Computational Analysis of Electrical Stimulation Devices to Promote Wound Healing

Anand A., Liu K., Sukhotskiy V., Verma A., Fournier J., Gellman G., Bacon W., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, Garwood Medical Devices, LLC, US

The treatment of wounds is a fundamental and major challenge in health care. Chronic wounds (e.g. diabetic) are particularly problematic and pervasive, afflicting approximately 6 million patients in the US alone at an annual cost [...]

A New Pressure Threshold Sensor Based on Nonlinear MEMS Oscillator

Alsaleem F., Hasan M.H., University of Nebraska Lincoln, US

Pressure sensing is one of the earliest applications of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems MEMS. Changing the pressure sensing element (such as capacitive and optical) size to the microscale has created opportunities to reduce power consumption and production costs [...]

High Sensitivity MEMS Pressure Sensor

Juetten M., Iowa State University Research Foundation, US

Summary: ISU researchers have developed a high-sensitivity microelectromechanical system (MEMS), graphene-based pressure sensor that outperforms any existing MEMS-based small footprint pressure sensor. Description: ISU researchers have developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) graphene-based pressure sensor realized [...]

A new humidity sensor based on the effect of water content on a capacitive MEMS oscillator’s thermo-electrical characteristics

Alsaleem F., University of Nebraska Lincoln, US

Accurate humidity measurement is essential in commercial and industrial applications such as HVAC systems and microelectronics manufacturing. Typical humidity sensors suffer from degradation over time, consume a relatively high amount of power, and have limited [...]

MEMS Inertial Sensors for Cyber-Physical Systems: Trustworthy Sensing, Secure Communication, Data Fusion and Information Control

Herlihy L., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This paper reports the experimental results for the inertial measurement units (IMUs). Consistent models are found. The documented findings and models can be used in the descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analyses. Our findings are substantiated [...]

QUARTZ MEMS OSCILLATORS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE NAVIGATION AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Chang D.T., Yoon Y., Moyer H.P., Nguyen H.D., HRL Laboratories, LLC, US

Quartz MEMS resonators are attractive for use in oscillators for stable frequency control applications in navigation and wireless communication systems by virtue of their reduced cost, size, weight, and power (CSWaP), combined with the potential [...]

Spintronics: Recent developments on ultra-low-energy, area-efficient, and fast spin-devices and spin-circuits

Roy K., Purdue University, US

Electronics harnessed by electron's spin-based counterpart, so-called spintronics, has been widely studied in the context of nanomagnets. I will speak on the recent developments on ultra-low-energy, area-efficient, and fast spintronic devices, in particular on electric [...]
