Diabetes is one of the most severe health diseases in world. More than 150 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes caused by an abnormal glucose concentration their blood and tissues. The analysis levels body significant, primarily due to mellitus. Therefore, accurately detecting crucial for diagnosing, treating, managing diabetes. Diabetic patients can self-manage condition monitoring le...

Advances in micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS), coupled with new optical devices, present enormous possibilities in the areas of sensors and energy harvesting. Marrying the MEMs and optical sensors (such as IR detectors) with smart electronics can also open new doors in novel machine vision technology such as neuromorphic spectrally agile and retinal sensors. Further, nano-retina sensor...

This paper reports a low-cost, high-sensitivity CMOS-MEMS piezoresistive accelerometer with large proof mass. In the device fabricated using ON Semiconductor 0.5 μm CMOS technology, an inherent CMOS polysilicon thin film is utilized as the piezoresistive sensing material. A full Wheatstone bridge was constructed through easy wiring allowed by the three metal layers in the 0.5 μm CMOS technology...

Recently, consumer applications have dramatically created the demand for low-cost and compact gyroscopes. Therefore, on the basis of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, many gyroscopes have been developed and successfully commercialized. A MEMS gyroscope consists of a MEMS device and an electrical circuit for self-oscillation and angular-rate detection. Since the MEMS device and c...

We report on a study of the sensitivity of silicon MEMS to proton radiation and mitigation strategies. MEMS can degrade due to ionizing radiation (electron-hole pair creation) and non-ionizing radiation (displacement damage), such as electrons, trapped and solar protons, or cosmic rays, typically found in a space environment. Over the past few years there has been several reports on the effects...

This paper presents work toward the development of a novel MEMS sensing technology for AUVs. The proposed lateral line-inspired sensor system is a highdensity array of pressure sensors for measuring hydrodynamic disturbances. By measuring pressure variations on a vehicle surface, a dense pressure sensor array will allow the AUV to detect, classify, and locate nearby obstacles and optimize its m...
