Multi-sensor configurations for oil, gas, and petroleum measurements continually acquire sensitive pressure and thermal data. However, capturing the various combinations of physical temperature and ...

Editor’s note: This month we are pleased to have Colin Wells from Texas Instruments as our blogger. In modern industrial control systems, 4-20 mA current-loop transmitters remain one of the most ...

Handling cameras, radar, and sensors in one system can be very complex. Imagine sending data, power, and control over a ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

Melexis has brought out a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Measuring the signals from extremely high-impedance sensors is a difficult task. Such sensors can have output ...
