Artificial electronic skins (e-skins) comprise an integrated matrix of flexible devices arranged on a soft, reconfigurable surface. These sensors must perceive physical interaction spaces between external objects and robots or humans. Among various types of sensors, flexible magnetic sensors and the matrix configuration are preferable for such position sensing. However, sensor matrices must efficiently map the magnetic field with real-time encoding of the positions and motions of magnetic objects. This paper reports an ultrathin magnetic sensor matrix system comprising a 2 × 4 array of magnetoresistance sensors, a bootstrap organic shift register driving the sensor matrix, and organic signal amplifiers integrated within a single imperceptible platform. The system demonstrates high magnetic sensitivity owing to the use of organic amplifiers. Moreover, the shift register enabled real-time mapping of 2D magnetic field distribution.

An AC magnetic sensor is presented for measuring the high speed and high strength magnetic field generated in Z-pinch fusion machines. The proposed magnetic sensor provides the measurement of magnetic fields across a broadband frequency range. The simulation of magnetic probe is presented using a SPICE simulation software LTspice. The magnetic sensors are installed in a Pulsotron-3 Z-pinch machine and measured performance of the sensor are presented. This sensor also can be used to check the ignition conditions of the Z-Pinch by measuring the magnetic field generated by the output streams of large number of reacted alpha particles. The equations for measuring non-stationary magnetic field due to rapidly varying electric currents and a LTspice simulation file are provided to help the engineers to design, build, and install this kind of sensors.

Magnetic sensor is a type of sensor that utilizes changes in resistance caused by changes in the magnetic field H or B. One of the suitable magnetic materials to be used as a study material for making magnetic sensors is permalloy Ni80Fe20. The reading error of the magnetic sensor of the Ni80Fe20 permalloy material affects hysteresis curve of the material and requires correction of the angle of incidence of the external magnetic field in order to provide accurate results on the storage media. In this our current research using Finite Difference OOMMF, we investigated the effect of the angle of incidence of the external magnetic field (H) on the hysteresis curve was carried out on an application based on. The research was conducted by reviewing the parameter literature of the Ni80Fe20 permalloy material and then compiling it in a script and simulating it on an application based on Finite Difference OOMMF. The data obtained from the simulation are normalized magnetization (m), external magnetic field H and coercivity field (Hc) which have been influenced by the angle of incidence. The results of the hysteresis curve at a size of 5 nm with a variation of the angle of incidence 0o are indicated by the value of the external magnetic field H of 10000 mT to -10000 mT with a coercive field Hc of 5000 mT to -5000 mT. The normalized magnetization value m is 1 to -1. The variation of the angle of incidence of 30o produces a coercive field Hc of -108.3 mT to 108.3 mT and a normalized magnetization of 0.86 to -0.86. The 45o incident angle variation produces a coercive field Hc -88.4 mT to 88.4 mT and a normalized magnetization of -0.7 to 0.7

By collecting the magnetic field information of each spatial point, we can build a magnetic field fingerprint map. When the user is positioning, the magnetic field measured by the sensor is matched with the magnetic field fingerprint map to identify the user’s location. However, since the magnetic field is easily affected by external magnetic fields and magnetic storms, which can lead to “local temporal-spatial variation”, it is difficult to construct a stable and accurate magnetic field fingerprint map for indoor positioning. This research proposes a new magnetic indoor positioning method, which combines a magnetic sensor array composed of three magnetic sensors and a recurrent probabilistic neural network (RPNN) to realize a high-precision indoor positioning system. The magnetic sensor array can detect subtle magnetic anomalies and spatial variations to improve the stability and accuracy of magnetic field fingerprint maps, and the RPNN model is built for recognizing magnetic field fingerprint. We implement an embedded magnetic sensor array positioning system, which is evaluated in an experimental environment. Our method can reduce the noise caused by the spatial-temporal variation of the magnetic field, thus greatly improving the indoor positioning accuracy, reaching an average positioning accuracy of 0.78 m.

