sMobiliTy Field-tested energy-optimised wireless sensor solution for traffic applications Installation of a wireless traffic sensor in Erfurt, Germany. Photograph: 24 Objectives IMMS. IMMS has researched, designed and developed a wireless sensor network for a ”tactile road“ and has now also tested it in practice with the intention of progressing electric car mobility. Electric vehicles have a shorter range between refuelling episodes than the ordinary type but also take longer to refuel. Consequently, to enable them to be navigated…

MUSIK – merging microelectronics and micromechanics in design Objectives IMMS investigated and modelled MEMS characteristics to develop basic blocks as the depicted BAW resonater for the design of complex functional groups. Photograph: IMMS. By 2020 it is expected that mobile data traffic will be six times that of 2015. The prediction is a rise internationally that reaches 24 exabytes – 24 times 1018 bytes – per month.1 New radio bands with higher frequencies are already being prepared as one means of meeting the huge challenges. More bands…

MEMS2015 Validation of the tool for automated MEMS design Preparing to take dynamic measurements at a shaker (foreground, r.) 38 Objectives in validation of the acceleration sensor created using the design tool Although in the field of microelectronics a highly automated, computer-aided procedure has been used for many years in designing integrated circuits, there has been to date no adequate methodology or design software for the design of silicon-based micromechanical components. MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) have had only a…

Photograph: IMMS. For today's increasingly complex machinery and equipment to be operated safely with the highest possible efficiency in their use of resources and energy, it is essential that the state of each device and process be monitored at many points simultaneously with high speed and complete accuracy. The nearer to the process is any sensor…

sMobiliTy An energy-optimised wireless sensor solution for traffic applications Making prototype weatherproof, reliable sensors with wireless signalling 24 Objectives that can be installed in the ”tactile road“ and will contribute to mobility Electric vehicles (EVs) have a shorter range and longer ”electrical filling up“ times than do conventional vehicles. For optimum navigation as regards trip time and distance travelled, it is important to have upto-date local information: details of traffic jams, battery charging prices and…

Smart current clamp registers parasitic currents in industry Energetic measurements for the smart current clamp. Photograph: IMMS. Objectives one single point in the plant. Yet another is that the breakdowns seem to happen sporadically, tending only to happen at intervals of perhaps several hours or even days. If expert staff apply themselves and complex measurement equipment to ongoing analysis over such long periods, the costs will be high. Expensive downtime in complex industrial plant is often attributable to…
