Sensors are common yet very important devices thatperceive various measured quantities according to specified standards and convert them into useful signals according to certain rules. For sensors, depending on the input state, inputs can be divided into static quantities and dynamic quantities. We can obtain the static characteristics of a sensor based on the relationship … Read more
Piezoelectric Dynamic Therapy (PzDT) is a tumor treatment method that utilizes mechanical energy to trigger the polarization of piezoelectric materials. Under the action of ultrasound (US), the immense pressure generated by the collapse of cavitation bubbles serves as a mechanical force source for the piezoelectric sonosensitizer, showing feasible potential. An internal electric field can form … Read more
01 Overview Disadvantages of Existing Technology: The gear in the aircraft engine, as a key component for power transmission, can lead to fuel line issues and power interruptions if it fails, posing a serious risk to flight safety. Therefore, condition monitoring is particularly important. Current gear fault detection methods rely on vibration sensors, but aircraft … Read more
The piezoelectric trigger switch circuit described here is a microcontroller-compatible impact sensor switch module operating on a 5V DC power supply. The entire circuit can be assembled on a standard 5×7 cm circuit board. The piezoelectric ceramic element (Pz1) can also be easily mounted on the PCB. This module provides a “logic” (H) output when … Read more
