Modeling of capacitance and sensitivity of a MEMS pressure sensor
In this paper modeling of capacitance and sensitivity for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor is presented. In capacitive sensor the sensitivity is proportional to deflection and capacitance changes versus pressure. Therefore first the diaphragm displacement, capacitance and sensitivity of sensor with square diaphragm have been modeled and then simulated using finite element method (FEM). It can b...
متن کاملLaboratory Characterization of a Commercial Capacitance Sensor for Estimating Permittivity and Inferring Soil Water Content
Ring-capacitor sensors are used widely for real-time estimation of volumetric soil water content u from measured resonant frequency fr, which is directly affected by the bulk soil permittivity e. However, the relationship fr(e) requires improved quantification. We conducted laboratory experiments to characterize the response of the Sentek EnviroSMART sensor system for a full range of e values f...
متن کاملA Variable Capacitance Touch Sensor
Tactile feedback is useful in performing many robot manipulator tasks. This paper describes the simple touch sensor used on the robot manipulator at the Coordinated Science Laboratory. This sensor has a range of 1 to 80 ounces with a resolution of about 0.2 ounces at the low end of the scale. It is inexpensive, easy to construct, and relatively free of hysteresis, drift and fatigue. Also, the o...
متن کاملDesign, Fabrication, and Impedance Characterization of a Capacitance-Based Salinity Sensor for Marine Applications
We report on the fabrication and electrochemical impedance characterization of a parallel plate capacitance sensor for ocean water salinity monitoring. The standard printed circuit board PCB fabricated and assembled sensor shows excellent response to changes in salinity with a sensitivity of 3.3 k /PSU. Use of the standard PCB process, necessitated by the requirement of low cost and ease of fab...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
