Filter Protects Small Digital Humidity Sensor

October 11, 2010 By Randy Frank

It takes a variety of components to make a sensor appropriate for targeted applications and environments. To protect Sensirion’sSHT2x humidity and temperature sensor from water, dust, dirt and various contaminants, the SF2 filter cap is such a component.  Made of PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) the filter cap has an integrated filter membrane. With a filtration efficiency […]

Sensing Functions to Increase in Smartphones

October 8, 2010 By Randy Frank

ABI Research says that by 2013, 85% of smartphones will ship with GPS, over 50% will ship with accelerometers and almost 50% will have gyroscopes. A sensor-driven user interface (UI) will be an increasing theme in the next wave of mobile UI innovation. This will turn objects, locations, and people into networked, interactive elements according […]

How Pressure Sensors Can Help Your Golf Swing

September 30, 2010 By Randy Frank

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 […]

Portable Reflectometer Addresses Requirements in Short Optical Fiber Applications

September 23, 2010 By Randy Frank

At some point, a sensor becomes complex enough to be designated an instrument. This is the case with reflectometers.  Luna Technologies Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) 4200 is a new generation, portable, ultra-high resolution reflectometer. Designed to provide advanced inspection and diagnostic capabilities to manufacturers and installers of fiber optic assemblies and short (<500 m) networks, […]

Endress+Hauser Introduces Four New Analytical Sensors

September 23, 2010 By Randy Frank

The  new IP68-rated Memosens analytical sensors are “plug and play” compatible with the company’s recently announced Liquiline M CM442 four-wire, two-parameter transmitter. The Oxymax COS61D is an Optical Dissolved Oxygen sensor that uses the luminescence principle of fluorescence quenching. It has a measuring range of 0-20 mg/l (20 ppm). The Indumax CLS50D is a non-contacting […]

Four-wire, Two-parameter Transmitter Reduces Cost / Saves Space

September 18, 2010 By Randy Frank

Endress+Hauser’s Liquiline CM442 is a four-wire, two-parameter transmitter for analytical sensing applications. By accepting data from any two of the company’s Memosens sensors such as turbidity/suspended solids,  nitrate, SAC (UV254), ISE, dissolved oxygen, pH/ORP, chlorine, concentration and  conductivity, the transmitter avoids the cost of a second device and saves space with a simplified system. Powered […]

Measuring Surface Contact and Pressure Distribution Between a Heat Sink and Its Source

September 7, 2010 By Randy Frank

Sensor Products Inc.’s Tactilus heat-sink analysis system uses a flexible sensor and hub to display heat sink data on a PC for heat-generating chips such as a CPU. Since it is flexible and only 0.015-in. thick (0.38 mm), the sensor can be placed between the CPU and heat sink without affecting the assembly. Data can […]
