Quartz strip resonators as a temperature sensor.

Abstract

The miniature frequency-temperature sensor in the form of a small quartz strip vibrating in the thickness-shear mode with the resonant frequency in the range from 4 to 8 MHz is considered. Y-cut strips rotated in the range from 0 degrees to 27 degrees are the subject of the study. The temperature coefficients of the resonance frequency for the different rotation angles are given. The different temperature dependence of the resonant frequency of the quartz temperature sensors vibrating on the fundamental and harmonic frequency of the thickness-shear modes is pointed out.

Toxicological evaluation of quartz and silica contents in studded tire-generated dust in the city of Sendai.

Roadside dust samples were collected at six locations in the City of Sendai at the end of the winter season of 1980-1981, and analyzed for quartz and silica contents. X-ray diffraction and ICP analyses revealed that the mean quartz and silica contents in dust samples were 14.6% (ranging from 12.2 to 19.4%) and 56.3% (53.7 to 59.7%), respectively. From these results in connection with current dust levels and estimated duration of exposure, it appears likely that the risk of silicosis among the citizens may not be high if appropriate measures are taken to protect the atmosphere.
