This paper reports a 2(nd) order electromechanical sigma-delta accelerometer system. Accelerometer is fabricated using Dissolved Wafer Process, and has a structural thickness of 15 mu m. A large proof mass is used to decrease the mechanical noise of the accelerometer and 306 fingers per side are used to increase the sensitivity and operation range of the accelerometer. In order to obtain a high resolution, low noise accelerometer system, a fully differential, closed loop, oversampled sigma-delta capacitive readout circuit is designed and implemented. The chip includes a switched-capacitor charge integrator and a comparator, and can be used in either open-loop or closed-loop mode. The readout circuit has more than 115dB dynamic range and can resolve less than 3aF/root Hz. A digital filtration and decimation circuitry is also implemented to signal process the output bit stream of the readout circuit. The Sigma-Delta second order closed loop readout circuit consumes 16mW power from a 5V supply and the complete accelerometer system has a 0.3% non-linearity in +/- 1 g range, 8 mu g bias drift, 74 mu g/root Hz of noise level and maximum operation range of +/- 18.5g.

EVALUATION OF NUSSELT NUMBER FOR A FLOW IN A MICROTUBE USING SECOND-ORDER SLIP MODEL Cetin, Barbaros; Bayer, Özgür (National Library of Serbia, 2011-01-01) In this paper. the fully-developed temperature profile and corresponding Nusselt value is determined analytically for a gaseous flow in a microtube with a thermal boundary condition of constant wall heat flux. The flow assumed to be laminar, and hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. The fluid is assumed to be constant property and incompressible. The effect of rarefaction, viscous dissipation and axial conduction, which are important at the microscale, are included in the analysis. Second-order sl...
A Microbolometer detector based on a sol-gel technology Dervişoğlu, Özgecan; Akın, Tayfun; Durucan, Caner; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2013) The objective of this study is to develop a high performance bolometric material for microbolometers. The bolometric material to be developed was chosen as vanadium oxide due to its high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), low 1/f noise performance, and read out integrated circuit (ROIC) compatible resistivity. Among various deposition techniques, sol-gel method was decided to be implemented because of its various advantages such as simpler instrumentation, attainability of good chemical homogeneit...
A switch mode power supply for producing half wave sine output Kaya, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this thesis; analysis, design and implementation of a DC-DC converter with active clamp forward topology is presented. The main objective of this thesis is generating a rectified sinusoidal voltage at the output of the converter. This is accomplished by changing the reference signal of the converter. The converter output is applied to an inverter circuit in order to obtain sinusoidal waveform. The zero crossing points of the converter is detected and the inverter drive signals are generated in order to o...
SELF-ESTEEM AND HEALTH-RISK BEHAVIORS AMONG TURKISH LATE ADOLESCENTS Kavas, Aysenur Bueyuekgoeze (2009-03-01) The current study investigated (a) the relationship between self-esteem and health-risk behaviors and use of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs, and (b) the gender differences in self-esteem and health-risk behaviors among a group of 243 late adolescents (124 males, 119 females) using a cross-sectional survey design. The age range of the participants was 17 to 24 with a mean age of 20.43 (SD = 1.21). Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a self-report questionnaire including items about dem...
Comparison of Efficiency of Two dc-to-ac Converters for Grid Connected Solar Applications Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Yilmaz, Arif (2012-05-26) In this paper; requirements from grid connected photovoltaic (PV) converters are briefly reviewed. Traditional buck-converter, line-frequency transformer topology is taken as reference, which satisfies all of the requirements imposed by standards and the utility. However, this topology employs a bulky transformer. Furthermore, a large electrolytic capacitor is needed in this circuit, which is expensive and also limits the life of the converter. This is not desirable in modern applications where PV module st...
