Organic Ir-detecting Strain Gauge
Detects infrared radiationOperates at ambient temperatureScales from a single MEMS-class device to a monolithic large format 2D array
Based on its sensitivity to particular IR bands, this MEMS strain gauge is well-suited to the detection of mammals (e.g. humans) and also forest fires. Applications include pedestrian-vehicle safety systems, forestry, disease diagnosis (e.g. SARS, cancer), medical thermography, night vision, and astronomy.

Title: Infrared sensor systems and devices
Usefulness: Infrared sensor systems and devices
Summary: Used in a mechanical strain gauge and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based device, for sensing a change in strain induced by the presence of infrared radiation, that is utilized in medical, military, industrial and commercial applications. Can also be used for a thin-film transistor in which the photomechanical stretching strains the transistor channel and alters the transistor current.
Novelty: Strain sensor for sensing change in strain induced by infrared radiation, has strain-sensitive device including infrared sensing material, where absorption of infrared radiation produces strain in strain- sensitive device
