“High-performance long wave infrared bolometer fabricated by wafer
bonding”. It will be held by Dr. Adriana Lapadatu, Senior Engineer at
Sensonor. According to Dr. Lapadatu; “A novel microbolometer with peak
responsivity in the long wave infrared region of the electromagnetic
radiation is under development. It is a focal plane array of pixels with
a 25μm pitch, based on monocrystalline Si/SiGe quantum wells as IR
sensitive material. The novelty of the proposed 3D process integration
comes from the choice of several of the materials and key processes
involved, which allow a high fill factor and provide improved
transmission/absorption properties. Together with the high TCR and low
1/f noise provided by the thermistor material, they will lead to
bolometer ... |

New
digital flow meter for medical gases |
| |
 Sensirion:
The feeding of special gases such as nitrous oxide, xenon, carbon
monoxide etc., is of increasing importance in patient ventilation and
anaesthesia. As a consequence, it is increasingly necessary to be able
to measure smaller and smaller gas-streams precisely and reliably. With
the SFM4100, custom-tailored for integration into anaesthetic equipment,
Sensirion AG is responding to this trend in ventilation therapy. The
SFM4100 precision flow meter for air and other non-aggressive gases has
an impressively wide dynamic measuring range up to 20 slm. The sensor
unit has an I2C interface, provides a fully calibrated and
temperature-compensated output signal, and operates reliably at
pressures of up to 7 bar. Its outstanding long-term stability and
freedom from drift make the new SFM4100 first choice for products that
require a high rate of deployment with long service intervals. Using the
‘Multigas’ feature provided, calibrations for various different gases
can be integrated in a single sensor. ... |

SENSOR+TEST 2010 - Exhibitors show
applications on focal topic energy efficiency |
| |
 AMA
Association for Sensor Technology: Cutting across all areas of
industry, the subject of energy efficiency is at the very top of the
agenda. It is the inherent cost reduction that makes optimized
utilization of energy so attractive. Nevertheless, and regardless of the
process involved, an increase in efficiency is only possible when all
process parameters are sufficiently identified and quantified – in other
words once they are measured. Sensor and measuring technologies are thus
the most important key to greater energy efficiency. Barely three months
before the start of the annual SENSOR+TEST, numerous exhibitors have
announced interesting applications and novelties on this focal topic.
Energy in our modern industrial society is basically required in two
forms: as heat and as motion energy. The utilization of energy optimized
for maximum efficiency extends from its generation over its transmission
to the end user. Sensors and measuring systems provide important data on
the energy conversion and transport processes along the way. In power
plants, for instance, this data comprises
temperature,
pressure, and
flow from ever more process areas ... |
