Slow speed rotating machinery (typically, less than 300 RPM) is commonplace in many industrial applications, for example; cooling towers, hydro-electric turbines and wind power generation. To ensure this type of machinery and plant is functioning at optimal levels it’s essential to measure vibration, as much as it is a critical requirement for standard speed machinery applications.

Yume Cloud Inc., a startup specializing in sensor technology, today introduced its innovative multi-purpose cube, called GLOW, that interprets sensing data to create original and playful audio and visual effects.
Researchers at the Vanderbilt Sports Concussion Center (VSCC) are using novel sound wave technology as part of an attempt to more rapidly and accurately diagnose sports concussions on the sidelines during games.
MetaSensor, a Silicon Valley-based R&D organization creating next-generation, intelligent IoT devices with machine learning capabilities, today launched its beachhead product, Sensor-1, a military-grade, quarter-size security system. Sensor-1 will be available for pre-order on September 15, 2015, at www.metasensor.com.
Qualtré, Inc, a leader in the development and commercialization of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) MEMS inertial sensors, announced today the availability of a MEMS sensor evaluation platform with 11 degrees of freedom (DOF). This evaluation platform combines 3 axes of gyroscopic data, 3 axes of accelerometer data, 3 axes of magnetic (compass) data, plus barometric pressure/altitude, and temperature. Qualtré’s sensor fusion application software library leverages the Atmel® SMART SAM4E Flash microcontroller based on the high-performance 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4 RISC processor and floating point unit (FPU).
Enfucell has developed a SoftBattery® powered wireless golf sensor patch in a joint project with a leading technology company. The patch is attached to a golf club head for measuring acceleration and angular velocity. The acquired data is transferred via low energy Bluetooth (BLE) to an application on a mobile device.
Si-Ware Systems (SWS), a premier provider of IC- and MEMS-based solutions for industrial and consumer applications, is supplying its SWS1110, high performance inertial sensing conditioning ASIC, for First Sensor's new line of accelerometers and inclinometers.
When football helmets collide, they produce an unmistakable sound. With concerns rising over concussion risks, some parents and others are increasingly concerned about each pop they hear.
A new method of continuously monitoring the status of machinery is currently being developed by a research team led by Professor Andreas Schütze of Saarland University.
