Myriad Sensors Inc. is the latest recipient of the Cool Idea! Award, a service grant given to innovative companies by quick-turn manufacturer Proto Labs, Inc.. The California-based startup is the creator of the PocketLab device, which uses a wireless sensor and software platform to measure a number of different data fields that are then transmitted back to a computer or smartphone for analysis.
Identiv, Inc. today launched uTrust Sense, a range of compact, lightweight, cost-effective, physically flexible, secure, waterproof, Internet-enabled sensors. The first product is Identiv's uTrust Sense Temperature Tracker, a credit card-sized, powered smart sensor that tracks and stores temperature readings that can be read by mobile devices or uploaded to the Internet for analysis.
Security & Policing 2015 – American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E"), a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, today announced the United Kingdom (UK) debut of MINI Z™, the world's first handheld Z Backscatter® imaging scanner for fast, portable, real-time detection of hidden drugs, explosives, and other organic threats and contraband behind non-metallic surfaces.
Future visions of electromobility include a comprehensive charging station network. However, it would be impossible to monitor them all in order to protect them from being manipulated. Under the umbrella of the “SecMobil” project, engineers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), headed by Prof Dr Tim Güneysu and in collaboration with project partners, developed a new sensor for charging stations which unites three functions: in one chip, charging current is measured, manipulation to charging station is detected and all data are encoded, before being forwarded to the provider for invoicing purposes.
A range of stainless steel pressure sensors with digital i2C interface are now available from instrumentation specialist Impress Sensors & Systems Ltd.
Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge GPS, timing and frequency equipment, today announced the availability of its breakthrough product SAASM FireFly-IIA GPSDO combining for the first time a P(Y) capable military Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) dual-frequency GPS receiver with an ultra-low noise Double Oven Crystal Oscillator (DOCXO) on a ruggedized PC board with dimensions of only 2.0 x 2.85 x 0.9 inches.
Apple® today announced ResearchKit™, an open source software framework designed for medical and health research, helping doctors and scientists gather data more frequently and more accurately from participants using iPhone® apps. World-class research institutions have already developed apps with ResearchKit for studies on asthma, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.* Users decide if they want to participate in a study and how their data is shared.
Mercury Systems, Inc., a leading high-tech commercial provider of more affordable secure and sensor processing subsystems powering today's critical defense and intelligence applications, announced the rugged OpenVPX™ Ensemble® LDS3506 processing module that seamlessly integrates the Intel® Xeon® processor D system-on-a-chip (SoC) product family (formerly codenamed "Broadwell DE") with Xilinx's powerful Ultrascale™ FPGA in a SWaP-constrained 3U package.
Vantage mHealthcare Inc., ("Vantage") or (the "Company") today announced that Vantage’s manufacturer expects to deliver 100 Health Sensors over the next month to hospitals and research facilities in the United States and New Zealand, advancing to the next phase of its research and development process, in order to prepare for human clinical trials.
AliveCor, Inc. announced today the launch of the latest version of the AliveECG app, with two new FDA-cleared and CE-marked automated detectors that allow patients and physicians to focus on the ECGs that matter most. The new mobile app instantly detects when an ECG is either Normal or unreadable.
Pharmaco-Kinesis Corporation (PKC) and the Ohio Clinical Trials Collaborative (OCTC) today announced that they have agreed to explore the potential of a partnership aimed at the development of technology that provides physicians real-time patient information that once required days to secure.
Cemtrex announced today that it has developed a new In-situ NDIR Analyzer for continuous emissions monitoring applications, the IS 2500 Multi Gas Analyzer. The IS 2500 Multi Gas Analyzer combines Cemtrex's vast expertise in gas measurement in a smaller package that can be mounted on stacks to lower the cost of emissions monitoring typically done from extractive systems.

Laser self-mixing is usually used for measurement of low velocities and vibrations. In a paper just published in Optical Engineering the authors explore the use of the method for the measurement of velocity and density of gas jets based on self-contained optical feedback.
attocube’s award winning FPS3010 - the ultra-high sensitivity, high bandwidth interferometric displacement sensor – is now available with new sensor heads. These were specifically designed for the use in extremely confined spaces: With a diameter of only 1.2 millimeters the ultra-compact ‘xxs’ heads can now even perform measurements in applications, which simply had not been accessible for metrological instruments before.
