Monitor pH or ORP Values plus Temperature with One Transmitter
Changes in process fluids indicated by pH or oxidation reduction potential (ORP, measured in mV), and temperature for more accurate control in water, chemical, electronics, food production, environmental and wastewater applications are easily monitored with Sensorex’s TX-3000 pH/mV transmitter. The transmitter’s dual output design provides an isolated, 0 or 4 – 20mA output for pH […]
Sensing Technology Targets Farmers and Ranchers
Eking out the greatest return from the land requires today’s farmers and ranchers to carefully manage energy consumption, water levels, and equipment operations as well as monitor hazardous conditions that could jeopardize their livestock and consumables. Global Monitoring’s Messenger Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU) addresses these requirements. The RMU provides the capability to remotely manage and […]
Shirt Integrates Sensors and More for Health Monitoring
With the market for wearable devices projected to reach more than 100 million units annually by 2016 according to ABI Research, many companies are pursuing new products to take advantage of consumer interest. Collaboration of three companies, Maxim Integrated, Clearbridge VitalSigns, and Orbital Research, has produced the Fit shirt for preventive medical care that could reduce […]
World’s Smallest Humidity and Temperature Sensor
The tiny SHTC1 humidity and temperature sensor is specifically designed for mobile devices where size is a critical factor. Sensirion has rigorously followed the maxim “smaller is better” and developed the world’s smallest sensor in its class, measuring a mere 2 x 2 x 0.8 mm. The sensor is based on the proven CMOSens® Technology, […]
Wireless Sensing Simplified
With the addition of thermocouples and analog sensor nodes, MicroStrain’s LXRS wireless sensor network supports a broad range of measurement capabilities including temperature, acceleration, displacement, environmental, and most analog sensor inputs. The new sensing products include TC-Link wireless thermocouple nodes (1-ch, 6-ch and OEM) as well as SG-Link OEM wireless analog sensor nodes. LXRS (short […]
Learn from Other Users’ Applications of Infrared Thermometers
If you are interested is using infrared (IR) thermometry but have concerns about what to expect when they are applied to a specific application, Raytek may be able to set your mind at ease. The company has established an online collection of end-user case studies it calls Application Success Stories. The case studies provide information […]
Printed Battery Assists RFID Sensor
Monitoring a product’s or container’s temperature through the supply chain to ensure that a critical temperature has been maintained or avoided is an existing sensing application that can increase with the right product. Blue Spark Technologies and IDS Microchip have developed a design solution: a battery-assisted passive (BAP) RFID tag reference design. The design uses […]
Sensing in Home Monitoring and Control
Joyce Warrington of Ingersoll Rand Residential Solutions explains the sensing that can be incorporated in a home monitoring system at the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. The control and monitoring is made possible by Nexia Home Intelligence (formerly Schlage LiNK) based on Z-Wave technology. To watch the video, click here. For […]
Infrared Sensor IC Addresses Temperature Measurements in Demanding Environments
Designed to measure high object temperatures (maximum of 1030°C), Melexis MLX90616ESF-HCA thermopile sensors have a stabilization period of less than half a minute instead of times that can extend up to half an hour. In addition to a secondary thermopile sensor that detects temperature variations in the package and in the optical assembly, for integration […]
