At Sensors Expo 2019, Devin Brock, Manager of Product Knowledge and Training for Sensors Solutions at TE Connectivity, explains the numerous opportunities for a variety of sensors in an air conditioning (AC) system. The working table top heating ventilating and AC (HVAC) system from New Product Innovations has wired and wireless sensors from TE Connectivity […]
How can an RTC feature stabilize an image sensor’s output?
At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Sahil Choudhary, a product marketing manager at InvenSense, demonstrates how the real-time clock (RTC) feature in his company’s 6-axis (accelerometer and gyroscope) sensors provides accuracy and stabilization for critical imaging applications. For a specific device frequency, say 10 Hz, the RTC input ensures that the 10 Hz […]
What’s missing from many smart homes today?
In the home of the future, many different types of sensors will allow the owner and authorized users to activate several functions remotely. To avoid unauthorized users from accessing these systems and even gaining entry into the home, security must be designed in. At Sensors Expo 2019 in San Jose, Steve Hanna from Infineon who […]
PCB Piezotronics launches new accelerometers
PCB Piezotronics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), has released its smallest, 0.47-in. (11.8 mm), ground isolated, miniature triaxial cube accelerometers with TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet). Models J356A43 / 44 / 45 join the family of miniature triaxial ICP accelerometers with TEDS that are ideal for modal and structural […]
Vibration sensors monitor machine health for the IIoT
VocalZoon announced the launch of its next-generation predictive maintenance sensors for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). VocalZoom’s sensors measure the vibrations emitted by industrial machinery to predict and prevent mechanical failures before they occur. Because they can monitor machine health without touching the equipment, VocalZoom sensors cover a greater array of equipment and use […]
PCB Piezotronics Inc. now sells two case-isolated cryogenic ICP accelerometers
PCB Piezotronics Inc. of MTS Systems Corp. now sells two industrial case-isolated cryogenic ICP accelerometers — Models 637A06 and 638A06 — for use in low-temperature applications such as cryogenic centrifugal and reciprocating pumps. They are suitable for liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing; industrial gas processing (argon, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen); pharmaceutical production (statin drugs, […]
How can a sensor company successfully integrate with an acquiring larger electronics company?
The acquisition of successful microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor companies by larger and broader semiconductor manufacturers and even other larger sensor suppliers has occurred frequently within the past few years. While there are numerous post-acquisition steps that need to be taken to successfully integrate the two companies, a co-development project is technical way to demonstrate the […]
How can sensors be used for predictive maintenance?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Antonio Cirone from ST Microelectronics demonstrated and discussed different approaches for predictive maintenance for motors, fans and more using accelerometers, environmental and acoustic MEMS sensors. The demo has two motors. The green motor is balanced properly and the red motor is out of balance. Spectrum analysis of the triaxial accelerometer output […]
How can you track vibration?
At Sensors Expo, Pete Hulbert, a Test & Support Engineer from Silicon Designs explains one of the applications of his company’s industrial grade microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers using a tabletop track with moving cars. Three accelerometers are attached to the track in different locations (turns in the track) to determine the vibration in the track […]
How can sensors make a smart ball?
At Sensor Expo 2018 in San Jose, CA, an expert from NXP Semiconductors describes the Internet of Things (IoT) smart ball demo that NXP had in its booth. Sensors in the ball provide real-time data and the system can publish the data to the cloud using IBM Bluemix Services. The data includes 3-axis measurements from […]
