At Sensor Expo 2017, Jacob Hicks, the assistant product manager for Omron Electronic Components’ Sensors unit shows the capabilities of the D7S, a vibration sensor that can detect seismic waves, and Itron’s Riva development board for wireless communications. Partnering with Itron, Omron’s D7S sits on top of Itron’s Riva board. The D7S contains an ASIC, […]
What’s the future of augmented reality?
In his keynote address at Sensors Expo 2017, Ori Inbar, co-founder and CEO of AugmentedReality.org tells how augmented reality (AR) is poised for considerable growth. (Excerpt from “Superpowers to Change the World: How Augmented Reality Helps Advance Humanity.”) In 2009, Inbar told a conference audience that in ten years everyone will use AR to experience […]
How do you accelerate an energy harvesting design?
One of the more common techniques for accelerating designs and avoiding unexpected design problems involves software tools. For energy harvesting (EH) applications, Mentor Graphics on-line modeling and simulation platform called SystemVision, a cloud-based design system, provides component/system suppliers and users the basis for a new EH design tool. Since many designers are intrigued by the […]
Environmental Sensor Kits for Improving Indoor Air Quality
Monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ) is an essential aspect of a smart (or any) building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC ) system – especially as the sealing to minimize cooling or heating leakage has improved. One recent study found that well-ventilated offices with below-average levels of indoor pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) resulted in […]

Monitoring a Closed Loop Water Circulation System
At Sensors Expo 2016, Mike Stanley from NXP Semiconductors explains machine learning techniques in a closed loop water circulation system by sensing normal and abnormal vibrations using a Data Logger Reference Design. For information about the RD-KL25-AGMP01 10-Axis Sensor Data Logger Reference Design, click here.
Integrated Resolver Sensor Interface Boasts Smaller, Safer and More Accurate Rotary Position Sensing
Promoted as the industry’s first resolver sensor interface with an integrated power supply, exciter amplifier and functional safety features, Texas Instruments’ PGA411-Q1 resolver-to-digital converter’s architecture offers designers a lot from a 64-pin thermally enhanced thin quad flat pack (HTQFP) PowerPAD package. The high level of integration means the IC is capable of simultaneously exciting the […]
Second Gen Eval Kit Simplifies Design at Lower Cost
With today’s extensive technical capabilities, an evaluation kit is the key to a quick, successful design in. Improving on its previously released eval kit, ROHM has announced the availability of its SENSORSHLD1-EVK-101. The second-generation sensor shield integrates 10 on-board sensors. Providing a lower cost alternative to the previous version, the new kit includes standard Arduino […]
Accelerometer Demo Indicates Motion
At Sensors Expo 2015 in Long Beach, CA, Peter Hauck from Freescale Semiconductor demonstrates the capabilities of a cube with an integrated microcontroller and a 3-axis accelerometer, and a 3-color LED output to indicate various motion situations.
