MEMS-T-Lab – 44 a new test lab for MEMS-based micro systems Micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) are no more than a few micrometres in size. They unite sensors, actuators and control electronics onto a single silicon chip in a compact arrangement and are formed direct on the wafer: a method developed for MEMS production which originates in semiconductor manufacture. One use of these tiny systems is to control inkjet printer heads, another is as the microphone in a smartphone, another is as a sensor for the orientation of a…

EFSUES – energy-efficient airports Partners to IMMS and Erfurt-Weimar Airport with the sensor nodes developed in the EFSUES project. They will make it possible for airport Issues addressed aprons to be operated more safely and efficiently in the future. Photograph: IMMS. 32 If you are an air passenger and waiting for a plane that has been delayed, you may well be annoyed. Often you will also pay out of pocket at the individual level. At the level of a big airport, the costs associated with planes spending too long on the apron can run…

GreenSense – enabling technology for smart, resourceefficient, energy-efficient sensor networks Setting up vibrometric analysis in the IMMS Mechatronics Lab for the One of the main societal challenges of the 21st century is the search for new regenerative energy sources. At the same time, the transition from fossil and nuclear power to green energy supply must be accompanied by efforts to utilize available energy and environmental resources more responsibly than in the past. Any manufacturing, transport or facility operation processes…
