A cool thing about space: cryogenic refrigerators from Northrop Grumman Corporation that chill satellite sensors to hundreds of degrees below zero Fahrenheit (degrees F) for maximum sensitivity.
With increasing pressure on vehicle manufacturers to downsize engine components, minimise the weight of onboard systems and therefore reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions, the requirement for extremely compact, high performance sensors is now critical, especially if installation space is also restricted.
A new clinical study published in Current Therapeutic Research affirms that the temporal artery (TA) thermometer is the most accurate substitute for rectal measurement in children. The study tested the accuracy of less invasive thermometers, including tympanic, infrared skin scan, and temporal artery, compared to rectal measurement to reflect core temperature.
At the Sensors & Instrumentation exhibition (30th September � 1st October 2014) at the NEC, Birmingham, Micro-Hybrid Electronic GmbH (stand A1), a high-tech manufacturer of micro-systems technology and infrared components and part of the Micro-Epsilon Group, will use the show to officially launch its products into the UK market. Micro-Epsilon and Micro-Hybrid (stand B38/A1) will share a stand at the exhibition.
