Bøger i Handbook of Sensors and Actuators serien

Focuses on developments in the instrumentation for sending voltages and currents. This book covers topics such as: measurements of biocurrents, the increased speed of the components for data taking, and, testing of computers and integrated circuits where the measurement of voltage and current variations on a small geometrical scale is necessary.

Explores three major areas in which thick film technology contributes as a sensor technology, namely: hybrid circuits for signal processing (in combination with either thick-film sensing elements or transducing elements derived from other technologies), creation of architectural structures, and transducing elements derived from thick-film pastes.

Divided into ten sections, this book describes the principles and technology of Micro Mechanical Systems. It also provides an introduction to the historical background and the parallels to microelectronics, reviewing the motivation for microsystems, and discussing microphysics and design and the evolution from microcomponents to microsystems.

Part of the "Handbook of Sensors and Actuators" series, this title features detailed information regarding the physical mechanisms of the origin of magnetosensitivity, the geometry and design of devices, operating modes, basic parameters and methods for their determination, and the incorporation of transducers in circuits and smart solutions.

Focusing on the scientific basis of the technique of semiconductor chemical sensors, this book concentrates on the usage of semiconductor sensors in precision physico-chemical studies. It explains the physical and chemical principles underlying the semiconductor sensor method. It is intended for scientists and engineers.

Divided into two parts, this book describes the evolution of mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) imager structures based upon published patents and patent applications. It focuses on the steps of manufacturing and structures of imagers. The first part covers monolithic arrays, and the second part describes hybrid arrays.
