Abstract We investigated the possibility of using a layer quantum dots (QDs) deposited on microparticle surface for measurement charge acquires when immersed into plasma. To that end, we performed calculations Stark shift photoluminescence spectrum QDs caused by fluctuating local electric field. In our calculations, assumed plasma-delivered surplus electrons to be distributed microparticle. Acc...

Microsensor wireless networks and implanted biomedical devices have emerged as exciting new application domains. These applications are highly energy constrained and require flexible, integrated, energy-efficient ADC modules that can ideally operate at the same supply voltage as digital circuits. In many applications, the performance requirements are quite modest (100s kS/s). This paper present...

Microsensor technology is the most advanced area in the eld of microsystem technology. However, due to the typically low signal-to-noise ratios of these microsensors it is necessary to employ statistical methods for the data analysis of these systems. Taking a surface acoustic wave sensor array as an example two applications of statistical data analysis in this eld are presented. First, it is s...

Recent advances in processor, memory and radio technology have enabled cheap nodes capable of sensing, communication and processing. Networks of distributed microsensors are rapidly emerging as a feasible solution to a wide range of data gathering applications. However, the key impediments to successful deployment of microsensor nodes are their energy and longevity constraints. We propose a qua...

The detection limit of a fiber-optic microsensor array was investigated for simultaneous detection of multiple DNA sequences. A random array composed of oligonucleotide-functionalized 3.1-microm-diameter microspheres on the distal face of a 500-microm etched imaging fiber was monitored for binding to fluorescently labeled complementary DNA sequences. Inherent sensor redundancy in the microarray...
