Additional applications for touch sensing are in light dimmers and room thermostats. At the Hospitality Design Expo, at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, May 19-21, Justin Gardner of INNCOM, a provider of integrated room automation systems, demonstrates the functionality of these stylish examples. For more information about INNCOM and its energy management products, […]
Touch Sensing Technology Opens Doors
Touch sensing is finding many applications in the hospitality industry. In this first of three videos from the Hospitality Design Expo, touch sensing provides access through a backlit and simulated push-button display for a high-tech door.

Use Touch Sensing for a New Look and Feel
Companies that want to give their products a distinctive look and feel are turning to touch sensing as an alternative to traditional push buttons. The simple flat surface is also easier to maintain and keep clean. As a result, a variety of medical, industrial, automotive and hospitality industry applications are appearing. One of the newest […]
Formula One Racing Experience Applied to World Class Racing Bike
In addition to all its sophisticated mechanical design for competitive racing, the Factor 001 has dozens of sensors to make over 21 measurements. The measurements indicate the environment, rider’s physical condition and performance. The sensing technologies include accelerometers, pressure, torque, humidity, temperature, position, speed, angular velocity and power sensors. Designed and manufactured by BERU f1systems […]
Ease Temperature Concerns: We’ll Call You
Adding to its USB, and Wi-Fi editions, Temperature@lert Cellular Edition monitors the ambient temperature in a server room or other critical area and alerts the user via email, telephone and text message when the temperature rises or falls outside of an acceptable range. The pre-calibrated digital temperature sensor is accurate to within ±0.5°C with a range […]
Customize Your Sensor
Settling for an off the shelf sensor may not be the way to go for application that has special requirements. As a result, Sherborne Sensors recent expansion of custom manufacturing capabilities for its accelerometer, inclinometer and load cell product lines, as well as its ability to design and develop a custom sensor could be advantageous. […]
Wireless Position Sensor
Honeywell Sensing and Control now offers the XYR6000 Wireless Position Sensor that works with its OneWireless™ systems. Operating at 2.4 GHz Discrete Sequential Spread Spectrum (DSSS), the unit has a data rate of 250 Kbps and nominal signal range of 305m (1000ft.) between Field Sensor and Infrastructure unit. The analog output has an accuracy of […]
Energy Harvesting for Enthusiasts
Anyone who likes the idea of something for nothing has to be interested in energy harvesting, getting the energy to avoid reliance on traditional energy sources such as batteries, for free – once the initial hardware investment has been made. Today, in addition to solar, wind and falling or flowing water, vibration, RF, heat and […]
Proximity Sensor for Welding Applications
Rather than frequently replacing a sensor in an abusive welding environment, a new inductive proximity sensor can provide increased impact protection. Balluff’s BunkerProx M18 sensor has a thick housing for withstanding mechanical impact in welding applications. A frontal-impact deflection ring protects the face from repeated welding impacts. In addition, the sensor’s ceramic face resists weld spatter […]
High Accuracy Signal Conditioning IC for Resistive Bridge Sensors
Whenever a new sensor signal conditioning circuit is announced, it’s smart to determine if it can simplify your existing sensor’s design, or get more performance for the next generation and/or save money. We’ll it’s time to check out a new circuit – especially if you have only been using/considering an IC with 12- to 14- […]
