Design and Simulation of a Fluidic Micro-Bio-Sensor Based on Resonator Array
In this paper, a fluidic biosensor with possibility to fabricate by Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is proposed for biomedical mass detection and lab-on-chip applications. This is designed by electromechanical coupling of harmonic micromechanical resonators with harmonic springers as a mechanical resonator array. It can disperse mechanical wave along the array by electrostati...
متن کاملDesign and Application of a Photoacoustic Sensor for Monitoring the Laser Generated Stress Waves in Optical Fiber
Measurement of stress transients generated by a 400ns pulsed HF laser in an infrared fluoride glass fiber has been made using fast time – response piezoelectric film transducer. Acoustic signals up to 12 mV with frequencies ranging in megahertz generated by 21 mJ laser pulse when passed through the fiber axis in the linear region. It is shown that useful information such as onset of non - linea...
متن کاملEnergy-Saving in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Optimization Sink Movement Control
A sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. Sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. Energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. Direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. Previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...
