The SENOOK™ sensor platforms are developed using the top-down approach for operation in extreme environment, enhanced functionality, low power consumption, reproducibility and provide opportunities in batch processing. The SENOOK™ drives its strength in its ability to fabricate many devices in parallel within a batch process insuring cost savings. SENOOK™ has the ability of self powering due to piezo action and the wireless networking capability. SENOOK™ – Salient Features 1. Developed using the top-down approach for operation in extreme environment 2. Enhanced functionality 3. Power consumption reduced to 1/10 by the MEMS/NEMS based sensors fabrication protocols 4. Information embedded in the frequency or time parameters of the signal 5. Nanocrystalline diamond used as a isolation and heat sink 6. Reproducibility 7. Advantageous in batch processing 8. Packaged with Multi-Chip Module (MCM) technique
SENOOK™ Opportunities and Scope
1. Sensors can be integrated with fiber optics network for effective data transmission 2. No Electromagnetic Interference 3. Sensor miniaturization enable to fit the sensors directly on the optic fiber 4. Applications in aerospace, aviation, mines, and oil & gas industry
Standard Sensor Management Protocols 1. Is an electronic device including: - sensing element, - Interfacing - signal processing - one- or several intelligent functions as self- testing - self-identification - self-validation or self-adaptation 2. Based on MEMS/NEMS resonant phenomenon 3. Information embedded in the frequency or time parameters of the signal
