Book Principles and Applications of Ubiquitous Sensing

Download or read book Principles and Applications of Ubiquitous Sensing written by Waltenegus Dargie and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications which use wireless sensors are increasing in number. The emergence of wireless sensor networks has also motivated the integration of a large number of small and lightweight nodes which integrate sensors, processors, and wireless transceivers. Existing books on wireless sensor networks mainly focus on protocols and networks and pay little attention to the sensors themselves which the author believes is the main focus. Without adequate knowledge of sensors as well as how they can be designed, realized and used, books on wireless sensor networks become too theoretical and irrelevant. The purpose of this book is to intimately acquaint readers with the technique of sensing (resistive, capacitive, inductive, magnetic, inertial, etc.) and existing sensor technologies. It also discusses how the sensors are used in a wide application domain and how new sensors can be designed and used in a novel way.

Book The New Superconducting Electronics

Download or read book The New Superconducting Electronics written by H. Weinstock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on the proceedings of the NATO-sponsored Advanced Studies Institute (ASn on The New Superconducting Electronics (held 9-20 August 1992 in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire USA). The contents herein are intended to provide an update to an earlier volume on the same subject (based on a NATO ASI held in 1988). Four years seems a relatively short time interval, and our title itself, featuring The New Superconducting Electronics, may appear somewhat pretentious. Nevertheless, we feel strongly that the ASI fostered a timely reexamination of the technical progress and application potential of this rapid-paced field. There are, indeed, many new avenues for technological innovation which were not envisioned or considered possible four years ago. The greatest advances by far have occurred with regard to oxide superconductors, the so-called high transition-temperature superconductors, known in short as HTS. These advances are mainly in the ability to fabricate both (1) high-quality, relatively large-area films for microwave filters and (2) multilayer device structures, principally superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS) Josephson junctions, for superconducting-quantum-interference-device (SQUID) magnetometers. Additionally, we have seen the invention and development of the flux-flow transistor, a planar three-terminal device. During the earlier ASI only the very first HTS films with adequate critical-current density had just been fabricated, and these were of limited area and had high resistance for microwave current.

Book SQUID Sensors

Download or read book SQUID Sensors written by H. Weinstock and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book willbcof value to anyone who wishes to consider the use of SQUID-based magnetic sensing for anyone of a number of practical applications. The focus here is to examine in detail how SQUID technology is used and how. the results of the measurements obtained can be interpreted to provide useful information in a variety of real-world applications. The concentration is on those areas that have received the most attention, namely bioma~etism and nondestructive evaluation, but. the topics chosen include as well, geophysics, underwater ordnance detection, accelerometry and a few somewhat more exotic applications. To provide a reasonable perspective. an attempt has been made to consider competing technologies for most applications, and in some cases to consider how SQUID-based technology may be integrated with other technologies to provide an optimum total-system configuration. It is also the intention of the editor, that this book will be of major value to those scientists and engineers who will be required to build both the essential components and complete cryogenic SQUID systems which will be utilized in the various applications presented. Thus, there is a comprehensive review of the principles of SQUID operation, and a detailed exposition on the fabrication of high-temperature-superconducting (HTS) SQUIDs. Although the market is currently dominated by low-temperature superconducting (L TS) SQUIDs, it is reasonably certain that in the near future HTS SQUIDs will take over in most situations.

Book High Temperature Superconducting Nano Quantum Interference Devices and Magnetometer

Download or read book High Temperature Superconducting Nano Quantum Interference Devices and Magnetometer written by Jianxin Lin and published by . This book was released on 2023-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our intent is to offer the reader an in-depth, systematic treatment of high-temperature superconducting material (HTS), superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and their many applications. The book is organized into five chapters, the first being devoted to the applications of superconductors from macroscopic to microscopic, ranging from superconducting bulk, superconducting film, superconducting nanowire to Josephson junction. In second chapter, the present work attempts to review the various known types of weak links including the nano-wire, bi-epitaxial, bi-crystal, step-edge, and beam irradiation-based high-Tc Junctions. Chapter 3 is concerned with the basic theory and fabrication process for high-Tc YBCO nanoSQUID. Meanwhile, the issue of device degradation and 1/f noise are discussed. Subsequently, in Chapter 4, we review the development of two different types of YBCO magnetometers and high-Tc SQUID gradiometers. In conclusion, with the rapid development of quantum sensing, quantum communication and quantum computing, the Josephson junctions, the core elements of superconducting quantum circuits, are expected to more profound impact on our lives.
