Current solutions require the fabrication of a thermometer in close proximity to the gas sensor or an identical reference sensor to compensate for the sensor drift due to temperature. This increases the device size, fabrication cost, and the power required to operate the sensor; and also adds to the complexity of the device circuit for signal processing. Here, we demonstrate a single resonant gas sensor, based on a microbeam uniformly coated with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), capable of simultaneously measuring environmental temperature and gas concentration (water vapor). Using the electrostatic harmonic voltage, we actuate the microbeam simultaneously near the first and second vibration modes. The frequency shifts of these two modes due to physical stimuli changes are monitored in real time. The lower electrode of the clamped-clamped microbeam resonator is perforated to reduce the effect of squeeze film damping, thereby allowing operation under atmospheric pressure. We demonstrate experimentally the effectiveness of this technique to measure the environmental temperature and gas concentration.","PeriodicalId":405874,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE SENSORS","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123031985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurement and characterization of vibration levels of structural elements under varied operating conditions is necessary to determine anomalies and thereby prevent failure. High-speed gas turbines use a large number of small stator blades that are critical to their operation. High-speed operation can induce vibration components in excess of a few kHz. Internal operating temperatures can be well above 250°C and the sensors should be operational even at 500°C. This paper focuses on development of a single-axis MEMS capacitive accelerometer for direct mounting on gas turbine stator blades for monitoring and analyzing their vibration characteristics. The design uses SOI wafer as substrate to realize high temperature sensing with a sensitivity level on the order of 0.013ųm/g. The proposed device is developed using lab-scale fabrication with minimal facilities amenable for low-cost indigenous manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":405874,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE SENSORS","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116114694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An ALD-grown hafnium oxide thin film was integrated and used as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation of the detected analytes and hence increase sensitivity, selectivity and lower the detection limit of the sensor. ALD enabled the atomically-precise design of the hafnium oxide catalyst, which allows for lower detection limits without the need for polymeric pre-concentrators. The sensing principle was theoretically studied using the Finite Element Method (FEM), which has verified the possibility of using this platform for continuous detection and obtaining a unique detection signal at different temperatures. Experimental testing of the platform further verified its usability for oxidation detection of methanol vapor with less than 5 seconds adsorption time. Experiments obtained a unique signal at different heater temperatures which could be increased more than 23 times by increasing the heater voltage from 3.5 to 5.0 V.

MMDs are substrate materials consisting of thin membranes with a periodic structure on smooth surfaces that can be used to detect and separate particles. The surface structure comprises square apertures of characteristic size that bestow unique optical properties. Aerosol particles, including the damaging environmental pollutant particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5), were separated based on size and captured on MMD surfaces using a small air pump. The amount of captured particles was evaluated by band shifts in infrared (IR) transmittance spectra. Furthermore, bacterial genomic DNA attached to aerosol particles could be extracted with high yield, and extracted DNA resulted in bacterial constitution, as demonstrated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA. MMD sensors were used to analyze aerosol particles from suburbs of Kenya and Japan. The results provided information on the bacterial biota of the environment in each local area, and pathogenic bacteria were identified. The results suggest that MMD sensors are useful tools for epidemiological and environmental studies, as well as quality control applications for drugs, fine chemicals, and food components.","PeriodicalId":405874,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE SENSORS","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114267918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
