This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of force sensors manufactured through conventional CNC machining, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), and material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing methods. The study utilized a combination of finite element method (FEM) simulations, functional testing, durability assessments, and ultimate strength testing in order to assess the viability of additive manufacturing for sensing technology applications. The FEM simulations provided a preliminary framework for predictive analysis, closely aligning with experimental outcomes for LPBF and conventionally manufactured sensors. Nevertheless, discrepancies were observed in the performance of MEX-printed sensors during ultimate strength testing, necessitating the implementation of more comprehensive modeling approaches that take into account the distinctive material characteristics and failure mechanisms. Functional testing confirmed the operational capability of all sensors, thereby demonstrating their suitability for the intended application. Moreover, all sensors exhibited resilience during 50,000 cycles of cyclic testing, indicating reliability, durability, and satisfactory fatigue life performance. Notably, sensors produced via LPBF exhibited a significant increase in strength, nearly three times that of conventionally manufactured sensors. These findings suggest the potential for innovative sensor design and the expansion of their use into higher-loaded applications. Overall, while both LPBF and conventional methods demonstrated reliability and closely matched simulation predictions, further research is necessary to refine modeling approaches for MEX-printed sensors and fully unlock their potential in sensing technology applications. These findings indicate that additive manufacturing of metals may be a viable alternative for the fabrication of biomedical sensors.
Imaging methods by the means of optical sensors are applied in diverse scientific areas such as medical research and diagnostics, aerodynamics, environmental analysis, or marine research. After a general introduction to the field, this review is focused on works published between 2012 and 2022. The covered topics include planar sensors (optrodes), nanoprobes, and sensitive coatings. Advanced sensor materials combined with imaging technologies enable the visualization of parameters which exhibit no intrinsic color or fluorescence, such as oxygen, pH, CO2, H2O2, Ca2+, or temperature. The progress on the development of multiple sensors and methods for referenced signal read out is also highlighted, as is the recent progress in device design and application formats using model systems in the lab or methods for measurements’ in the field.
Optical sensors are often a combination of optical fibers or waveguides and sensitive layers which consist of organic or metal-organic dyes incorporated in a polymer or silica film which change their absorbance or photoluminescence (fluorescence or phosphorescence) properties due to interaction with the analyte molecules. The focus of this chapter is on the description of inorganic materials used in electrochemical sensors, because these found widespread applications in gas-sensors and ion-selective electrodes. The response of such sensors can be due to a change of inherent properties of the sensing material (conductivity, capacitance or permittivity) or a change of the measured current or voltage in an electrochemical cell (amperometric or potentiometric sensors).
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is the standard technology to query information stored in directories. These directories can contain sensitive personal data such as usernames, email addresses, and passwords. LDAP is also used as a central, organization-wide storage of configuration data for other services. Hence, it is important to the security posture of many organizations, not least because it is also at the core of Microsoft’s Active Directory, and other identity management and authentication services.
We report on a large-scale security analysis of deployed LDAP servers on the Internet. We developed LanDscAPe, a scanning tool that analyzes security-relevant misconfigurations of LDAP servers and the security of their TLS configurations. Our Internet-wide analysis revealed more than 10k servers that appear susceptible to a range of threats, including insecure configurations, deprecated software with known vulnerabilities, and insecure TLS setups. 4.9k LDAP servers host personal data, and 1.8k even leak passwords. We document, classify, and discuss these and briefly describe our notification campaign to address these concerning issues.
