What’s new in supercapacitors for energy harvesting?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Pierre Mars, head of the applications team at Cap-XX, a supercapacitor manufacturer from Australia, explains the supercapacitor demos in their booth. Using a 800 mF supercapacitor provides the energy to power a 2.9V near-field communication (NFC) 13.5 MHz sensor puck from Silicon Labs. With the charged supercapacitor (above 2.6V) the unit […]
How can you ensure success for printed electronics?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Jaye Tyler, President and CEO of Si-Cal Technologies, an industrial screen-printing operation for advanced printed electronics, discussed how his company approaches electronic printing projects. The company prints in sheets and roll to roll screen printing processes. In sheets, they perform low volume printing very cost-effectively. In the sheet process, they can […]
What’s new in batteryless sensing?
To solve the problem of replacing batteries in ever-increasing wireless sensing applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), PsiKick has developed proprietary sensors called Smart Sense Nodes (or S2Ns) that employ ultra-low-power digital and RF circuit technologies. The S2Ns are powered by energy harvested from heat or indoor lighting that eliminates the need for a […]
What’s new in embedded gateways for sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Vishal Kakkad, director of product marketing at Lantronix explains the capabilities of the company’s Embedded Wired Ethernet IoT Gateway called the XPort Edge and software platform called MACH10 Global Device Manager. In a commercial water filtration system and a collection of data that a company would commonly want to monitor, the […]
What’s new in magnetic position sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Vinicius (Vinnie) Cardoso, a field application engineer at Melexis, demonstrates the capabilities of the company’s magnetic position sensors. Using an extremely eye catching 3-D LED structure, he shows how the MLX90333 Triaxis® position sensor indicates the position of a magnet. With red and blue LEDs indicating the north-south poles of a […]
What’s new in solar energy harvesting for sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Ben LeNail, Director of Business Development at Alta Devices, a maker of thin, flexible solar photovoltaic cells for energy harvesting, provided an update on the company’s technology, its applications and energy harvesting solutions for sensors. The company’s specialty photovoltaic cells are ultra-high efficiency devices. Alta Devices has held the world record […]
What’s new in sensing for robotic control?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Tatsuya Yuhara, from TDK Corporation demonstrates how to control a remote robotic arm with the company’s TAD2140 tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor. Following the arm and hand motion, the TMR sensor allows Yuhura to easily pick and place an object remotely. This kind of operation is common in hazardous operations where the […]
How can a core simplify pressure sensing applications?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Gary Winzeler, Vice President of Marketing & Sales for DunAn Sensing discussed the company’s new approach to specifying pressure sensors using a core approach. DunAn introduced their Ceramic Diaphragm Core (CDC) Core pressure transducer and the MEMS DURAsense Core (MDC) at Sensor Expo. Both allow pressure measurements to pumps, valves and […]
What’s new in magnetic sensors?
At Sensors Expo, Wayne Seto, Senior Director of Product Marketing from Crocus Technology, discusses the company’s tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) magnetic sensing technology. For sensing, TMR is used in number of different applications. Wayne demonstrated several digital latches with omnipolar (CT832DM), bipolar (CT852AN), unipolar (CT832EK, CT832BV, CT832SK and CT811DK) and analog (CT834DR) magnetics. For omnipolar sensing […]
