This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...

A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-compatible process was used in the design and fabrication of a suspended membrane microfluidic heat flux sensor with a thermopile for the purpose of measuring the heat flow rate. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, a low pass filter, and a lock-in amplifier can yield a resolutio...

The selection of the optimal sensors to use in an electronic nose is fundamental to the success or failure of any particular olfactory system in a certain application. The experimentation and characterization of gas sensors require complex electronic noses designed for the specific sensor array under test. The absence of design generalizations and standard interfaces in artificial chemical sens...
