An automated design tool using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a and a genetic algorithm was developed to improve the performance of a MEMS resonant mass sensor. The device was comprised of a fixed-free poly-silicon micro-cantilever beam with electrostatic actuation and capacitive sensing. The ... Read More
In this paper we present a method to mitigate the effect of thermally-induced noise in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) through a force feedback circuit. Inherent noise-induced vibrations, which would be inconsiderable in macro scale, are considered as a limitation in micro- and ... Read More
The use of optical sensors in the industry is still growing. A transmission of signal from the sensors is mostly done by optical fibers. Switching the signals from optical paths may be done by using micromechanical silicon switches. The main advantage is an ability to transmit data from ... Read More
The need for high storage capacitors led to the development of polymer based capacitors. Polymers have high processability, mechanical flexibility, electrical breakdown strength and compatibility with printed circuit board (PCB) technologies; but usually have very low permittivity (K). ...

A new design of electrostatic comb drive actuator is presented in this paper by using different spring designs and with different folded beam lengths. An increased displacement of lateral comb drive actuator will subsequently be accomplished with the same actuation voltage. Stress ... Read More
The chemisorption and absorption of CO2 bubbles have been extensively studied and modeled in literature. CO2 gas is converted into aqueous CO2, which produces OH-, HCO3- and CO32- - ions in the solution. In this study, a 3D CO2 bubble column is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics, ... Read More
Electret condenser microphones are one of the most used transducers for a variety of applications. The engineer designing these cartridges must take into consideration many factors to create a design that meets its specifications. Most parts of the design have multiple constraints across ...

Spinal cord injury triggers an initial inflammatory response followed by scar tissue formation, hindering the repair of severed neural tracts and sensorimotor function.1 Injectable hydrogels consisting of a water-swollen polymer network can be engineered to mimic the environment of ... Read More
High voltage (HV) stability is an important requirement in many technical areas. The prevention of partial discharges or flashovers requires careful mechanical and electrical design of all components with high electric potential difference towards the surrounding. In the Semiconductor ... Read More
Among the various technological platforms, which are currently investigated as candidates for the implementation of large-scale multi-qubit quantum computers, spin qubits in silicon quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most attractive. Long spin lifetimes can indeed be achieved in ... Read More
