by Randy Frank, Contributing Editor In medical and healthcare applications, sensors cover a variety of aspects from routine to critical patient measurements and more. There are several different sensing techniques that specifically address well being and health monitoring. The increasing importance of sensors is noted by the 2012 market research report’s (World Sensors Market in […]
Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC)
Sense Gas Flow with Ultrasonic Sensors
The piezoelectric effect demonstrated in piezoceramic materials, provides sensor and actuators for many applications. Recently, Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC) developed a line of ultrasonic sensors for gas flow measurement using piezoceramic materials. The sensor uses the transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves across a gas channel for time of flight measurement and subsequent flow calculation. […]
