✦ Synopsis
Polymer coated cantilevers as mass-sensitive transducers for miniaturized gas sensors, an approach for which promising results have been demonstrated recently [1], have been developed and investigated further towards applications. A new detection arrangement has been realized, which enables a simultaneous frequency readout of several cantilevers. In addition, it was possible to coat the cantilevers with different polymers showing specific sensitivity to different gases. Finally, we present the first measurements on the simultaneous application and readout of differently coated cantilevers exposed to a mixture of gases.

## Abstract We present a feasibility study of ZnO‐based FBAR devices and their fabrications for the ultra‐mass‐sensitive sensor application. In this work, a considerable shift in the resonance frequency is observed due to the mass‐loading effect by a mixture of ink and volatile methanol. A high sen
A new parallel imaging technique was implemented which can result in reduced image acquisition times in MRI. MR data is acquired in parallel using an array of receiver coils and then reconstructed simultaneously with multiple processors. The method requires the initial estimation of the 2D sensitivi
