This paper presents a study on the design and analysis of capacitively based Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) applications. This sensor consists of Parylene diaphragm, which is driven by a magnetic field and situated inside a micro chamber. A biocompatible sensing solution fills the micro chamber, which is separated from its surroundings by ...

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) is the technology of the very small, and merges at the nano-scale into "Nanoelectromechanical" Systems (NEMS) and Nanotechnology. MEMS are also referred to as micro machines, or Micro Systems Technology (MST). MEMS are separate and distinct from the hypothetical vision of Molecular nanotechnology or Molecular Electronics. MEMS generally range in size from a...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) impart a potential application in a wide range in microand nano-industrial world. Classic properties such as free recovery or pseudo-elasticity still needed further specifications in smart materials or micro-actuators applications. Nowadays, a primary goal is achieved that these materials offer a price-competitive advantage compared to other functional materials desig...

Effects of surface chemical modification with sodium silicate on the gas-sensing properties of F-doped SnO2 gas sensor designed and fabricated employing micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology were investigated. Gas sensing properties of the sensor were checked against combustible gases like H2, CO, CH4 and C3H8 at a heater voltage of 0.7 V. The H2 sensitivity of the surface modified ...

We have proposed a unified approach to the modeling and study of developments in the field of MEMS and Nanotechnology and its application in futuristic Nano-enabled Cells. We have proposed a novel to approach reliability of MEMS enabled fuel cells. We know that reliability and accurate prediction of properties in nano domains remains a major challenge where still theories are being developed to...

We report a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)-based microbial fuel cell (MFC) that produces a high power density. The MFC features 4.5-μL anode/cathode chambers defined by 20-μm-thick photo-definable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. The MFC uses a Geobacter-enriched mixed bacterial culture, anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) that produces a conductive biofilm matrix. The MEMS MFC generated ...
