Öğe A disposable MEMS biosensor for aflatoxin M1 molecule detection(Elsevier Science Sa, 2022) Erdil, Kuter; Akcan, O. Gokalp; Gul, Ozguer; Gokdel, Y. DaghanIn this work, a paper-based perforated disposable biosensing device is proposed as an alternative method for aflatoxin M1 molecule detection. The demonstrated system is designed to achieve a quick and novel biosensing operation with low-cost materials using competitive assay method. For that purpose, the main fabrication material has opted as a 190 izm thick filter paper. 50 izm thick piezoresistive graphite paste is coated onto both sides of the paper-based cantilever beam with the aim of acquiring more sensitive magnetic nanoparticle weight sensing capability. Additionally, the structure has arrays of closely spaced perforations to augmented effective Young's modulus of the cantilever beam and further increase the system's sensitivity. An electrocoil positioned 1 mm below the sensor tip to apply an H(ext )and magnetically increase weight of the aflatoxin M1 with bovine serum albumin compound. An electronic read-out circuitry is implemented and integrated into the system. Average values of sensitivity and limit of detection (LoD) for each detection approach were calculated without blank subtraction and are shown with the standard error of the mean (SEM). LoD is calculated as 4.63 izg AFM1 which corresponds to 0.20127 V/V after subtracting standard deviation from the average value. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed system can detect a minimum of 14 izg of AFM1 molecules (0.14155 V/V). We magnetically amplified this tiny fragment of targeted molecules approximately 2731 times to 38.237 mg and made it detectable even with a disposable system. The sensitivity of the proposed system is 45.953 izV/mg. Finally, the maximum detectable AFM1 weight is reported as 71 izg.Öğe Electromagnetically actuated 3D-printed tunable optical slit device(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Erdil, Kuter; Gurcuoglu, Oguz; Ferhanoglu, OnurThis paper presents the design, manufacturing, and characterization of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed and electromagnetically actuated adjustable optical slit structure. The device comprises magnet-attached slits connected to the main frame via two springs controlled by external coils. To analyze the forces acting on the springs and simulate the mechanical behavior of the device, we developed both analytical and finite-element models. After fabricating the device using fused deposition, we conducted a series of tests to evaluate its performance. These tests included (1) analyzing the opacity of the slit blade as a function of its thickness, (2) measuring the temperature increase resulting from the power applied to the coils to determine the operable range of the structure, and (3) evaluating the hysteresis, repeatability, and resolution (minimum step) of the device. The experimental works were crucial to assessing the device's practicality and optimizing its performance for specific applications, which reveals a maximum slit width of similar to 450 mu m, with similar to 6.4 mu m step size within this study. Overall, our developed slit device has the potential to be useful in various optics-related laboratories due to its compatibility with conventional 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter optomechanical mounts, compact form, low power consumption, and rapid prototyping capability with hybrid materials in a cost-friendly fashion, owing to the 3D-printing technology. We discuss an application where the adjustable slit is employed in a combined laser-scanning microscope and a spectrometer, highlighting its versatility and potential for the future.

Gokalp; Muslu, Batin; Gokdel, Y. Daghan; Baran, Eray A.This paper proposes a novel disposable linear absolute encoder system and its peripheral electronic readout circuitry to be used for the localization of force in a continuum media such as a flexible robotic arm. The proposed structure relies on the design of graphite layers on a flexible surface that shows varying resistance based on the applied strain. The proposed topology can localize the force applied on a continuous paper based sensor having the geometry of an absolute encoder system. The successful results obtained from the experiments prove the efficacy of the proposed system while opening new paradigms for the possibility of contact force localization in flexible structures like soft robots.Öğe Paper-Based Piezoresistive Force Encoder for Soft Robotic Applications(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2022) Akcan, Omer Gokalp; Erdil, Kuter; Korkut, Dogukan; Baran, Eray A.; Gokdel, Y. DaghanThis work demonstrates the design, implementation, and experimental results of a low-cost disposable flexible sensor system capable of both impact localization and measurement. The proposed flexible sensor structure utilizes a special series of Bristol paper as the main fabrication material, which is coated with electric paint graphite paste and silver paste. The implemented sensor system uses a planar absolute encoder-like sensing topology to locate the impact and has a low-cost and quick manufacturing process. The size of the structure is 210 x 18.56 mm with a thickness of approximately 340 mu m. It has an electronic read-out consisting of three identical Wheatstone bridge circuits and instrumentation amplifiers for each bit. It can detect the external forces in the range of 0.6N to 12N with a spatial resolution of 2.4 cm and 0.55 cm in horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. The proposed sensor structure is tested in a series of experiments using a robotic setup consisted of a pantograph mechanism and a direct drive linear motor. The experiments illustrate the results with measurement sensitivity as small as 1N and proper fatigue resilience against repetitive loads.Öğe Perforated Paper-Based Piezoresistive Force Sensor(IEEE, 2019) Erdil, Kuter; Ayrac, Tugce; Akcan, O.

Additionally, the proposed paper-based structure has rows of closely spaced perforations at prespecified locations to facilitate the bending of the cantilever beam and to further increase the sensitivity of the system. A peripheral electronic read-out circuitry is developed and integrated into the system. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed weight-sensing system can measure miniature weights ranging to 2 g with a resolution of 20 mg. The implemented sensor has a sensitivity of 17.13 mV/mN or 168.01 mV/g.
