Macro Sensors Produces ‘Made in the USA’ LVDT Position Sensors

Offshore production has lost much of its past glamour. While cost was once a major factor in outsourcing manufacturing, rising wages, quality issues and unstable supply chains are prompting many manufacturers to reconsider the benefits of reshoring production back on U.S. soil. Macro Sensors already maintains much of its manufacturing at its Pennsauken, New Jersey headquarters, producing linear and rotary position sensors that are “Made in the USA”.

Encouraging Results for Electronic Nose Consisting of Cluster of Nonspecific Sensors

We may soon be able to make easy and early diagnoses of prostate cancer by smell. Investigators in Finland have established that a novel noninvasive technique can detect prostate cancer using an electronic nose. In a proof of principle study, the eNose successfully discriminated between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by "sniffing" urine headspace (the space directly above the urine sample).
