    Abstract: Nano-sensors, nano-sensor array and methods of fabrication thereof are provided. A nano-sensor comprises a pair of sensing electrode assemblies aligned longitudinally along a first axis. Each sensing electrode assembly comprises an electrode strip coupled to a contact pad at a first end of the electrode strip. A sensing member is disposed between the pair of sensing electrode assemblies to detect, at a predetermined temperature, presence of a gaseous component. A thermally conductive layer is provided in contact with the sensing member. The nano-sensor comprises a heating assembly, comprising a heating strip disposed between and coupled to a pair of heating contact pads, aligned longitudinally along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A portion of the heating strip is in contact with the thermally conductive layer to heat the sensing member through the thermally conductive layer.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a system and method for a web-based reservation of geographically dispersed facilities. The system comprises a user registration unit configured to receive information to register a user and to provide an unique login ID to the user to generate a registered user, a user requisition unit configured to receive a requisition from the registered user to schedule a reservation for use of facilities, wherein the requisition from the registered user comprises at least one parameter selected from a date, a time slot, a location, and the facility, a centralized management unit configured to determine a list of available facility by comparing the requisition from the registered user to a database, a reservation display unit configured to present to the registered user the list of available facility along with details of the facility and receive from the registered user a selection of the facility sought by the registered user from the list of available facilities, wherein the details of the chosen facility comprises at least one of the following: location details, an available time for use, booking status, and the associated cost, and a reservation scheduling unit configured to schedule a reservation of the selected/desired facility based from the list of available facility made by the registered user. A method for web-based sharing and efficient use of at least one geographically dispersed facility is also described.

    Abstract: A device and method for area sensing and actuation comprises highly scalable sensing and actuation network that can control a high density of sensing and actuation elements over a physical area. The device comprises a matrix of CMOS sensing chips that each comprise a plurality of sensing electrodes arranged in a matrix of columns and rows along horizontal wires and vertical wires. The vertical wires carry an activation signal to activate a column of sensing electrodes, and the vertical wires carry sensing and actuation signals between the column of sensing electrodes and a processing chip. The signals may be amplified by CMOS sensing chips between the source and destination of the signals. In this way, signals may be received from and sent to a dense matrix of sensing electrodes spanning a large geographic area with little or no degradation.
