Heart monitoring using microsensors
ثبت نشده
چکیده
"Requirements for a sensor that will be sewn into the human heart are completely different than for those found in mobile phones today. The device needs to tolerate other stress factors, as well as meet a number of clinical requirements. The greatest challenge is to make everything small enough so as not to puncture the heart", explained Associate Professor and research leader Kristin Imenes of the Department of Micro and Nanosystem Technology (IMST) at USN.

ISFET Based Microsensors for Environmental Monitoring
The use of microsensors for in-field monitoring of environmental parameters is gaining interest due to their advantages over conventional sensors. Among them microsensors based on semiconductor technology offer additional advantages such as small size, robustness, low output impedance and rapid response. Besides, the technology used allows integration of circuitry and multiple sensors in the sa...
متن کاملPower Aware Methodologies for Wireless Microsensors
Microsensors are used in monitoring functions in several hazardous and non reachable places. At such places human intervention is impossible so battery replacement is impossible and hence nodes do not have access to unlimited energy. Thus, designing fault-tolerant wireless microsensor networks with long system lifetimes can be challenging. In order to prolong system lifetimes, energy-efficient ...
متن کاملMultimodal probe based on ISFET electrochemical microsensors for in-situ monitoring of soil nutrients in agriculture
We report the design of a silicon chip dedicated to the in-situ monitoring of soil nitrogen cycle in wheat crop. Our study shows that ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) microsensors are suitable for quick on-site or long-term analysis of nutrients measured directly in soil as opposed to soil extracts analysis. Our pH-ISFET recorded soil pH for six months with results in good accordan...
متن کاملReal-Time Remote Monitoring of Temperature and Humidity Within a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Using Flexible Sensors
This study developed portable, non-invasive flexible humidity and temperature microsensors and an in situ wireless sensing system for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The system integrated three parts: a flexible capacitive humidity microsensor, a flexible resistive temperature microsensor, and a radio frequency (RF) module for signal transmission. The results show that the capacit...
