This paper reports on an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester that utilizes a novel method of energy pumping based frequency up-conversion to effectively harvest energy from a broad range of low frequency (<18Hz) ambient vibrations. Energy from low frequency vibrations is absorbed by a low frequency bounded resonator and subsequently pumped, in the form of pulses, to a high frequency resonator...
The present work explores the potential applicability of the Lorentz force actuation of a micromachined U-shaped cantilever device for 3-D vector magnetic field measurements in a broad range of frequencies. The structures simulated are made entirely from aluminum and designed using CMOS fabrication technology and bulk micromachining in CoventorWare simulation environment. Analytical models describing...
In this paper, we present the simulation results of a high temperature MEMS micro-hotplate. The electro-thermo-mechanical behaviors of micro- hotplates (MHP) have been simulated using CoventorWare. In the simulation, the effects of various thicknesses of the silicon nitride (Si3N4) membrane layer on the temperature, mechanical deflection and power consumption of the MHP are evaluated. The effect of...
Sensor technology has drawn a tremendous amount of attention because of its ability to provide fast feedback on the environment. This has led to intensive research activities worldwide to develop new sensing materials and technologies. With the advancement in nanotechnology, miniaturized sensors with reduced weight, lower power consumption, and low cost can be realized. In order to realize this potential,...
