Variable Capacitance Pressure Transducers Address Extreme Environment Industrial Apps
Available in pressure ranges from 1 to 10,000 psig, Setra Systems Model 209 variable capacitance pressure transducers offer users several choices. In addition to gauge, sealed gauge, or vacuum pressure options, output choices include: 4-20 mA, 0.5 to 5.5 Vdc, 1 to 6 Vdc or 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc output. The sensors have ±0.25% full-scale […]
New Technology for Industrial Pressure Sensors
Piezoresistive technology is used extensively in MEMS pressure sensors. To extend the pressure range and improve accuracy and stability of pressure sensors for industrial applications, GE Energy’s Measurement & Control Solutions division developed Trench Etched Resonant Pressure (TERPS) technology. Resonant Pressure Transducer (RPT) has been used to fabricate a pressure sensor with a resonator and […]
Robot Provides Virtual Presence at 2012 CES (Pt 2)
At the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Alexandra Dopplinger, a marketing manager at Freescale Semiconductor explains the capability of a remote robot that she controls from her location in Ottawa, Canada. Freescale’s pressure sensors and accelerometers are used in the design of the robot as well as proximity sensors to detect […]
Sensors Enable Portable Healthcare Innovations
Sensors as well as communication ICs and microcontrollers provide the enabling technologies for several new innovations in healthcare. A Kalorama Information Dec. 1, 2010 report estimates that the global market for medical mobile apps hit $84.M in 2010, increasing more than 2X its 2009 level of $41M. This is just the downloadable software portion of […]
