4-in-1 MEMS sensor measures gases, humidity, temperature and barometric pressure

March 1, 2021 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Whether at home, in the office, or outdoors, we need to be confident that the air around us is clean and safe to breathe – COVID-19 has clearly highlighted the importance of air quality. Due to the particulates, gases, and even airborne viruses ubiquitously present in our modern environment, poor air quality has an increasingly […]

What is exponential technology?

November 13, 2020 By Randy Frank

In his presentation at the COMSWORLD2020 virtual event, Janusz Bryzek of eXo Imaging, described many details to support his premise of the exponential acceleration of healthcare problems. According to Bryzek, the convergence of exponential technologies or ExTech is accelerating the availability of healthcare to all. Exponential technologies include different types of health sensors, big data, […]

What is a Molecular Property Spectrometer sensor?

November 11, 2020 By Randy Frank

To measure and classify a wide range of combustible gases, NevadaNano has integrated multiple, complementary chemical sensors on a single silicon chip called the Molecular Property Spectrometer or MPS sensor. The chip’s patented array of micro-cantilevers with integrated piezoelectric sensing elements provides electrical actuation and sensing of resonance frequency. Monitoring resonance is a highly sensitive […]

What is photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS)?

October 30, 2020 By Randy Frank

Identified in the 19th century, the photoacoustic effect allows the conversion of light into sound and has been employed in devices such as non-dispersive infrared absorption spectroscopy (NDIR), which was the first commercially available device to detect gases using this effect. Modulating the light intensity produces a periodic pressure variation, which is measured with a […]

What is a Sensor HAT?

August 22, 2020 By Randy Frank

HAT is a three-letter acronym (TLA) for hardware attached on top: the terminology used for a hardware specification for add-on modules for the Raspberry Pi model B+. With a HAT, no soldering is required, so the module simply plugs onto the Raspberry Pi. Taking advantage of this design concept and the popularity of the Raspberry […]
