Mr. Mueller said that the greatest steps toward ultra-miniature cellphones would come from combining MEMS devices with a phone's electronics in a single unit.
A simplified signal processing circuit is also given for the ultra-miniature GMR sensor system.
The development of ultra-miniature, wireless implantable sensors represents a parallel effort by the current research team.
Such ultra-miniature LC circuit arrays, smaller than an optical wavelength, may eventually represent the ultimate end point of photonic crystal miniaturization [1, 2].
Perhaps the new guy (Andy Popell, a co-founder of the company) will take OQO in some crazy genius new direction, like Ultra-Miniature Bumper Cars or something.
Finally experimental results show an angular accuracy of less than ±1° with only the residual offset compensation of ultra-miniature GMR sensor system is obtained.
In this study, a method for the modeling of ferromagnetic component of an ultra-miniature giant magneto resistance (GMR) sensor system is presented.
Blood pressure was monitored with a pressure analyzer connected to an ultra-miniature fiber optic sensor (SA Instruments Inc., Stony Brook, NY, USA) attached to a PE10 polyethylene catheter (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) inserted into the carotid artery.
Needle-guided ultra-miniature pressure sensors were inserted into liver tissue to measure parenchymal fluid pressure ex-situ in portal vein-perfused native (n=5) and decellularized (n=7) ferret liver, for flow rates from 3 12 mL/min.
The current study presents a CMOS ultra-miniature PTAT temperature sensing core and focuses on design principles, fabrication of a proof-of-concept, and characterization in a cryogenic environment.
Three issues are discussed: development of a closed-form solution that relates bearing geometry and material properties to rotational spring rate, a macro-scale pivot bearing prototype to validate the closed-form solution, and the use of a micro-assembly workstation to assemble an ultra-miniature bearing comprised of micro-scale components.
