Proven and Improved – the SDP800 Series Differential Pressure Sensors
Sensirion, a manufacturer of high-quality flow and environmental sensors, presents the new differential pressure sensors of the SDP800 series. The sensors are the result of more than 15 years of experience in measuring air flow to millions of HVAC systems, car engines and patients. They consequently utilize the successful features of the SDP600 differential pressure […]
How can a sensor prevent snoring?
At CES 2017, Behrouz Hariri, CEO & Co-founder of Smart Nora explains how a microphone in his company’s system listens for the earliest indication of snoring. Since people transition from breathing to snoring at around 40 to 42 dB, once this level is detected, an inflatable portion of the system beneath the pillow creates a […]
How does a smart home control windows, blinds & shutters?
At CES, Marketing Director Michael Rasmussen of the VELUX Group explains how a partnership between Velux A/S and Netatmo achieves the first smart roof, windows, blinds & shutters solutions using sensor technology to measure temperature humidity, CO2 and sunlight level. Velux provides the electrically operated hardware and Netatmo provides the sensing technology. The systems software […]
How can patients monitor their glucose level without drawing blood?
At CES 2017, Luc Pierat, Founder and CEO of PKvitality tells how K’Track Glucose, a watch-like fitness monitor with an added sensing module can calculate glucose without drawing blood by sampling interstitial fluid just below the skin with a chemical sensor. The Glucose K’apsul biosensor fits into the base of the device and effortlessly probes […]
How can patients know they are performing physical therapy properly at home?
At CES 2017, Mickey Ferri, cofounder of Enflux describes how his company’s motion capture clothing’s capabilities can used by patients recovering from shoulder injuries. Using microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors embedded in clothing to measure changes in orientation, the data can be displayed on monitor and used remotely by caregivers to track the […]
How can Alexa lock a door?
At CES 2017, Paul Gerhardt, Cofounder of Lockitron demonstrates how the voice recognition capabilities of Alexa’s microphone (pressure sensor) and software can be used to remotely lock (or unlock) his company’s Bolt smart lock. Cloud to cloud integration allows the user to trigger Alexa remotely.
How can motion sensors help stroke victims?
At CES 2017, Paul Ruelos from Neofect demonstrates the occupational benefits to stroke victims and others who have neurological disorders from the company’s Rapael smart glove. Using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) bending and axis sensors in a flexible exoskeleton glove combined with the company’s Rapael software and a graphical user interface, the system collects range of […]
Customized transducer for differential pressure applications
The UTD20 is a customized transducer that features a piezo-resistive silicon sensor for differential pressure applications. Outputs are voltage or UART digital. Measuring ranges from 0 to 1.5 bar–the measuring range and zero set point can be set. Accuracy is < ±0.5 % of the nominal range (total performance) and temperature range is from -40 to 85° C. Other features include: • Sensor preconfigured […]
Solid State Oxygen Sensors Use Optical Technology
Zirconia is commonly used for oxygen sensing. In addition to this technique, SST Sensing Ltd. has added the LuminOx family of optical oxygen sensors to its product offerings. The sensors use fluorescence quenching by oxygen where pulsed light is directed onto an oxygen-sensitive fluorescent dye causing it to fluoresce. The rate at which this fluorescence […]
