A novel capacitive pressure sensor structure with high sensitivity and quasi-linear responseUne nouvelle structure de capteur de pression capacitif avec haute sensibilitée et réponse quasi-linéaire

This paper describes a new capacitive structure of pressure sensor to increase simultaneously the sensitivity and the linearity of the transducer. This structure contains two capacitors which change in response to pressure, but in opposite senses. To increase even more the sensitivity of each capacitor, the pressure sensitive diaphragm carries a central boss. The optimal position and the length of the boss are also calculated.

Temperature dependence of pressure broadening of NH3 perturbed by H2 and N2

The temperature dependence of pressure broadening of 134 rovibrational transitions of several branches in the ν₄ and 2ν₂ bands of ammonia perturbed by H₂ and N₂ has been measured using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. The temperature range covered during the experiments was between 235 and 296 K. The pressure-broadening linewidths were obtained using the method of multipressure fitting to the measured shapes of the lines. These broadenings were also calculated using a semiclassical model leading to a reasonable agreement with the observations and reproduces well the strong systematic experimental J and K quantum number dependencies. The retrieved values of the linewidths, along with those previously determined from the spectra at room temperature, were used to derive the temperature dependence of both H₂ and N₂ broadening of NH₃ lines. The broadening coefficients were shown to fit closely the well-known exponential law. For both experimental and theoretical results, the temperature exponent n has been obtained. Careful inspection of the experimental values shows that, contrary to the linewidths, the coefficient n is nearly K independent within each J multiplet. Also for a given J it does not seem to exhibit any noticeable variation with the type of rotational transition. On the other hand, the calculated n values exhibit a strong J and K systematic dependencies. n increases with K for a given J, decreases with J for a given K and are independent of the type of rotational transition.

Thermal characterisation of micro-hotplates used in sensor structures

Micro-hotplates operated at elevated temperature form the basic element in several sensor devices, such as integrated calorimetric or Taguchi-type gas sensors and flow-rate sensors. In all of these applications thermal properties of the sensing elements play a determining role in functional operation, therefore, their accurate characterisation is essential. The micro-hotplates investigated were developed by one side porous silicon micro-machining technology, forming Pt micro-filaments embedded in non-stoichiometric silicon nitride, and suspended across a cavity. This work is dealing with the accurate temperature detection in the micro-scale by different measurement methods for the deduction of steady state and transient thermal properties from the results. Transient properties of the structure were investigated by application of a simplified thermal equivalent circuit model.     

Analysis of a demodulation system for Fiber Bragg Grating sensors using two fixed filters

The analysis of a demodulation system for Fiber Bragg Grating sensors based on two fixed spectral filters has been carried out both theoretically and experimentally. Different system configurations were analyzed by modifying the spectral position of the filters as well as the optical power-level of the signal reaching the two photo-detectors. Measurements with integration times that varied from 0.01 to 1 s have been compared with the low-frequency limit predicted for long-term operation. Comparisons between simulated and experimental results show good agreement, and extrapolations indicate that it should be possible to achieve an operating spectrum range of the order of 7 nm, with uncertainties equivalent to less than 2 pm in measurements of the sensor peak position.

Effects of microstructure on the temperature dependence of relative initial permeability of NiCuZn ferrites

In the present work, ferrites with compositions of (Ni_0.27Zn_0.64Cu_x)Fe_1.98O₄ (x=0.1, 0.2) were prepared by conventional ceramic methods. The relationship between the microstructure and the temperature dependence of relative initial permeability was investigated. It was found that intergranular pores in the ferrites generate large demagnetizing fields, reducing the temperature dependence of the effective anisotropy field H_eff, and decreasing the temperature dependence of the relative initial permeability accordingly. However, intragranular pores pin the movement of domain walls. Compared with the permeability induced by domain wall motion, the permeability that resulted from the spin rotation is more sensitive to temperature. As a result, the relative initial permeability of ferrites becomes more sensitive to temperature with increasing micropores within grains.
