Wireless Sensor Triggering Using Bluetooth Low Energy Technology
Veverka, David
This work deals with design of stable and fast wireless connection between two endpoints. The Bluetooth technology or its modern alternatives is used to realize this connection because this technology has already been tested in the desired environment. The results of timing analysis of the selected sensors are discussed as well as communication between sensor and a chosen microcontroller and in the end a complete solution will be designed in order to create a functional prototype of the desired application.

Field Instrument with HART Interface
Kunz, Jan
This paper describes design and development of of creating field instrument demonstration module. Module is capable of measuring multiple sensors such as thermocouples, RTD, or pressure sensor, analogue sensor simulation is also provided. Sensor’s side is isolated from output, which is composed of 4 - 20 mA current loop and HART interface. Current loop also provides power supply and module can communicate via HART also when alarm current (3,2 mA) is set. Basic safety features like open wire detection, over and undervoltage protection are also implemented.

Design of a pressure monitor for biomedical applications
Tenora, Jan ; Kolka, Zdeněk (referee) ; Biolková, Viera (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor’s thesis was to gather requirements for the realization and functional features of the proposed pressure monitor. Based on the collected requirements, the block diagram and also the complete schematic were proposed. Then the printed circuit board was designed, made and fitted. This board was placed into prepared box together with other components. Finished equipment was tested, set and also precision was checked by its measurement. Finally, user guide and also service manual were written.

Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring
Hampl, Tomáš ; Čožík, Ondřej (referee) ; Levek, Vladimír (advisor)
This master‘s thesis describes the design of a system usable for wireless measurement of the tire pressure. The goal is to make a theoretical acquintace with the wireless measurement of a tire pressure. Within the master‘s thesis was suggested device at the block level. For individual blocks have been chosen specific circuits. For the device has been selected the pressure sensor SP100-7AT, the microcontrollers Atmega8 and Atmega16 and the wireless module RFM22. The result of the work is a functional prototype of device including software for microprocessors. Final solution was tested during the experimental measurement.

Research and Development of Modern Emission MEMS Sensors
Pekárek, Jan ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (referee) ; Vrba, Radimír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis is focused on research and development of modern emission MEMS sensors. The emission sensor based on the field emission from nanostructured materials represents innovative approach to pressure sensing. The nanostructures serve as electron emitter in an electric field between the cathode and anode in the pressure sensor. This electric field is constant and the change in ambient pressure causes the change of distance between electrodes, thereby the electric field is increasing. This intensity is proportional to the emission from the cathode made of nanostructured material. Changing the distance between the electrodes is caused by the deflection of the deformation element - the membrane, which operates the measured pressure. In the current state of the art an extensive research is carried out to find new nanostructured materials with good emission properties. Four nanostructured materials have been chosen and then experimentally prepared and characterized inside the vacuum chamber. For the simulation of diaphragm bending, the chamber is equipped with linear nano-motion drive SmarAct that enables precise changes of the distance between two electrodes inside the vacuum chamber. The computer model to predict the deformation of diaphragm was prepared in the simulation program CoventorWare. The behavior of diaphragm in a wide range of dimensions of the membrane, its thickness and the applied pressure are possible to predict. The dependencies of the current density on the electric field are plotted from the measured emission characteristics of nanostructured materials and thus characterized nanostructured materials can be compared. The dependencies are further converted by Fowler-Nordheimovy theory on the curve (ln(J/E2) vs. 1/E), whose advantage is linear shape. Basic parameters describing the emission properties of characterized nanostructured materials are deducted. Two methods for vacuum packaging of the sensor electrodes are designed. Anodic bonding technology and encapsulating using glass frit bonding are tested. To evaluate the bonding strength, the bonded substrates are tested for tensile strength.

Automatized working place for measuring of airflow parameters
Smělý, Jakub ; Vejlupek, Josef (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
This thesis describes the design work for the measurement of air values. The first part describes the airflow, pressure build-up in pipes and losses due to airflow losses. There is also a description of fans and explain their characteristics depending on the pressure generated by airflow. The next part describes the design of the measuring chamber, electronics and control for fully automatic measurement of air quantities.

Development of Laser Welded Common Rail with Radial Connected Pressure Sensor (RPS)
Šantavý, Ivo ; Skrutek, Ivo (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
This dissertation deals with a development of a laser welded common rail with a radially attached RPS sensor of pressure. The new concept required by Bosch Diesel s.r.o. Jihlava should be more modifiable and it should be easily integrated with the engine compartment. In this dissertation I suggested a number of concepts that I further analysed, verified in appropriate software, developed, and finally narrowed the selection down to the most suitable solution, which is recommended and justified in the conclusion.
