Detailed
description of topics:
The course deals with design principles in the
field of transducers for information handling. Four particular types of transducers form
the basic content of the course: weight scales (mass determination devices), rotating coil
electric current meters, turntables and optical mass information storage devices (CD
players). In addition, current research projects of the Laboratory for Micro Engineering
are discussed with respect to their design aspects. The common main features of all
information transducers, such as accuracy, robustness and influence of disturbances are
discussed in detail.
