We present a label-free (bio)chemical analysis platform that uses all-electrical silicon nanowire sensor arrays integrated with a small volume microfluidic flow-cell for real-time (bio)chemical analysis and detection. The integrated sensing platform contains an automated multi-sample injection system that eliminates erroneous sensor responses from sample switching due to flow rate fluctuations ...

The ability to telemetrically measure strain is important in many aspects of daily life which brings important scientific and technological challenges in many sectors such as civil engineering, aircraft modeling, etc..,. Another unrealized, application area is human medicine and healthcare. MEMS (Micro ElectroMechanical System) technology for Radio Frequency applications has emerged in recent y...

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as artificial antibodies have received considerable scientific attention in the past years in the field of (bio)sensors since they have unique features that distinguish them from natural antibodies such as robustness, multiple binding sites, low cost, facile preparation and high stability under extreme operation conditions (higher pH and temperature values,...

This paper presents the development and validation of a novel multi-sensory wearable system (Personal Automatic Cigarette Tracker v2 or PACT2.0) for monitoring of cigarette smoking in free-living conditions. The contributions of the PACT2.0 system are: (1) the implementation of a complete sensor suite for monitoring of all major behavioral manifestations of cigarette smoking (lighting events, h...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging sensors realize label free, real-time, highly sensitive, quantitative, high throughput biological interaction monitoring and the binding profiles from multi-analytes further provide the binding kinetic parameters between different bio-molecules. In the past two decades, SPR imaging sensors found rapid increasing applications in fundamental biological stud...

Underwater environment is the new frontier for major future discovery for the benefits of the world at large. The vastness of the oceans mirrored the vast potentials that lie beneath it. In order for scientist and researchers to explore these vast resources, newer and better sensing technology is pertinent. Of course, any sensor module would not be of any use if there are no reliable platforms ...

The paper proposes a new approach to model a bio-environmental surveillance network as synchronous network systems, systems consist of components running simultaneously. In the network, bio-environmental factors compose a physical system of which executions proceed concurrently in synchronous rounds. This system is synchronized with a synchronous wireless sensor network, the observation network...

Self-organization has become an intensely researched area, being considered the new control system science. Different self-organizing algorithms (bio and non-bio inspired) have been developed by scientist worldwide with general applicability in autonomous systems, multi-robot systems, autonomic networking, sensor and actor networks and mobile ad hoc networks. This paper presents a comparative a...

This paper proposes and describes a design of an integrated refractive index sensor for (bio-) chemical sensing applications based on a U-shape bend waveguide structure. The proposed structure is formed by connecting four-bend waveguides and optimized using beam propagation method so that the output power has a function of refractive index of measurand liquid. The results show that the designed...

In this study, we wolud be developed the fuzzy controlled PGO that controlled the flexion and the extension of each PGO's joint using the bio-signal and FSR sensor. The PGO driving system is to couple the right and left sides of the orthosis by specially designed hip joints and pelvic section. This driving system consists of the orthosis, sensor, control system. An air supply system of muscle i...
