Interacting with digital devices has become part of daily life, whether in consumer products, services, or industrial applications. Most display-based devices provide user interactivity through touch sensing via a touch panel. As the number of device features increases, it demands an ... En savoir plus

Abstract: In order to study thermal conditions and air flows in an office room, 3D FEM simulation model was created. The room is enclosed by walls, floor and ceiling which thermal characteristics are specified by typical heat transfer coefficients and specific heat capacities. Space ... En savoir plus

This paper proposes a solution method using piezoelectric sensors to detect an anomaly, such as a deformation caused by a crack or fracture, in a pipeline. COMSOL Multiphysics, a simulation software, is used to induce anomalies of different magnitudes to a pipe and record the data from ... En savoir plus

With the use of COMSOL Multiphysics®, a full characterization of star shaped geometry structures of silver-zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO-Au) study is presented. Analysis with different thicknesses of gold cover, as well as with different lengths and additional arrangements of the structure have ... En savoir plus

We present the model of THz sensor based on thermoelectric Bi-Sb thin films. The model is based on an electromagnetic heating interface and combines radiofrequency and heat transfer modules. The studied frequency was 0.14 THz, irradiation power 30 mW. Films had a thickness of 150 nm and ... En savoir plus

This paper presents the design and simulation of novel micrometer-scale capacitive temperature sensors, which could serve as a component for miniaturized wireless sensor nodes for the internet of things requiring structural flexibility and optical transparency. The proposed sensor design ... En savoir plus

A fast, high-sensitivity detector is required for studies of environmentally relevant gases. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), an absorption spectroscopy technique in which absorption is detected as sound, is explored as a possible solution. A tuning-fork based PAS sensor is modeled ...
