How Pressure Sensors Can Help Your Golf Swing

Sensosolutions SensoGlove embeds four tiny pressure sensors into a golf glove to analyze the pressure that the golfer is exerting during his/her swing. Contrary to natural instinct, an excessively tight grip does not usually provide the expected results. To achieve the right amount of pressure, a target pressure level from 1-to-18 can be set and a 1.2-inch LED display on the glove displays the actual pressure and warns if it is exceeded. Audio and visual feedback is provided 80 times per second. The sensors are located to show the user which fingers are gripping too tightly, so the grip can be adjusted accordingly.

RFID Sensing Accesses Door Lock

Touch sensing was demonstrated as an alternative to commonly used magnetic key sensing for authorizing access to a locked door in a previous Sensor Tips video. At the Hospitality Design Expo, at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, May 19-21, Jon Nevison demonstrates another option using RFID technology for authorizing access. The implication from these two alternative technologies replacing a well-established approach is rather obvious: designers need to consider new options when updating an older product to expand future sales.
