Abstract

From the Publisher:From the electronic nose and the intelligent ear to the modern ink jet nozzle, the applications of smart devices incorporating microsensors are increasing rapidly. Microsensors are miniature devices that convert a non-electrical quantity into an electrical signal. By integrating a microsensor with a microprocessor, a smart sensor is produced. Further integration with a microactuator produces a microsystem with multifunctional electrical and mechanical components known as micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS).
