How does a finger unlock a door?
At Sensor Expo 2019, Marcia Ratton from TDK InvenSense demonstrates how the UltraPrint Sensor (TCFS-3000) precisely identifies a finger print. Integrated into a door lock, the image from the sensor is displayed on a screen to demonstrate the clarity and details of the image. The ultrasonic fingerprint imaging uses proprietary InvenSense, a TDK Group company, […]
What does complete predictive machine maintenance look like?
At Sensor Expo 2019, Edoardo Gallizio from product marketing for MEMS & Sensors in the Americas at STMicroelectronics demonstrates a complete predictive maintenance reference design. Multiple sensors are part of the monitoring where some sensors are mounted directly on a spinning wheel to continuously measure vibration. The sensors gather the data, a microprocessor accesses the […]
What happens when the earth moves?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Satya Dixit from Applications and Systems Engineering at Rohm Semiconductor explains the capabilities and applications for an earthquake sensor module. The earthquake detection module (BP3901) has correctly detected 200 out of 205 previous cases of seismic events. Waveform differences between a seismic event and an external event such as a collision […]
How can you improve the next-generation IMU?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Lou Thaddeo, the Director of Business Development for Thales Visionix Inc. discusses how Visionix’s newest NavChip Series 3 inertial measurement unit (IMU) plays a critical role in helmet mounted displays for pilot head tracking and other applications. The 6-axis (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope) IMU implements enhanced performance over NavChip Series […]

How does sensor fusion improve an alarm system?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Tanja Hofner, a Principal Hardware Engineer for RF and Sensors in Infineon’s Power Management and Multimarket segment explains the operation of the company’s Integrated Alarm System demo. The demo uses two Infineon sensors: the digital XENSIV IM69D130 microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone and a DPS310 digital barometric pressure sensor as well as […]
Contactless touch sensing for safer interactions
by Richard Berglind, Sr. Optical Engineer, Neonode Inc. Smartphones and other portable products have made touch the human machine interface (HMI) of choice for many other products. Touch sensing is easy to implement, easy to use, reliable and cost-effective. However, there are many applications and situations where physically touching a device is not desired and, […]
What sensors can be used in an AC system?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Devin Brock, Manager of Product Knowledge and Training for Sensors Solutions at TE Connectivity, explains the numerous opportunities for a variety of sensors in an air conditioning (AC) system. The working table top heating ventilating and AC (HVAC) system from New Product Innovations has wired and wireless sensors from TE Connectivity […]
How can solar provide power to the IoT?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Ben Lanail, Director of Business Development at Alta Devices, explains how his company’s thin-film solar voltaic cells can provide power for a variety of devices and applications, including the Internet of Things (IoT). Made from wide band gap (WBG) gallium arsenide (GaAs), the cells have very good light to electricity conversion […]
