Today, 90 percent of automation sensors are binary proximity detectors. Besides capacitive and optical types, inductive proximity sensors are essential for industrial applications. Compared to their mechanical counterparts, they offer almost ideal properties as contact-free and wear-free ... Read More
Measuring soil moisture content plays an important role not only for sustaining dry farming but also for soil mapping. Our work includes developing a soil moisture sensor which is based on the principle of the Dual-Probe Heat-Pulse method to measure soil moisture content. To validate ... Read More
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
In this paper, we discuss a simplified finite element method simulation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line hydrogen sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics. A delay line SAW sensor consists of a transmitting interdigital transducer (IDT) and a receiving IDT separated by a few ... Read More
Ultra-cold atomic systems have proven over the last decade to be a excellent platform for the realization of quantum sensors, quantum computation or quantum simulation applications. A special implementation of this technology is the so called atom chip, where the magnetic fields ... Read More
RF NEMS Magnetoelectric (ME) Sensor with a ferromagnetic (FeGaB)/ piezoelectric (AlN) thin film heterostructure is simulated, fabricated and measured in this work. To analyze the response of the ME structures, the coupling between the magnetic, elastic and electric field in the two ... Read More
FT wind sensors measure wind speed and direction using an acoustic field superimposed on a flow field in an acoustic resonator equipped with three piezoelectric transducers. The study proposed here focuses on the acoustic resonance technology of a simplified wind sensor geometry, and how ... Read More
In India, more than 150,000 people are killed each year in traffic accidents, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways 2016 report. That’s about 400 fatalities a day, which is far higher than in developed auto markets like the US which, in 2016, logged about 40,000 a ... Read More
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a wide range of carbon based organic chemical compounds which evaporate easily at room temperature referred as volatile in nature. Human exhaled breathe consists of carbon dioxide (CO2) along with more than 3000 Volatile Organic Compounds exists like ... Read More
In recent year gas sensors are commercially available for use in healthcare such as exhaled breath analysis in addition to hazardous gas monitoring as new vistas for technological application. In this work we first fabricated the vertically aligned Si NW arrays experimentally and ... Read More
