The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... Read More

Electromagnetic Design of an RF-Coil Transceiver for NQR-Based Explosive Detection

P. Farantatos [1], J. Barras [1], I. Poplett [1], P. Kosmas [1],
[1] King's College London, UK

In the humanitarian demining setting, it is crucial to detect landmines with reliable sensing performance. As Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is an effective method for detecting explosive materials, our group is currently developing the world’s first low-cost system for anti-vehicle ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling a Redox-Enzyme-Based Electrochemical Biosensor

Y. Huang[1], and A. Mason[1]
[1]Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA

This paper describes the modeling of an electrochemical biosensor embedded in a microfluidic channel to determine the concentration of a target biomolecule. The total amount of analyte in the sample can be calculated by integrating the analyte concentration over the duration of the peak ... Read More

Air Damping Simulation of MEMS Torsional Paddle

N. Mahmoodi[1], C. J. Anthony[1]
[1]University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK

Viscous damping has a significant effect on dynamic performance of the resonators operating within fluid. This work is aimed to find the viscous damping for MEMS torsional paddle operating in air. Interaction of moving structure with the fluid requires a complicated and challenging ... Read More

Design and Simulation of 3D ZnO Nanowire Based Gas Sensors for Conductivity Studies

N. Gouthami, D. Parthiban, M. Alagappan, and G. Anju
PSG College of Technology
Coimbatore
Tamil Nadu, India

The objective of this paper is to design a 3D Gas Sensor for sensing Hydrogen gas and to increase the conductivity at nano level. In this novel design, nanorods act as the sensing layer. The sensitivity towards gas adsorption is found to be increased due to its high surface to volume ... Read More

Periodic Near-field Enhancement on Metal-Dielectric Interfacial Gratings at Optimized Azimuthal Orientation

M. Csete[1,2], X. Hu[1], A. Sipos[2], A. Szalai[2], A. Mathesz[2], and K. Berggren[1]
