SMARTPUMP

Many recent smartphone models are fitted with environmental sensors. Existing environmental sensors in smartphones are subject to very long response times since the air first has to penetrate the inside of the sensor housing by means of slow diffusion. Fraunhofer EMFT researchers are currently pursuing a different and more promising approach: By means of a tiny silicon micropump positioned near the housing opening, air can be actively fed to the sensor inside the smartphone. This has improved the response time and measuring results were more precise, too.

ESD: New measuring technologies offer effective protection

Microelectronic devices and systems are getting smaller and more complex – this also presents ESD protection with new challenges. Many established test methods are reaching their limitations. Researchers at Fraunhofer EMFT have developed new solutions that provide more accurate and reproducible measurement results.

Energy for Smart Objects

Within the project “EnSO” (Energy for Smart Objects), 39 partners from eight countries cooperate to establish new solutions for an intelligent energy supply. The project partners aim to develop so-called AMES (Autonomous Micro Energy Sources). AMES combine several elements like energy harvesting, energy management and micro energy storage systems, ideally allowing for a lifelong operating period.

Impedimetric CO2-sensor

A research team at Fraunhofer EMFT has developed a CO2 sensor based on an impedimetric measuring principle. The innovation is based on a new type of hybrid sensor layer, a combination of organic and anorganic material. The measurements delivered by the novel sensor show very promising results so far.
