Liquid Crystal Elastomer Material Holds Promise for Advanced Sensors

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), essentially rubbers with liquid crystal properties, can do a number of fascinating things, especially in the fields of optics, photonics, telecommunications and medicine. They can curl up, bend, twist, wrinkle and stretch when exposed to light, heat, gases and other stimuli. Because they are so responsive, they are ideal for applications like artificial muscles and blood vessels, actuators, sensors, plastic motors and drug delivery systems. They can even be used as a mechanically tunable mirrorless “rubber” laser.

Kistler Receives OIML Certificate for Vehicle Weigh in Motion Strip Sensor System

Kistler is the first WIM (Weigh In Motion) manufacturer to receive a certificate from the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) for vehicle weighing with strip sensors at speeds from 3 to 65 km/h. As OIML R-134 is the international metrology standard for legal weighing applications, the certificate paves the way for the use of Kistler WIM systems in applications such as weight-based toll collection and automatic weight enforcement.