Magnetic materials in the drilling fluid used for drilling a petroleum well can significantly shield the Earth’s magnetic field as measured by magnetic sensors inside the drilling pipe. This has been shown to sometimes cause significant errors in the accuracy of borehole positioning using magnetic surveying. In this paper we present a physical approach for correcting the measured magnetic fields for such shielding. An explicit solution of the shielding problem is derived for the simplest case of a magnetic sensor on the axis of the borehole.

Abstract With the increasing application of personal navigation system in consumer electronics, the demand for multi-axis magnetic sensors based on MEMS is growing. We report a biaxial MEMS DC magnetic sensor consisting of an Mo/AlN/Fe80Ga20 film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), with anisotropy ΔE effect-based sensing principle. Different from the previously reported one-dimensional magnetic sensor based on the ΔE effect, the anisotropic ΔE effect was used to realize in-plane and out-of-plane two-dimensional magnetic field responses on a discrete sensor, and the sensor had two readout methods: resonant frequency f and return loss S11. The magnetic sensor realized the resonant frequency f shifted by 1.03 MHz and 0.2 MHz in the 567 Oe in-plane magnetic field and 720 Oe out-of-plane magnetic field, respectively, and the S11 changes by -30.2 dB and -0.92 dB. As the applied magnetic field increases, the -3 dB bandwidth quality factor Q3dB of the S11 curve gradually increases, and its maximum values in the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields are 77143 and 1828, respectively, which reduces the detection limit of the magnetic sensor. The resonant magnetic sensor has stable high linear temperature and frequency drift characteristics, and its temperature frequency coefficient is -48.7 ppm/℃.

Vector 3-D magnetic sensors form the basis of measurement devices for magnetic field mapping and magnetic tracking. Typically, such sensors utilize specific constructions based on split Hall structures (SHS). An SHS-based 3-D magnetic sensor is a bulk semiconductor integrated structure with 8 or more contacts. Combining current flow directions through the contacts and measuring the corresponding voltages, one defines projections BX, BY, BZ of the magnetic field vector. This work presents a novel design of 3-D solid state magnetic sensors that requires no insulation by p-n junctions and can be implemented by thin-film technology traditionally used for fabrication of Hall sensors including those based on InSb films. Besides, a SPICE model of the 3-D magnetic sensor is provided, which helps design the proposed sensor and refine techniques of its calibration.

Abstract We developed a system and a method to characterize the magnetic field induced by circuit board and electronic component, especially integrated inductor, with magnetic sensors. The different magnetic sensors are presented and several applications using this method are discussed. Particularly, in several semiconductor applications (e.g. Mobile phone), active dies are integrated with passive components. To minimize magnetic disturbance, arbitrary margin distances are used. We present a system to characterize precisely the magnetic emission to insure that the margin is sufficient and to reduce the size of the printed circuit board.

Fluxgate magnetic sensors are especially important in detecting weak magnetic fields. The mechanism of a fluxgate magnetic sensor is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The structure of a fluxgate magnetic sensor mainly consists of excitation windings, core and sensing windings, similar to the structure of a transformer. To date, they have been applied to many fields such as geophysics and astro-observations, wearable electronic devices and non-destructive testing. In this review, we report the recent progress in both the basic research and applications of fluxgate magnetic sensors, especially in the past two years. Regarding the basic research, we focus on the progress in lowering the noise, better calibration methods and increasing the sensitivity. Concerning applications, we introduce recent work about fluxgate magnetometers on spacecraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, wearable electronic devices and defect detection in coiled tubing. Based on the above work, we hope that we can have a clearer prospect about the future research direction of fluxgate magnetic sensor.

The H2 subtypes of avian influenza A viruses (avian IAVs) have been circulating in poultry, and they have the potential to infect humans. Therefore, establishing a method to quickly detect this subtype is pivotal. We developed a TaqMan minor groove binder real-time RT-PCR assay that involved probes and primers based on conserved sequences of the matrix and hemagglutinin genes. The detection limit of this assay was as low as one 50% egg infectious dose (EID50)/mL per reaction. This assay is specific, sensitive, and rapid for detecting avian IAV H2 subtypes.
