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
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
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
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 […]
MEMS Piezoresistive Low Pressure Sensing Die
Morgan Hill, CA – All Sensors Corporation announces the introduction of a low pressure sensor die for high volume applications requiring pressure measurement to as low as a quarter inch of water full scale. This introduction of a new pressure sensor die marks the fifth major silicon pressure sensor die topology to be introduced over […]
