A Simulation Framework for Industrial Wireless Networks and Process Control Systems

May 6, 2016
Author(s)
Yongkang Liu, Richard Candell, Nader Moayeri, Kang B. Lee
Factory and process automation systems are increasingly employing information and communications technologies to facilitate data sharing and analysis in integrated control operations. Wireless connections provide flexible access to a variety of field

Detecting leaks in gas-filled pressure vessels using acoustic resonances

May 6, 2016
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover, James B. Mehl
We demonstrate that a leak from a large, unthermostatted pressure vessel into ambient air can be detected an order of magnitude more effectively by measuring the time dependence of the ratio p/f 2 than by measuring the ratio p/T. Here f is the resonance

Thermal characteristics of temperature-controlled electrochemical microdevices

March 31, 2016
Author(s)
Nicholas M. Contento, Stephen Semancik
The development of novel, miniaturized sensing systems is driven by the demand for better and faster chemical measurements with lower power consumption and smaller sample sizes. Emerging miniature sensors, or microsensors, also offer rapid thermal and

UV-assisted room-temperature chemiresistive NO2 sensor based on TiO2 thin film

December 24, 2015
Author(s)
Ting Xie, Nichole Sullivan, Kristen L. Steffens, Baomei Wen, Guannan Liu, Ratan K. Debnath, Albert Davydov, Romel D. Gomez, Abhishek Motayed
TiO2 thin film based, chemiresistive sensors for NO2 gas which operate at room temperature under ultraviolet (UV) illumination have been demonstrated in this work. The rf-sputter deposited and post-annealed TiO2 thin films have been characterized by atomic

High-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors fabricated from MoSi thin-films

December 22, 2015
Author(s)
Varun B. Verma, Boris Korzh, Felix Bussieres, Robert D. Horansky, Shellee D. Dyer, Adriana E. Lita, Igor Vayshenker, Francesco Marsili, Matthew D. Shaw, Hugo Zbinden, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We report on MoSi SNSPDs which achieved high system detection efficiency (87.1 ± 0.5% at 1542 nm) at 0.7 K and we demonstrate that these detectors can also be operated with saturated internal efficiency at a temperature of 2.3 K in a Gifford-McMahon

iNEMI Project on Automotive Electronic Material Challenges

September 3, 2015
Author(s)
Yaw S. Obeng
Automobiles are incorporating more and more electronics from various industry sectors that have not been optimally designed for use inside the vehicle passenger compartment. Reliability and cost are two key considerations when incorporating traditional

MEASURING PRESSURE AND VACUUM WITH LIGHT: A NEW PHOTONIC, QUANTUM-BASED, PRESSURE STANDARD

September 3, 2015
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Jacob E. Ricker, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Gregory E. Scace, Gregory F. Strouse, Douglas A. Olson, Donavon Gerty
The future of pressure and vacuum measurement will rely on lasers and Fabry-Perot optical cavities, and will be based on fundamental physics of light interacting with a gas. Light interacts at the quantum level with matter such that light travels at a

Advanced ACTPol Multichroic Polarimeter Array Fabrication Process for 150 mm Wafers

July 22, 2015
Author(s)
Shannon M. Duff, Gene C. Hilton, Johannes Hubmayr, James A. Beall, Jason E. Austermann, Daniel T. Becker, Jeffrey L. Van Lanen
Advanced ACTPol is a third generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) receiver, deploying in 2016 on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in the Atacama desert of Chile. Spanning five frequency bands from 25 – 280 GHz and having a total of nearly 5800

High-resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy with transition-edge sensors: present performance and future potential

May 1, 2015
Author(s)
W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joseph Fowler, Daniel Swetz, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Carl D. Reintsema, Douglas Bennett, Leila R. Vale, Gene C. Hilton, Dan Schmidt, Joel Ullom, Jens Uhlig, Ujjwal Mandal, Galen O'Neil, Luis Miaja Avila, Young I. Joe, wilfrid fullagar, Fredrick P. Gustafsson, Dharma Kurunthu, Villy Sundstrom
X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is a powerful element-selective tool to analyze the oxidation states of atoms in complex compounds, determine their electronic configuration, and identify unknown compounds in challenging environments. Until now the low

On-Fiber Plasmonic Interferometer for Multi-Parameter Sensing

April 20, 2015
Author(s)
Zhijian Zhang, Yongyao Chen, Haijun H. Liu, Hyungdae Bae, Douglas A. Olson, Miao Yu
We demonstrate a novel miniature multi-parameter sensing device based on a plasmonic interferometer fabricated on a fiber facet in the optical communication wavelength range. This device enables the coupling between surface plasmon resonance and plasmonic
