Researchers at Tokyo Tech invent a flexible patch containing carbon nanotubes and stretchable conductors that can fit inside a pipe to detect real-time changes in water temperature or the presence of contaminants, which may improve sanitation during industrial processes
Posture is a vital part of health. Continued poor posture, like leaning to one side or slouching, could result in discomfort and pain. It has also been proven to intensify the risk of strokes, vision problems, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal diseases.
Canadian company GHGSat, which specializes in high-resolution GHG monitoring from space, launches three new ABB-built optical sensors into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, do...
Kistler's new 4017A piezoresistive (PR), absolute pressure sensor combines excellent measurement capability with suitability for a wide range of applications, especially power train development at the highest levels of motorsport.
Two sound events occur during a gunshot: the muzzle explosion and the supersonic shock wave. Acoustic sensors, including single or arrays of microphones, can pick up these sounds and use them to estimate a shooter’s location.
The Swiss company FiveCo launches compact data loggers under its new brand THEye. These monitor temperature and humidity of the environment for various applications such as the transportation of perishable goods or precious objects.
Engineers from the University of California, San Diego, have created a low-cost, low-power device to assist robots in properly mapping their path indoors, even in low-light conditions and in the absence of identifiable landmarks or features.
The skin is not only the largest sensory organ but also the protective covering of human beings. It “feels” numerous sensory inputs simultaneously and reports information concerning temperature, humidity, and pressure to the brain.
The need to carry out invasive, twice-daily blood draws, to track the electrolyte levels of babies in the Newborn Intensive Care Units (NICUs), could be eliminated with a wireless, bioelectronic pacifier.
MSR-Electronic digital gas sensors monitor CO2 and lack of oxygen. Supercritical CO2 extraction is a proven, environmentally-friendly, guaranteed chemical- and solvent-residue-free process, which is used to generate a wide variety of extracts and raffinates.
Temperature sensing with the high spatial and temporal resolution is crucial in many industries, including industrial manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and healthcare monitoring.
The Rotronic digital sensors communicate to data loggers (wired or wireless) and all communication to the server and database is done digitally as such there is no loss in accuracy during data transmission.
The new Easidew Advanced Online Dew-Point Hygrometer from Michell Instruments measures dew point, moisture content and now also pressure.
The SenzTx Oxygen Transmitter from Process Sensing Technologies (PST) utilizes proven sensortechnology to provide accurate oxygen concentration measurement.
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have developed a technology that would facilitate continuous monitoring attainable with wireless implantable devices to improve the treatment of vascular diseases.
