Reliably Sensing Ultra Low Pressure

August 11, 2011 By Randy Frank

Honeywell TruStability ultra-low pressure sensors have three performance attributes difficult to achieve in the same product: high sensitivity with high overpressure and burst pressure. The new sensors have an amplified compensated digital or analog output for reading pressure over the full-scale pressure span in the ultra-low pressure range of ±2.5 mbar to ±40 mbar [±1 […]

Sensing in the AR.Drone Quadricopter

January 21, 2011 By Randy Frank

Controlled by a cell phone (iPhone/iPod, Touch/iPad and others), Parrot’s AR.Drone quadricopter uses pressure sensors (for altitude) and camera sensors for its control. At the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas, Yoni Benatar, project manager for Parrot explains the sensors in the wirelessly-controlled aerial robot to Sensor Tips senior editor Randy Frank. The AR.Drone employs […]

Sense Differential Pressure over a Wide Range in Medical Ventilation Applications

December 28, 2010 By Randy Frank

While many medical ventilation measurements are easily handled by a 0 to 500 Pa differential pressure sensor, some require a wider dynamic range. For these applications, Sensirion introduced the SDP2108-R sensor. Based on its SDP1108-R that covers a measurement range of 0 to 500 Pa, the SDP2108-R addresses a  range of 0 to 3500 Pa.The […]

Measuring Surface Contact and Pressure Distribution Between a Heat Sink and Its Source

September 7, 2010 By Randy Frank

Sensor Products Inc.’s Tactilus heat-sink analysis system uses a flexible sensor and hub to display heat sink data on a PC for heat-generating chips such as a CPU. Since it is flexible and only 0.015-in. thick (0.38 mm), the sensor can be placed between the CPU and heat sink without affecting the assembly. Data can […]
