Complementary pressure sensors

The sections below describe three representative capacitive interfaces. The single-ended parallel-plate style is used in inertial and pressure sensors where fabrication constraints preclude a complementary design. Many microfluidic applications, such as particle sorting or fluid level detection, and proximity sensors fall into this category also. Section 6.1.2.3 describes the advantages of complementary interfaces. The last section is devoted to comb style sensors. 

It is well known that survival and proliferation of microbial cells in the environment depend on the expression of advantageous phenotypes controlled by the genotype expression. It is becoming clear that such evolutionary pressure has resulted in a network of sensor mechanisms that transduce environmental stimuli into gene expression and hence a phenotype complementary to the prevail-...
