SENSOR DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18112241 titled 'SENSOR DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a sensor device with a cantilever support structure, a sensing element with a resonant frequency affected by contaminants, a frequency detector, and an actuator to move the support structure.
- Support structure with cantilever shape
- Sensing element with surface affected by contaminants
- Frequency detector to detect resonant frequency
- Actuator to move support structure in perpendicular direction
Potential Applications

Problems Solved
1. Detection of contaminants in real-time 2. Monitoring of air quality or water pollution 3. Early detection of diseases through biomarkers
Benefits
1. Improved accuracy in detecting contaminants 2. Real-time monitoring capabilities 3. Early warning system for potential health hazards
Original Abstract Submitted
A sensor device includes: a support structure having a cantilever shape extending in a first direction and having a first end fixed; a sensing element having a surface and a resonant frequency changing according to contaminants adsorbed to the surface and disposed at a second end of the support structure; a frequency detector configured to detect the resonant frequency of the sensing element; and an actuator disposed at the one end of the support structure and configured to move the support structure so that the second end of the support structure moves in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
