    Abstract: A tensile stress measurement device is to be attached to an object to be measured. The tensile stress measurement device may include an IC having a semiconductor substrate and tensile stress detection circuitry, the semiconductor substrate having opposing first and second attachment areas. The tensile stress measurement device may include a first attachment plate coupled to the first attachment area and extending outwardly to be attached to the object to be measured, and a second attachment plate coupled to the second attachment area and extending outwardly to be attached to the object to be measured. The tensile stress detection circuitry may be configured to detect a tensile stress imparted on the first and second attachment plates when attached to the object to be measured.

    Abstract: A magnetic energy harvesting and scavenging circuit includes a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface. An energy harvesting and scavenging coil is formed proximate the first surface. An electromechanical systems device, which may be a MEMS device, includes a moveable mass that extends over the first surface of the first substrate and may be displaced relative to the substrate in three dimensions responsive to an external force applied to the moveable mass. The movable mass includes at least one permanent magnet that is magnetically coupled to the energy harvesting and scavenging coil. Energy harvesting and scavenging circuitry, which may be formed in the first substrate where the first substrate is a semiconductor chip, is electrically coupled to the energy harvesting and scavenging coil and generates electrical energy due to magnetic flux variation through the energy harvesting and scavenging coil responsive to movement of the moveable mass.

    Abstract: The integrated electronic device is for detecting a local parameter related to a force observed in a given direction, within a solid structure. The device includes at least one sensor configured to detect the above-mentioned local parameter at least in the given direction through piezo-resistive effect. At least one damping element, integrated in the device, is arranged within a frame-shaped region that is disposed around the at least one sensor and belongs to a substantially planar region comprising a plane passing through the sensor and perpendicular to the given direction. Such at least one damping element is configured to damp forces acting in the planar region and substantially perpendicular to the given direction.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device for detecting electromagnetic radiation includes a body of semiconductor material. A first region and a second region that form a junction are provided within the body. A recess extends into the body and is delimited by side arranged transverse to a main surface of the body. The junction is exposed by the sidewall to coupled electromagnetic radiation received in the recess into a photodiode formed by the junction.
