Piezoceramic the key in protective mask production
The use of protective masks in public places for the mutual protection against the novel coronavirus is currently being intensively and controversially discussed in countries around the world. However, the special protection these masks provide in the medical field and especially in the treatment of COVID-19 patients is beyond question, herepiezoceramic is key.
Partnership shows off graphene hall effect sensor
Paragraf has embarked on a working partnership with the Magnetic Measurement section at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to demonstrate how new opportunities for magnetic measurements are opened up through the properties of its graphene hall effect sensor.
Pressure transducers measure from 100 PSI to 3,000 PSI
TTI is now offering Amphenol’s SSI Technology P61 Pressure and Temperature Transducer.
Key technologies defining smarter factories: sensors
In this next instalment of our blog series on the future of industrial automation, smarter factories will be looking at the role of sensor technology. The ongoing digitisation of industrial processes will increasingly rely on the use of a wide range of different sensor devices, incorporated into equipment throughout production lines and also the supply channels that feed them. By Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics
New digitisers provide up to 5 MS/s speeds
Spectrum Instrumentation has released 11 new digitiser products that are specifically intended for the capture and analysis of electronic signals in the DC to 2MHz frequency range.
Good things come in automated packages
The earliest printed circuit boards, patented by Austrian inventor Paul Eisler in 1943, were assembled by hand. The tedious method involved manually cutting, trimming and soldering numerous wires. The process was slow and prone to error and unfortunately, it hasn’t evolved much since.
Sensor technology helps to keep sheep shorn
TorqSense transducers from Sensor Technology are playing an important role in new product development at Gloucestershire-based Lister Shearing. The sensors, which are based on SAW (surface acoustic wave) technology, are being used by the company as an aid to evaluating the performance of miniature electric motors.
An insight into measuring viscosity wirelessly
If precise mixing is a crucial process variable, viscosity measurement may be the most accurate way to ensure optimum performance. But rotating mixers can lead to very tangled wiring, so here Mark Ingham of Sensor Technology looks at wireless options.
Win a Microchip MCP3564 ADC Evaluation Board for PIC32 MCUs
The MCP3564 ADC Evaluation Board for PIC32 MCUs (ADM00583) provides the ability to evaluate the performance of the MCP3564. Providing a development platform for 32-bit PIC device-based applications, using existing 100-pin PIC microcontroller Plug-in Module (PIM) systems that are compatible with the Explorer 16 and other high-pin count PIC32 device-based demo boards.
Innovative wireless torque sensor for durability testing
An innovative TorqSense wireless torque sensor from Sensor Technology provided an effective solution to an interesting engineering challenge when Advanced Design Innovations (ADI) was asked by Bristan to develop a new durability test rig to help optimise product performance.
