In this paper, a novel Hybrid Membrane-Flexure Nanomechanical (HMF-NM) Piezoresistive Sensor with SU-8 as structural material and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) as piezoresistor is designed and simulated using commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software. SU-8/ITO microcantilever has been fabricated to electromechanically extract the piezoresistive property of ITO which has been considered for simulation. The simulated device consists of a circular membrane coated with receptor layer suspended by inverse trapezoidal flexures with embedded piezoresistors. Surface stress induced on the membrane due to target binding is transduced as a uniaxial stress in the flexures which is then sensed using piezoresistors. A conventional polymer U-shaped piezoresistive cantilever is also designed and simulated for comparison. The surface stress sensitivity of HMF-NM sensor is extracted as 4.01 ppm/[mN/m] which is more than 20 times that of a conventional cantilever.

The aim of the work is to investigate the relationship between bearing radial clearance and vibration frequencies during service. The bearing clearance can be determined based on the energy spectrum of the rotation vibration by the application of neural networks. Experimental investigations are performed using two double-row self-aligning ball bearings and vibration sensors in order to examine this assumption. The bearing vibrations are recorded at different clearances and rotation frequencies and analyzed. The developed system can be used for monitoring or prediction of clearance during service.

Indoor location based services have become attractive given the rapid advances in information communication technologies (ICTs), especially sophisticated cyber physical system (CPS) technologies, as the global positioning system (GPS) fails within buildings/homes. Therefore, this paper proposes an indoor human location recognition method that uses the vibration signals captured by floor-mounted acceleration sensors. This method eliminates the carrying of devices while protecting personal dignity. Experiments that use 3 acceleration sensors placed on a wooden floor show that the location of a person can be recognized within 2 m from a sensor module with more than 70 % accuracy. An enhanced version offers accuracy of more than 85 %. These results verify the feasibility of the proposed system.

In this work, we give a detailed examination of the development of a new piezoelectric ceramic-polymer composite. A full account of the major methods developed in making the polymer composite is presented. Norland Optical Adhesive 65 (“NOA65”) is an ultraviolet (UV)-curable adhesive with potential to be used as a functional material in stereolithography additive manufacturing. The salient aspects of processing such a composite is summarized. This involved preparing samples by using the spin coating technique. Samples of the composite mixture are spin coated on silver-coated glass slides at 2000 rpm for 10s to give a layer thickness of 100μm. The average $pmb d_{33}$ of the composite material was measured and shown to be 2.8 pm/V.

The current home fetal heart rate (fHR) measurement devices and clinical cardiotocography (CTG) use ultrasound Doppler detectors that are highly position and movement dependent making it difficult to capture the fHR, often causing unnecessary alarm and concerns. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also been concerned about the unknown rate of repeat and prolonged use of ultrasound detectors. Fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) and HR monitoring devices based on bio-potential acquisition have been developed; however, they are bulky and intrusive, thus not widely accepted. Here, we present innovative non-contact electrode ECG sensors on a small unobtrusive patch which could be attached to the abdomen, or inside garment, incorporated with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wireless communication, to transfer the acquired data to a smartphone. An Android app was developed to extract the mixed maternal/fetal ECG (f/mECG) signals. In this paper, we demonstrate a simple and robust scheme to provide accurate 24/7 monitoring of f/mHR, with the potential to expand to f/mECG monitoring in the home setting.

We report a robust process flow for fabrication of PiezoMEMS devices with Lead Zirconate Titanate thin film as the active piezoelectric material. This process flow can overcome all contamination issues that plague processing PZT thin films in a shared facility. We use wet etch recipes for etching of the bottom electrode (platinum) and PZT. We propose sidewall coverage of PZT and Pt film while carrying out deep silicon etch in DRIE to avoid possible exposure of these contaminating materials to the tool. With this process, we have fabricated a gyroscope structure with electrostatic comb drive actuation and piezoelectric sensing. The structure is tested for actuation using PZT film on the beam just to verify the integrity of the active layer.

In this report, we present a method for improving selectivity in methanol sensing, using MoO3 micrograss encapsulated ZnO microcube based composite. MoO3micrograss and ZnO microcubes are synthesized by the conventional hydrothermal method, after that, a solution based synthesis approach to synthesize MoO3 micrograss encapsulated ZnO microcube. Grown materials are characterized by FESEM, XRD, EDX, and BET surface area analysis by nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique. Volatile organic compounds sensing performance of these three type material are tested. Results indicate that MoO3 micrograss encapsulated ZnO microcube composite has higher sensitivity and selectivity towards methanol compare to its individual component. Improvement in sensing performance in MoO3 micrograss encapsulated ZnO microcube is attributed to the unique morphology and presence of n-n heterojunction between ZnO microcube and MoO3 micrograss.

Kidney failure is a critical chronic disease, defined as the irreversible loss of kidney functions. It has been shown that this pathology is associated with an increase of ammonia concentration in breath. Measuring it with a handheld system is a simple way for a noninvasive and early diagnostic. The idea of this paper is to measure the concentration of ammonia in a concentration range of human breath (500 ppb-2100 ppb) with humidity using a network of 11 different nanocomposite sensors. To overcome sensor weaknesses (sensor drift and sensitivity to humidity), the electronic nose principles are applied. Polyaniline-based nanocomposites with titanium dioxide, chitosan and carbon nanotubes are used to provide different sensitivities and response times and thus associate a single pattern to a concentration range. Several classifiers are then investigated and recursive feature elimination algorithm are used to select the most relevant features and sensors while improving the measurement accuracy. Diagnosis accuracy reaches 91% with the combination of feature selection and Support Vector Machine algorithm.

This paper presents the designs of an air-microfluidic miniaturized wearable respirable dust monitor (WEARDM) which is designed to monitor the exposure to ISO respirable mass fraction (PM4) of coal and silica dust in underground coal mines. The device is an order of magnitude smaller and less expensive than comparable devices, and uses the principles of air-microfluidics to gravimetrically and in real-time monitor the exposure to PM4 by the miners, and can be used to increase the safety of the mining operations worldwide.

With the exponential increase in number of connected sensor devices for various smart infrastructure based applications, a huge amount of heterogeneous data are generated every moment. Data collection techniques play a crucial role in defining the application QoS. In this paper, we propose SDCF, a novel data collection framework to serve different applications used for smart building monitoring. Proposed SDCF adopts a context-aware forwarding strategy to ensure higher delivery reliability with reduced delay. The overall packet loss is much lower for SDCF as the design involves adaptive data forwarding technique coupled with data fusion. The effectiveness of the proposed routing mechanism has been established by a simulation based comparative analysis with AODV routing protocol.
