Researchers at Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago asked themselves that question. Their answer is a wearable wireless sensor similar to a Band-Aid strip. The device mounts to the throat and detects breathing and coughing and a set of algorithms provide the analysis. Similar to sensors designed to monitor speech and swallowing in […]

What sensors are used to detect the coronavirus?
Thermography is the front-line sensing technology to detect and isolate victims of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The non-contact thermal sensors have been ubiquitous over the past few weeks as the numbers of those contracting the virus and dying as the result of it have risen. Accuracy of the infrared (IR) thermometer gun’s measurements depends on several […]
TE Connectivity’s new ultra-compact digital temperature sensor
In today’s world, industrial, consumer and even medical sectors are adopting digitalization to collect sensor data. While certain devices are fitted with analog-to-digital converters, the market demands increased accuracy, smaller size, higher versatility and lower prices as data is used for more precise controls. To meet this emerging need, TE Connectivity has designed the TSYS03, […]
How do sensors make a building more comfortable?
Temperature is certainly the most obvious answer but there are other sensors that are increasingly being employed in the smartest homes and buildings. With the right sensor inputs, several actions can be taken by actuators to increase health/safety as well as comfort. In addition to temperature measurements, pressure, humidity and air quality sensing in ducts […]

A versatile sensing solution for a variety of industries, the sensor has been engineered and redesigned to meet the harshest environmental conditions industrial applications have to offer. The 5024 EGR temperature sensor is a compact and economical NTC-based temperature sensor with a performance […]
How can sensing protect art and priceless artifacts?
Ultraviolet (UV) light, illuminance, temperature and humidity are all very harmful factors in a museum or an archival institution. These factors can all negatively affect the quality and longevity of a piece of art or artifact if the piece is exposed to extremes for too long. Data loggers that measure/monitor critical parameters and communicate with […]

Schaevitz Industries LLC, has expanded its line of measurement and control instrumentation with the addition of the model PMD-MXT series of thermocouple scanner indicators. This 32 Channel microprocessor-based temperature scanner provides continuous monitoring of up to 32 channels of thermocouple sensors. The large 14 mm tall digit […]
How can you get sensors online quickly and securely?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Bob Martin, a senior staff engineer for Microchip Technology describes how a security encryption element on two demo boards can securely connect sensors to the Internet for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. The AVR-IoT and the PIC-IoT development boards provide instant connectivity through bus connectors to the MikroElektronika Wi-Fi PLUS click. […]
What types of problems can fiber optic kinetic sensor solve?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Dennis Horwicz, Product Manager at Micronor explains how his company’s fiber optic sensors for mechanical motion applications can be used in challenging applications that include electromagnetic interference (EMI)/ radio frequency interference (RFI), radiation, high voltage, magnetic field, temperature extremes and even an explosive atmosphere. A fiber optic kinetic sensor to measure […]
