A Microreactor System For Measuring Size Selectivity In Porous Wo3 Sensor Materials, Meng Lu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Our interest in studying reactions catalyzed by high surface area W03 powders is based on their potential application as the active material in sensors for low level (ppb) detection of flammable or toxic gases. A series of porous W03 powders with both meso- and micro-porosity have been synthesized by Waghe and Tripp. Preliminary results of the response of sensors fabricated from these materials indicated the possibility of size selectivity on the molecular scale. To provide support for the hypothesis of size selectivity and understand the reaction kinetics of alcohols over the new porous W03 powders for sensor …

Magnetic Flux Sensor For Hearing And Application, Crystal R. Kenney
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A 3-D microelectronic inductor has been fabricated and characterized for use as a magnetic flux sensor, also known as a telecoil, for a hearing aid application. This telecoil was fabricated in a 0.5pm CMOS process with three metal layers. The 3-D structure is more space efficient than conventional spiral inductors and allows for an optimal number of turns for the space available. The telecoil has an inductance of 80pH, a resistance of 34kR, and a capacitance of 275pF. The integrated telecoil acts as a magnetic flux sensor by picking up the magnetic signal fiom the phone speaker. The integrated telecoil …
