Roger Grace Associates has announced the call for abstracts covering medtech/wearable applications for a full-day symposium preceding the Sensors Converge conference. Both the symposium and conference will take place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, CA. The pre-conference symposium will address printed/flexible stretchable (P/F/S) and functional fabric (FF) Sensors and electronics from a […]
Flexible sensing
What can foil sensors measure?
With their Individual design, adjustable sensor type and shape, as well as ultrathin and flexible structures, accensors, a business unit of sensor-based product developer innoME GmbH, says its foil sensors can be integrated into many new applications. Using printing, dispensing, pick and play as well as additive or ablatable processes, accensors has developed multilayer structure, […]
Thin film haptic actuators create high-fidelity in a localized way
While piezoelectric haptic solutions are found in many applications, they are often large and heavy, thus shaking the entire device. KEMET’s new piezoelectric polymer film haptic actuators are thin (150 µm), flexible and conformable devices made from a proprietary, patent-protected paper-thin material, an electro-active polymer film, that enables piezoelectric effects to mimic the sense of […]
New Two-Sensor ICP blast pencil probe
PCB’s new quartz, free-field, ICP blast pressure pencil probe is a two-sensor pencil blast probe that provides time of arrival and the pressure time wave form for total impulse measurement, all in a single sensor. The Model 137B25 pencil probe is the first of its kind and features an extremely fast micro-second response time, with […]
Smart Helmet Employs Force Location Sensing
In its Smart Helmet Sensor System, BeBop Sensors claims the first helmet system employing a Force Location Sensor System. The company’s flexible fabric sensors provide high resolution, location-specific impact information. In addition to sensing velocity thresholds, a latticed array of over 40 sensors embedded in the helmet liner, gives it the ability to track the […]
