This paper presents technology for the suppression of the mechanical coupling errors for an improved decoupled dual-mass micro-gyroscope (DDMG). The improved micro-gyroscope structure decreases the moment arm of the drive decoupled torque, which benefits the suppression of the non-ideal decoupled error. Quadrature correction electrodes are added to eliminate the residual quadrature error. The s...

The first micro-lensing event discovered towards the Small Magellanic Cloud by the MACHO collaboration (Alcock et al. 1997b) had a very long time scale, t0 = 123 days. The EROS collaboration (Palanque-Delabrouille et al. 1997) discovered a ∼ 2.5% brightness variation with a period P = 5.1 days. The OGLE collaboration (Udalski et al. 1997) established that the variation persists while the micro-...

Critical heat flux (CHF) was measured for a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink containing 21 parallel 215· 821 lm channels. Tests were performed with deionized water over a mass velocity range of 86–368 kg/ms, inlet temperatures of 30 and 60 C, at an outlet pressure of 1.13 bar. As CHF was approached, flow instabilities induced vapor backflow into the heat sink’s upstream plenum, which signif...

A method was developed for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of five metabolites of nitrofuran antibiotics, including 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), 5-morpholino-methyl-3-amino-2-oxazolidinone ( AMOZ ), semicarbazide ( SEM ), 1-aminohydantoin (AHD) and 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid hydrazide (DNSH) in aquatic products by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). T...

This paper proposes a fiber Bragg grating sensing-based micro-vibration sensor. The optical fiber has been directly treated as an elastomer to design the micro-vibration sensor, which possesses two FBGs. The mass is fixed on the middle of the fiber, and the vertical vibration of the mass has been converted into the axial tension/compression of the fiber. The principle of the sensor has been int...

A new cooling scheme is proposed where the primary working fluid flowing through a micro-channel heat sink is pre-cooled to low temperature using an indirect refrigeration cooling system. Cooling performance was explored using HFE 7100 as working fluid and four different micro-channel sizes. High-speed video imaging was employed to help explain the complex interrelated influences of hydraulic d...

An innovative magnetically levitated system design is presented in this paper. The proof mass, used as the seismic detection components for gyroscopes, is levitated by the presented micro-coil actuator so that the concerns that mechanical fatigue, asymmetry and misalignments, which are inevitably present in the traditional mechanical springs design, can be ruled out. In addition, the limited ra...

Vibrating micro- and nanomechanical mass sensors are capable of quantitatively determining attached mass from only the first three (two) measured cantilever (suspended) resonant frequencies. However, in aqueous solutions that are relevant to most biological systems, the mass determination is challenging because the quality factor (Q-factor) due to fluid damping decreases and, as a result, usual...
