How can you make a sensor invisible?

April 16, 2025 By Randy Frank

Many sensors appear in plain sight, such as in cameras or home security systems’ presence/motion detectors. However, some are disguised in other products, such as a rearview mirror (camera) in a car or a smartphone. Specifically, the iPhone has 15 or more sensors embedded in its cell phone package design. Designers continue to find out-of-sight, […]

How does an electronic tongue sense: part 1

February 26, 2025 By Randy Frank

When sensors that detect the five senses, hearing, sight, feeling, smell, and taste, are discussed, the one that usually gets mentioned the least is taste. Electronic ears, eyes, touch, and noses have far more available products than electronic tongues – but that could change. Like many sensors, the underlying technology for an electronic tongue (or […]

What is a balometer and what does it do?

February 3, 2025 By Randy Frank

To ensure and verify the efficient airflow in the ducts and the optimum distribution (balance) of airflow in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a technician would use a balometer – a type of airflow meter. This tool/instrument measures several airflow parameters from diffusers and grilles. With this data, the HVAC technician can […]
