What can you do with a water-resistant pressure sensor?
At Sensors Expo 2018, a product marketing engineer for ST Microelectronics demonstrates how a water-resistant pressure sensor mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) can be submerged in water and provide accurate readings. With this capability, it has potential applications in wearable devices, altimeters and barometers for portable devices, GPS applications, weather station equipment, Industry […]
How can sensing be distributed in a smart building?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Masakazu Shiinoki, a field application engineer from the MEMS Sensor Business Unit of Omron shows how different microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensing technologies can be used in a building. The three (ground, first and second) floors use barometric (absolute pressure), airflow and differential pressure sensors. In addition, the first floor has an […]
How do you design a winning pressure sensor demo?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Caleb Kim from ROHM Semiconductor explains a visually intriguing display in his booth. A ROHM pressure sensor was used to build a game. Whenever the ball portion of the game is struck, the pressure sensor attached to the ball measures the difference in pressure. The harder the ball is hit, the […]

All Sensors Corporation of Morgan Hill, California has announced a brand new, low-pressure sensor, the DLLR Series. This new device series offers design engineers exceptional performance for pressure ranges of 10 and 30 inH2O. The DLLR Series features best-in-class Total Error Band and accuracy. This new product family offers a fully customizable, turn-key solution for […]
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 […]
Harsh media compatible pressure transducer eliminates O-ring package seal
DunAn Sensing has announced here at the Sensors Midwest, the availability of its MP Series of harsh media compatible pressure transducers. The MP series uses DunAn Sensing’s proprietary DURAsenseâ unique packaging and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor integration strategy with a hermetically sealed pressure fitting at a low cost while eliminating the troublesome and highly […]
How fast can a MEMS pressure sensor respond?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Giovanni De Majo from audio and pressure sensor product marketing at ams AG, discusses the company’s pressure sensor demo. Using two pressure sensors, the demo indicates relative height. Manually moving the pressure sensor up a measuring stick that shows the height change, a display also provides a continuous measurement from a […]
How can a core simplify pressure sensing applications?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Gary Winzeler, Vice President of Marketing & Sales for DunAn Sensing discussed the company’s new approach to specifying pressure sensors using a core approach. DunAn introduced their Ceramic Diaphragm Core (CDC) Core pressure transducer and the MEMS DURAsense Core (MDC) at Sensor Expo. Both allow pressure measurements to pumps, valves and […]
