| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We further improve the performance of the sensor. We implemented a hybrid arrangement that consists in a small permanent magnet and an electromagnet. This increases the intensity of the magnetic field increase the utilization of the bandwidth of the chip. Moreover, we have fixed the issue of high temperature of the electromagnetic coil and further increase the strength of the generated magnetic field. As a result, the temperature of the coil has been reduced to 45 degrees. At the same time, the strength of the magnetic field increases to 0.6 mT. We have published 2 publications.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
There were several unexpected issues of the sensors that needed to be solved. However, solving those issues results in the sensor with better performance which is desirable.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Proximity modality will be integrated with the current sensor. Tests on the performance of the proximity module and the sensor overall will be done.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
We need to integrate the proximity sensing module to the sensor. Tests on the performance of the integrated proximity sensing module need to be done.
