Vibration experiments are conducted at high acceleration environment over wide frequency from 20 to 2400聽Hz where the charge sensitivity of sensors can reach 10.336聽pC/g @f=聽2400聽Hz. Subsequently, the charge se
Mamatimin Abbas, Guillaume Wantz, Lionel Hirsch, Isabelle Dufour & Cédric Ayela The growth of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based sensors on the electronic market is forecast to be invigorated soon by the development of a new branch of MEMS-based sensors made of organic ma...
What Level of Vibration Sensors Are Commonly Used in CbM Systems?Companies that stand to lose high amounts of revenue due to unplanned downtime will continue to rely on wired solutions as they offer the most reliable and accurate performance possible, based on 12-bit to 20-bit resolution ...
Abstract Macro to nanoscale energy scavengers is emerging as a promising solution to tackle the problems of energy shortage caused due to increasing world population and limited availability of energy resources. The capability of the miniaturized scavengers to harvest ambient energy like vibrations, mechan...
Piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters as an autonomous power source for various types of sensors, actuators and MEMS devices have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Traditional MEMS-based PZT single beam vibration energy harvester has low voltage output (usually <1 V) which causes recti...
Currently there are no chip-scale, compact accelerometers that meet these high-sensitivity and low-bandwidth requirements. The fundamental challenges in building such a device include designing very high sensitivity displacement sensors with low thermo-mechanical noise and minimizing 1/f noise. A ...

MEMS sensors have been proven to be an effective medium for sensors combined with on-chip electronic circuitry. It can therefore function not only as a portable sensor chip but can also be linked as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) network to achieve real-time and remote high-sensitivity...
this rebound acceleration is equivalent to a sensitive accelerationaapplied to the device. In practice, the accelerationais usually a half-sine wave with the peak valuea0and frequencyw0. During this rebound process in the sensitive direction, the differential equation of motion can be expressed as...
the system comprises a layer of piezo-electric material coupled to the micromirror. The piezo-electric layer receives an electrical signal at the same frequency as the oscillating mirror. In still another embodiment, when the mirror warps due to inertial forces from high speed bending, the voltage...
