polymer with gas absorption properties. Any absorption of gas by the polymer will increase the mass of the system, and therefore, lower the frequency of its resonance. Utilizing polymers with gas specific qualities, it is possible tocalibrate the MEMS resonator for gas detection purposes such that the concentrations can bedetermined. The process of absorption is a temperature dependent reaction, therefore control ormonitoring of the device temperature is important.For the gas sensing to be effective, the resonance should be well defined with a high “QualityFactor, Q” at atmospheric pressure. “Quality Factor” is defined as the ratio of the

The difference between the high pressure in the front stagnation regionand the low pressure in the rear separated region causes a large drag contribution called pressuredrag. This is added to the integrated shear stress or friction drag of the body, which it oftenexceeds. The relative contributions of the friction drag and the pressure drag depend on thebody’s shape, especially its thickness

with the shrinking size in the relationship betweencharge, voltage and capacitance Q = C V is at the root of this sensitivity since at acapacitance of 10-17F or less, V is likely to be larger than the thermal voltage for a singleelectron moving from one side to the other1. Such effects cause degradation in theperformance of CMOS technology ultimately limiting the device densities attainable withtransistors. These limits have led to the growing importance of developing alternativebottom up approaches such as nano-technology which allows scaling at the limits ofmolecular dimensions. QCA and nano-wires are two such approaches and our interest inthese two areas has been guided by the PI’s prior experience in the field of QuantumInformation

frequency response, the signal frequency has to be stepped, the measurement beingrepeated at every step to gather data points to plot the response as a function of the frequency. Inprinciple the input and output voltage amplitude measurements can be accomplished very simplyby employing two AC voltmeters. However, most undergraduate teaching laboratories areequipped with only one meter per station. Besides, most DMMs have a very limited frequencyrange, typically less than 100 KHz. Beams[2] has shown that, with external circuitry controlled bya PC, one can multiplex the input and the output signals into a single voltmeter. He employed anI-Q phase detector and incorporated it with a multiplexer to do both phase and amplitudemeasurement with only one

frequencies (80 steps) and the high Q of the filter. Thegreatest discrepancy between expectations and results is the apparent discontinuity in phasemeasurement beyond 4.8kHz. This is a consequence of the switching from one quadraturenetwork to the next at 4750Hz. There is a small error in phase relationship of the two outputs ofthe third quadrature network, and the phase reading of TUNA II is the most sensitive to phaseerror of the quadrature network when the network phase is a multiple of ±90fl. (Under thesecircumstances, the error in the network phase reading is approximately equal to the phase errorof the quadrature network). Phase error in the quadrature network also produces an error in thereading of the network voltage gain. Computations show

Another area of improvement in the future is to revise the Quiz module structure. Currently, the Quiz module is implemented using static values for Q&A, so questions must be manually entered. In the future, we intend to make this module more interactive such that questions and answers can randomly be selected from an existing file created by the user. We also intend to attach a time stamp and User ID to each quiz to improve the testing environment.5.
