Enhancing parametric sensitivity in electrically coupled MEMS resonators
The new mechanical sensing paradigm for MEMS devices introduced in this paper led to two related patent applications filed by Cambridge Enterprise (Application numbers PCT/GB2011/000805 and PCT/GB2012/052891) and technology translation is being pursued. The ongoing translation activity was highlighted in news releases (for example http://www.praxisunico.org.uk/news/member-detail.asp?ItemID=616) and an article in The Engineer (http://www.theengineer.co.uk/news/researchers-develop-ultra-sensitive-motion-sensors/1006538.article). The first author was awarded the best student paper award for a related conference paper presented at the 2009 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium. The first author joined BP in April 2013 to progress translation of the technology (contact Dr Tony Espie, BP Alternative Energy).
