The all new PyroUSB 2.2 non-contact temperature sensors detect infrared radiation at wavelengths between 2.0 and 2.4 microns. This short-wavelength method of measurement allows much greater accuracy, and improved tolerance of optical obstructions or errors in emissivity setting, than longerwavelength sensors.

Silicon Laboratories Inc. and Hope Microelectronics today introduced a comprehensive family of RF modules based on Silicon Labs’ market-leading EZRadioPRO wireless radio family. Hope Microelectronics’ new RFM23B and RFM31B modules provide cost-effective, turnkey wireless networking solutions for bidirectional and one-way link applications such as in-vehicle anti-theft alarm systems.

ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE GmbH offers with the HSHCA a high-quality capacitive type humidity sensor for use in digital cameras, mobile phones, PCs, and notebooks, in health care applications, home appliances, robots and industrial machines.

RDP Electronics Ltd, sole distributor of MTS Industrial Series Temposonics transducers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, announce their new E Series range, bringing these high quality sensors into price contention with linear potentiometers for even basic applications.

Continental has developed a sensor for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles which will immediately shut off the high-voltage battery in the event of a collision while the vehicle is in charge mode. This means that emergency service personnel can recover vehicles without running the risk of suffering an electric shock.

Sensortechnics’ HCLA pressure sensors measure ultra-low gage or differential pressures from 2.5 mbar Full Scale. The sensors perform precision digital signal conditioning and achieve very high accuracies.

Movea has created a wireless, miniaturised, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that uses MEMS sensors to accurately measure 9 Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) motion with a PCB module that is about the size of a small wristwatch. The MotionPod is a patented hardware solution for motion sensing that incorporates a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis magnetometer in fully integrated package complete with software and wireless interface. The...

Honeywell today introduced a single side liquid media option to its extensive line of TruStability Pressure Sensors originally introduced in July 2009.

Honeywell today announced the SL353 Series Micropower Omnipolar Digital Hall-Effect Sensor Integrated Circuits (ICs). The SL353 Series uses a BiCMOS IC design, a new Honeywell technology, which makes it possible to add more performance and functionality while reducing the size of the IC (compared to bipolar technology).

Epson Toyocom provides the XV-3700CB, a high-sensitivity gyro-sensor with a wide detection range that has been optimized as an input device for motion user interfaces.
