of flexible piezoelectric capacitive sensor based on GaN wires grown by Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy. Single crystal cone-shaped wires with hexagonal cross section are embedded within dielectric layers (parylene) in between two metal electrodes to achieve a ... Read More
Understanding and controlling moisture migration is paramount in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of drug products across their entire lifecycle, from raw material receipt to final product distribution. Uncontrolled moisture migration can lead to ... Read More
