An acetylcholinesterase-inspired biomimetic toxicity sensor
Chemosphere, 2013This work demonstrates the ability of an acetylcholinesterase-inspired biomimetic sensor to accurately predict the toxicity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. In surface waters used for municipal drinking water supplies, numerous pesticides and other anthropogenic chemicals have been found that inhibit AChE; however, there is currently no ...

Development of a biomimetic alkane sensor
Electrochimica Acta, 1998Abstract A biomimetic sensor for aliphatic hydrocarbons is presented. The sensor is based on the combination of a screen printed peroxidase electrode and an iron porphyrin complex iron(III)-meso-tetrakis-(pentafluorophenyl)-β-tetrasulfonatoporphyrin chloride. The biomimetic compound was immobilized in a polyelectrolyte matrix.

Biomimetics Microfluidic Tactile Sensor Array
ASME 2008 3rd Frontiers in Biomedical Devices Conference, 2008Tactile sensors are the interfaces to detect the physical properties of objects and have extensive applications in robotic sensing, biomechanics, minimally invasive surgery and human prosthetics [1]. For human prosthetics applications, the current prosthetic hand can offer only the manipulation function.

This book deals with biomimetic sensors that can quantify taste and smell - the electronic tongue and nose. Of all sensor technologies, these have been widely considered as the most difficult to realise and the development of these sensors significantly contributes to the understanding of the reception mechanisms in gustatory and olfactory systems. The

Nanowire-based electromechanical biomimetic sensor
Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, 2007We propose the development of a basic module for a novel nanowire-based nanoelectromechanical device, which will require the mechanical coupling of nanowires to an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure containing a polarization-induced 2D electron gas. The deflection of freestanding nanowires in a streaming liquid causes an additional strain in the AlGaN barrier ...

Flight Control Using Biomimetic Optical Sensors
2013Insects are dependent on the spatial, spectral, and temporal distributions of light in the environment for flight control and navigation. This chapter reports on flight trials of implementations of insect-inspired behaviors on unmanned aerial vehicles.

Biomimetic skin-type shear sensor
2016 16th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS), 2016Human detects the external tactile stimulation using mechanoreceptors under the skin. There are various kinds of mechanoreceptors in the skin. In this paper, the proposed sensor mimics Ruffinis corpuscle which detects shear force. The sensor consists of Ecoflex® 0050 as a substrate and silver nanowire (AgNW) in the shape of typical strain gauge as a ...

Piezoelectric sensors for dioxins: a biomimetic approach
Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2004The aim of this work was to design a fast, cheap and easy to use analytical system for dioxins. Piezoelectric sensors coupled with the pentapeptides as biomimetic traps (the receptors), selective for the dioxins, were used for the realisation of this analytical system. A methodology to select specific receptors among all possible pentapeptides randomly

An electrochemical biomimetic ATP-sensor
Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2005Abstract Molecular monolayers can be modified so that they mimic cell membranes. Two types of those biomimetic membranes were used in order to immobilize EF 0 F 1 -H + -ATPase on a gold electrode. The work was motivated by the objective to measure the adenosin-triphosphate (ATP) concentrations by taking advantage of the ATPase activity.
