Linear Sensor Built For Hydraulic Applications
Position feedback devices are commonly implemented in hydraulic applications for monitoring the performance accuracy of actuators and cylinders to improve operational efficiencies. The environment in which the embedded sensor must survive can be problematic. The hydraulic fluid is under high pressures and temperatures and the actuators and cylinders typically live in environments where heavy shock […]
US ARMY To Have Portable Toxic Gas Sensor Developed
The US Army has awarded a contract to Platypus Technologies for the development of a portable sensor that can detect deadly gases and other toxins. Under the $2.2m contract, Platypus will continue to develop sensors that have an ultra-thin layer of gold film coated with receptors that make it turn lighter or darker when it […]
