Thermoelectric temperature sensors by printing with a simple office inkjet printer

Chae H., Jung M., Soum V., Lee J., Kim H., Kim T., Cheong H., Kim H., Kim T., Jeon S., Kwon O-S, Shin K., Sogang University, KR

Recently, printing temperature sensors have been significantly demanded in the paper electronics, such as electronic skin for robots, polymer chain reaction for DNA amplification. Here we present printing thermoelectric temperature sensors by using a simple [...]

Silicon Photonic Temeprature Sensors

Ahmed Z., NIST, US

For the past century, industrial temperature measurements have relied on resistance measurement of a thin metal wire or filament whose resistance varies with temperature. Though resistance thermometers can routinely measure industrial temperatures with uncertainties of [...]

Single resonator GaN/Si SAW based temperature sensor

Muller A., Konstantinidis G., Dinescu A., Stefanescu A., Cismaru A., Buiculescu V., Giangu I., Stavrinidis A., Stavrinidis G., Stavrinidis A., Stavrinidis G., IMT-Bucharest, RO

The use of GaN based SAW type sensors has a major advantage for temperature measurements in GaN MMICs because of the possibility of monolithic integration of the temperature sensor and the possibility to place the [...]

Decoupled Temperature and Moisture Sensor Made of CNT-Based Nanomaterials on Flexible Plastic Substrates

Diao L., Lamb J., Gibbons S., Shih W-S, Giedd R., Brewer Science, US

The moisture sensor is based on resistance change in the IDE structure. For the prototyped humidity sensors, a resistance change of more than 20% was observed while monitoring a moisture increase of 15% at room [...]

A Multi-Purpose Optical MEMS Sensor for Harsh Environments

Nieva P., McGruer N., Adams G., University of Waterloo, CA

This paper presents the development and experimental analysis of a new multi-purpose optical MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensor for harsh environments. The sensor can be used as a displacement sensor, accelerometer, seismometer, and with some minor [...]
