Water shortages, particularly evident in the state of California, emphasize the need for a better hydrologic understanding, and improved water management techniques. The majority of the state’s water originates in the Sierra Nevada as snow, melting throughout the year to meet the needs of various stakeholders. Current measurement techniques are unable to resolve variability of the snowpack at the basin scale, and snowmelt processes are not well captured by existing hydrologic models. A system-level solution is introduced to facilitate scientific understanding and water management...

Wireless Sensing Applications for Critical Industrial Environments

The widespread deployment of the World Wide Web over the past few decades has connected people globally. The next logical step in this evolution was to connect people to their environment. As public interest in the aging infrastructure grew, so did the desire to make this infrastructure safer and more environmentally friendly. This required the development of low-power wireless sensor networks to monitor and control this infrastructure, the so-called Internet of Things. With the introduction of low-power communication standards rooted in the Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH)...

1999

Surface micromachined four terminal relays have been fabricated, tested, and packaged. The relays are implemented in a foundry process with minimal post-processing. They show on resistances as low as 20mW, current carrying capacities as highas 0.48 Amps, and lifetimes in the millions of cycles while hot switching 80mA. These devices are thus competitive with commercial macroscopic relays.

Achieving these high performance and reliability levels required exploring the physics and tribology of microrelays and using novel physical experiments to outline a...

Liwei Lin
2001
A method for performing interventional surgery has been developed. Transvascular delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents into perivascular space is desirable for various cardiovascular treatments and applications. The dosing of perivascular space requires the perpendicular actuation of a microneedle to slide through the layers...

Mechanical Analysis and Design of Vibratory Micromachined Gyroscopes

2001
Vibratory micromachined gyroscopes typically exhibit certain undesirable behaviors that impede the angular rate measurement, such as nonlinearity, cross-axis sensitivity, scale factor offset, and quadrature error. These errors have sources in both the mechanical and electrical ...
