How can awareness of the need for CO sensors be increased?

February 16, 2024 By Randy Frank

Public outcries for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to reduce their climate change impact have been widely promoted for more than two decades. However, attention to a more immediate public health problem from carbon monoxide (CO) has not received anywhere near the same level of attention– unless the deaths get news coverage. For example, in […]

How are sensors used in 3D bioprinting?

May 25, 2023 By Randy Frank

In general, three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a digital 3D model. With 3D bioprinting, the 3D constructs are living cells, biomaterials, bioactive components, and more. In the 21st Century, the generation and transplantation of several tissues, including multilayered skin, bone, vascular grafts, tracheal splints, heart tissue, […]

How can sensors protect vulnerable areas? part 4

April 26, 2023 By Randy Frank

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making ongoing efforts to address the unintended and purposeful contamination of the nation’s water supplies. Sensing technologies are an integral part of this strategy. In 2023, the EPA proposed new limits to drinking water contamination from toxic “forever chemicals” or perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Used widely as […]

How do sensors improve home appliances? Part 2

March 16, 2023 By Randy Frank

Part 1 of this blog discussed sensors in the laundry room in washing machines and dryers. In the kitchen, similar to the laundry room, basic functions can be designed in using established sensing techniques. In the typical home, the refrigerator is the second-largest consumer of electricity (13.7%), with the air conditioner being number one. So, […]

What’s the outlook for chemical sensors?

November 28, 2022 By Randy Frank

The current emphasis on providing products and materials with fewer environmental effects will have a direct impact on the chemical industry and chemical sensors. Obviously, this starts with, but is certainly not restricted to, reduced CO2 emissions. Chemical sensors have a wide range of applications, including healthcare, industrial, biotechnology, and household sensing requirements such as […]

How does air quality history impact data analysis?

August 29, 2022 By Randy Frank

Measuring air quality, like any other measurement process starts with the sensors.  The sensors provide the concentration of different elements in the air such as CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as other parametric data such as humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure and light level that affect the ambient environment indoors – or outdoors. […]
