Silacon created the concept of a giant Q-Tip shaped strain, temperature, dielectric and compression sensor and sensor system that embodies novel magnetics, phonon transceiver, and relativistic electric field correlation on the fly using artificial intelligence.  The Sencrete Sensor morphology options are bipolar Q-Tip and torus deployed independently of the Q-Tip structure.  Sencrete senses chemical  properties such as heat of reaction or cure.  Wireless options include 802.11, ISM band, Blue Tooth or WiMax.  In addition, the Sencrete Q-Tip™ applies as embedded or external reinforcement structural member.

Product Description and How it Works

The Sencrete sensor form factor selectable from 2.5 cm to 2.5 meters length is Q-Tip™ shaped.  The Sencrete sensor senses strain when embedded in or attached to a host surface.  Sencrete senses bending or cracking while reporting temperature or chemical changes.  Strain sensing occurs when stress occurs between the balls pulling on the balls at the ends of the Q-Tip™ rod.  The sensor element tested by physics students of the University of Minnesota and IEEE Millennium Award recipient Dr. Sidney Ruebens confirms the unique viability of this technology.  A tiny module serves eight or more Sencrete Q-Tip™ sensors concurrently as a sensor system that processes the signals from the balls at the ends of the Q-Tips.  AI performs adaptive solutions that yield strain, dielectric cure properties, heat of hydration and abrupt composite disturbances.  One can design sensing patterns by applying several Sencrete in star or ring configurations.  Use Sencrete anywhere!  Contact Silacon.com
