Among other potential findings, the project aims to shed light on the effects of weightlessness on the circulatory system.
Liquid flow sensors feature tiny 10x10mm footprint
Suitable for a variety of medical and biomedical applications, the LPP10 and LPG10 liquid flow sensors have been announced by Sensirion. With a tiny 10x10mm footprint and no moving parts or obstacles in the flow path of the fluid, the flow sensors are available with a glass (LPG10) or a plastic (LPP10) packaging.
Humidity and temperature sensor suits wearables and mobiles
At the Mobile World Congress 2014, Sensirion will present the SHTW1, the company's latest humidity and temperature sensor. With low power consumption of just 2µW at 1 measurement per second and small package size of 1.3x0.7x0.5mm, the SHTW1 is suitable for a variety of applications in the wearable and mobile markets.
Sensor hub solution boosts development of smarter devices
Sensirion and Atmel have come together to deliver a new easy-to-use and power efficient sensor hub solution. The sensor hub solutions combine inputs from different sensors, which range from motion sensors to environmental sensors, such as Sensirion‘s humidity and temperature sensors.
WeatherPro with Sensor Support from Sensirion
The new version of WeatherPro for Android 3.0 now also supports sensors integrated in the cell phone, such as the humidity and temperature sensor from Sensirion. The sensor data is displayed in the daily forecast. This enables users to compare the data from their current location with the forecast values, making them better prepared for any weather.
Sensirion high precision Liquid Flow Sensor for 0-120ml/min flow rates
Sensirion have today introduced a new high precision liquid flow sensor, the SLQ-QT500. Designed specifically for the needs of the semiconductor industry, the SLQ-QT500 achieves outstanding performance thanks to its ultra-pure materials and outstanding precision. Featuring an absolutely straight flow channel and no moving parts, the SLQ-QT500 covers flow rates from 0 - 120ml/min.
Differential Pressure Sensors for Flow Measurement in Bypass Configuration
The Swiss sensor manufacturer Sensirion recently added new differential pressure sensors to its proven SDP600 series. The SDP601 and SDP611 sensors are differential pressure sensors specifically calibrated for measuring mass flow in a bypass configuration.
Sensirion to Open New Development Department in Taiwan
Sensirion has today announced that it is expanding its international corporate network by opening a research and development department at the Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park in Taiwan. With this step, Sensirion is consolidating its cooperation with suppliers on-site and can benefit from the local semiconductor industry's know-how. Setting up the research facility in Taiwan involves the employment of additional staff.
Sensirion announces world’s smallest SHTC1 humidity and temperature sensor
The tiny SHTC1 humidity and temperature sensor is specifically designed for mobile devices where size is a critical factor. Sensirion has rigorously followed the maxim smaller is better” and developed the world’s smallest sensor in its class, measuring a mere 2 x 2 x 0.8 mm.
New low-pressure-drop digital flow meter
Sensirion is launching the new digital SFM3000 mass flow meter for high-volume applications in medical devices, process automation and burner control. The flow channel is designed to achieve a very low pressure drop of less than 3mbar through the sensor element.
Low-cost differential pressure sensor features high measurement accuracy
Sensirion has launched the SPD500 low-cost positive differential pressure sensor. This fully calibrated and temperature compensated sensor is suitable for measuring differential pressure in the range of 0 to 500 Pa and is able to detect even minute pressure differences (less than 10 Pa). With a zero-point accuracy of 0.2 Pa, the sensor offers both low cost and excellent specifications.
New low-cost humidity and temperature sensor for high production volumes
Sensirion, is presenting the SHT20 humidity and temperature sensor at this year’s Sensor+Test trade fair. The SHT20 is a low-cost member of the SHT2x family of sensors, which are already being used in the millions in various applications.
New digital differential pressure sensors with low power consumption
Sensirion recently launched new differential pressure sensors in the SDP600 se-ries. The new SDP6x6 sensor line features especially low energy consumption, making it suitable for long-term battery operation. The SDP606 and SDP616 sen-sors are designed to enter sleep mode after performing each measurement. They wake up when a “measure” command is received and enter sleep mode again af-ter completing the measurement. The operation currents of a...
Sensirion launches first digital temperature sensor
Following the successful market launch of the SHT2x family of humidity and temperature sensors, Sensirion is now launching a sensor designed exclusively for temperature measurement. The new STS21 temperature sensor is based on the same chip as the SHT2x family and is housed in a tiny DFN package measuring only 3x3 mm. This makes the sensor ideal for use in applications where only very limited space is available.
Digital differential pressure sensors with very low measurement ranges
Sensirion has recently launched two new versions of its differential pressure sensors with-in the SDP600 series. The new sensors SDP6x0-125Pa and SDP6x0-25Pa feature par-ticularly low measurement ranges of -125 to +125 Pa and -25 to +25 Pa, respectively. Due to their better resolution, the new products have improved zero point accuracy of 0.1 Pa. In addition, zero point repeatability reaches a remarkable 0.05 Pa for the 125Pa ver-sion and 0.03 Pa...
Sensirion moves into a new production building in Switzerland
Sensirion inaugurated its new production building in mid-July 2011. After eight months of construction, the newly purchased production plant in Stäfa, Switzerland, situated just a few hundred meters from the main building, was ready for occupancy.
