What are the do’s and don’ts of sensor commercialization?
If you have a new sensor or sensor technology that you want to establish in the marketplace, getting some advice from industry experts could prevent you from making mistakes that others have made. The Micro, Nano and Emerging Technologies Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) is an excellent source for experts in this area. MANCEF’s charter is […]
How can energy harvesting be used in industrial applications?
Energy harvesting (EH) or converting renewable or existing sources of energy to electrical power can occur with several sources including light, heat, and motion providing the input. Photoelectric, thermoelectric, piezoelectric and electrodynamic techniques are well-known and often used to power sensing nodes that transmit data to a central controller. Depending on how much light is […]
