FEM Analysis of MEMS Capacitive Presure Sensor with Segmented Boss Structure for Diaphragm

A. K. Ramesh [1], P. Ramesh [1],
[1]College of Engineering Munnar, Munnar, Kerala, India

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based capacitive pressure sensor designs with improved sensitivity is always a matter of great concern and the recent developments in such a design is the MEMS capacitive pressure sensor with bossed diaphragm.The bossed diaphragm model improves ... Read More

Design of a MEMS Bolometer with Absorptive Element as Piezo-Protein

H. Sinha [1], A. Mukherjee[1], N. Chattoraj[1],
[1]Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India

Bolometer is a thermal infrared sensor used for measuring the intensity of radiation via the heating of a material due to the radiations. A bolometer consists of an absorptive element, a thin layered material, connected to a thermal reservoir. The result is that any radiation received on ... Read More

Design and Simulation of Electroactive Polymer-Based Artificial Muscles for Biomedical Application

A. S. Tripathi [1], B. P. Chatterjee [2], S. Das [3],
[1] Advanced Technology Development Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, India
[2] Dept. of Cardiology, Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, India
[3] School of Medical Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, India

Electro-active polymer (EAP) based actuators are one of the suitable contenders for use in artificial muscles based bio-medical application because of their bio compatibility and lower active actuation voltage requirement phenomenon. At present Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC), a ... Read More

Electric Field Induced Patterning in Thin Films

A. Atta [1], S. Dwivedi [1], Vivek [1], R. Mukherjee [1],
[1] Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India

Interfacial structures/pattern, especially with small-scale dimensions, are important to the chemistry of materials in determining the optical, electrical, mechanical, or other physical properties of novel materials. Polymers are often used for surface patterning. The diversity, the ... Read More

Optimization of Device Geometry of a Fully-Implantable Hearing Aid Microphone

A. Dwivedi [1], G. Khanna [1],
[1] National Institute of Technology Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India

The hearing impairment is affecting more than 360 million people all over the world.In India alone, 63 million people suffer from the significant auditory loss. Conventional hearing aids suffer from reliability, practicality and social stigma concerns. The totally implantable devices ... Read More

Design and Simulation of a MEMS Directional Acoustic Sensor

S. L. Pinjare [1], V. S. Nagaraja [1], K. S. Rudresh [1],
[1] Department of ECE , Nitte Meenakshi Institute of technology, Bangalore, Karnataka, India

A Piezoelectric Directional Microphone is demonstrated based on a bio-mimetic design inspired by the parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea using the PiezoMUMPs multi-user foundry. The device simulation was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® software which achieves a directional sound field ... Read More

3D Simulation of an Acceleration Sensor with Self-sufficient Energy Supply

L. Weber [1], L. Fromme [1], D. Zielke [2],
[1] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics, Bielefeld, Germany
[2] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Institute BIFAM, Bielefeld, Germany

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

A Novel Plug n Play MEMS-Based DNA Microarray

K. Jindal [1], V. Grover [1], B. Nayak [1],
[1] Birla Institute of Technology and Science - Pilani, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Microarrays are extensively used in modern biology as tools of multiplexed, high throughput analysis to study thousands of genes and their expression inside cells at once [1]. The basic principle of a microarray is quantitative detection of fluorophore tagged DNA. Use of this method ... Read More
