Sensors environmental

Another advantage offered by ICPs is that the eleetroehemieal synthesis allows the direet deposition of the polymer on the electrode surfaee, while simultaneously trapping the protein molecules. It is thus possible to control the spatial distribution of the immobilized enzymes, the film thickness and modulate the enzyme activity by changing the state of the polymer. Because of these ICPs have been used in the fabrication of biosensors in various fields such as Health eare, immuno sensors, DNA sensors, environmental monitoring, and food analysis. [Pg.190]

The range of sample characteristics and manner of their detection, is much larger than can be realistically addressed in the space of a single chapter. We will confine this chapter mainly to the chemical sensor research areas discussed in other chapters in this volume, dividing them into electrical, optical, and mass and thermal measurements. Our focus will furthermore be on the generic chemical and physical phenomena upon which such measurements can be based, as opposed to the alternative organization that would address chemical sensors in the context of their application (i.e, auto exhaust sensor, clinical diagnostic sensor, environmental sensor) or of the kinds of samples detected (i.e, CO sensors, humidity sensor, biosensor, etc.), as used in a previous ACS Symposium Series volume on Chemical Sensors (D. Schuetzle, R. Hammerle, Eds., ACS Sympos. Ser. 309, 1986). [Pg.7]

There are various major fields of application for chemical sensors environmental studies, quality control of chemically produced compounds and processed food and biomedical analysis, especially for medical diagnostics. In the field of environmental analysis there is a great demand for the type of continuous monitoring that only a sensor can provide, since the relevant parameter for toxicological risk assessment is always the dose (i.e., a concentration multiplied by an exposure lime). The study of environmental chemistry also depends upon a continuous data output that provides not only baseline levels but also a reliable record of concentration outbursts. Data networks can be used to accumulate multiple determinations of a particular analyte regardless of whether these are acquired simultaneously or at different times within a three-dimensional sampling space (which may have dimensions on the order of miles). [Pg.952]

In this entry the principles of operation of broadband seismometers are discussed and contrasted with those of passive seismometers. The criteria for selecting a seismometer are discussed. Particular attention is paid to noisegenerating mechanisms, including self-noise generated within the sensor, environmental sensitivities, and installation-related noise. [Pg.1941]

Throughout the history of the development of fats and oils, many wet chemical methods have been developed to assess the quaUty of the raw materials and products. As sophisticated instmmentation develops, many of the wet methods are being replaced. Particular attention is being given to methods that eliminate the use of solvents which cause an environmental disposal problem. Many in-line sensors are also being developed to allow corrections of critical parameters to be made more quickly in the process. [Pg.133]

In contrast, various sensors are expected to respond in a predictable and controlled manner to such diverse parameters as temperature, pressure, velocity or acceleration of an object, intensity or wavelength of light or sound, rate of flow, density, viscosity, elasticity, and, perhaps most problematic, the concentration of any of millions of different chemical species. Furthermore, a sensor that responds selectively to only a single one of these parameters is often the goal, but the first attempt typically produces a device that responds to several of the other parameters as well. Interferences are the bane of sensors, which are often expected to function under, and be immune to, extremely difficult environmental conditions. [Pg.389]

Sensors. One growth area for electronic ceramics is in sensor appHcations. Sensors (qv) are devices that transform nonelectrical inputs into electrical outputs, thus providing environmental feedback. Smart, or intelligent, sensors also allow for mechanisms such as self-diagnosis, recovery, and adjustment for process monitoring and control (see Process control). [Pg.345]

The performance characteristics of ceramic sensors are defined by one or more of the foUowing material properties bulk, grain boundary, interface, or surface. Sensor response arises from the nonelectrical input because the environmental variable effects charge generation and transport in the sensor material. [Pg.345]

The development of highly selective chemical sensors for complex matrixes of medical, environmental, and industrial interest has been the object of greate research efforts in the last years. Recently, the use of artificial materials - molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) - with high recognition properties has been proposed for designing biomimetic sensors, but only a few sensor applications of MIPs based on electrosynythesized conductive polymers (MIEPs) have been reported [1-3]. [Pg.322]

Obviously, the sensors have to be installed in a correct and representative place in the process. Determining an optimal installation of sensors for measuring environmental conditions in large halls is not a simple task. Many different factors have to be taken into account. The main place where a certain climate is to be maintained is given priority. Secondly, the influence of infiltration and radiation from surrounding surfaces must be considered. [Pg.778]

This chapter discusses overall safety analysis techniques lor evaluating production facilities, describes the concepts used to determine where safety shutdown sensors are required, and provides background and insight into the concept of a Safety and Environmental Management Program. [Pg.386]

Environmentally Responsive Work-stations (ERWs). Workers in open-office areas have direct, individual control over both the temperature and air-flow. Radiant heaters and vents are built directly into their furniture and are controlled by a panel on their desks, which also provides direct control of task lighting and of white noise levels (to mask out nearby noises). A motion sensor in each ERW turns it off when the worker leaves the space, and brings it back on when he or she returns. [Pg.671]
