this paper studies pull-in behavior of a bio-mass sensor with a cantilevered cnt actuated electrostatically considering rippling deformation. although this phenomenon can change the behavior of cnt remarkably, its effect on the performance of a cnt-based mass sensor is not investigated yet. this investigation is based on modified euler-bernoulli beam theory and rippling effect is entered the eq...

This paper examines the pull-in behavior of a bio-mass sensor with a cantilevered CNT actuated electrostatically by considering rippling deformation. Although this phenomenon can remarkably change the behavior of CNT, its effect on the performance of a CNT-based mass sensor has not been investigated thus far. This investigation is based on modified Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and rippling effec...

one of the bio-sensing mechanisms is mechanical. rather than measuring shift in resonance frequency, we adopt to measure the change in spring constant due to adsorption, as one of the fundamental sensing mechanism. this study explains  determination of spring constant of a surface functionalized micro machined micro cantilever, which resonates in a trapezoidal cavity-on silicon wafer, with the ...

this paper presents density functional theory and non-equilibrium green’s function based first principles calculations to explore the sensing property of adenine and thymine based hetero-junction chins for ammonia and phosphine gas molecules. this modeling and simulation technique plays an important and crucial role in the fast growing semiconductor based nanotechnology field. the hetero-juncti...

Healthcare providers are facing growing challenges in patient diagnostics and information gathering due to inadequate infrastructure and insufficient number of healthcare professionals to perform such operations. The traditional way of patient information gathering is largely based on text and dependent on self-report surveys and infrequent doctor consultations. The proposed bio-sensor based fr...

In this study, a wireless bio-radar sensor was designed to detect a human heartbeat and respiration signals without direct skin contact. In order to design a wireless bio-radar sensor quantitatively, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the baseband output of a sensor should be calculated. Therefore, we analyzed the SNR of the wireless bio-radar sensor, considering the signal power attenuation in...

In recent years, the interest in integrated microfluidic systems has been steadily growing. In these systems (for instance (bio)chemical and DNA analysis and synthesis devices), accurate dosing of liquids and/or gases is of great importance. To achieve this, accurate (mass) flow sensing is necessary. This project is dedicated to the development of a new micro Coriolis flow sensor. The inherent ...
