Level sensing technologies
One of the most common functions for process control is level sensing, but it also uses a wide range of technologies to achieve the same goal. Therefore it is important to select the correct design for each application to ensure a reliable and accurate system.Bürkert UK’s, Midlands Area Technical Sales and Sensors worker, Greg Wainhouse, explained some of the various designs which are available.
European Conference on Integrated Optics 2017
In 2017 The European Conference on Integrated Optics return to Eindhoven at the Science Park of the Technical University of Eindhoven. They will retain the same clear focus on leading edge research, providing a forum for experts from industry and academia to share the latest new thinking and exchange new insights and findings in the fields of integrated optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics.
Key sensor advantages shown in India for first time
A regular exhibitor at the Automation India show, Sensor Technology, has gone with the theme of new and developing technologies on their stand at this year’s show in the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre.Sensor Technology will be showing extensions to its LoadSense range, an updates version of its ORT 230/240 range, at the show taking place, 22-25th August 2016.
A feel for bathroom design
The bathroom is not a place we tend to associate with technology but the advent of gesture-based interfaces can change all that. One of the big problems with bathroom controls is that we have to touch them - often with hands covered with soap. Being able to make a gesture to alter the flow of water or change its temperature can make a big difference to usability.
Graco adds flow control and servo options
Graco has announced that its PR70 Meter, Mix and Dispense Systems are now configurable with flow control and servo motor options, expanding their capacity to produce highly accurate and consistent beads in adhesive and sealant applications.
The challenge of capturing real world data
All mechanical systems in the real world experience some level of shock and vibration and these forces can take their toll on products (and people). Therefore, design engineers have always had a driving interest in finding ways to better understand our world in motion. California-based Diversified Technical Systems (DTS) look into the technology that is available in order to do this.
First ever vibration filtering accelerometers and tilt switches
A unique new family of acceleration and tip-over sensor components that includes four new sensors, the MXD6240 and 41AU, MXC6244AU, MXC6245XU has been announced by MEMSIC.
Eddy current tech at sensors expo and conference
The complete range of inductive eddy current technology of The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products, in the design and manufacture of high performance, precision non-contact position measuring systems, will be highlighted atSensors Expo and Conference, which will be held 21stto 23rdJune, 2016 at the McEnery Convention Center, in San Jose, CA, Booth #836.
Demonstrating tunable wetting and adhesion of graphene
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated doping-induced tunable wetting and adhesion of graphene, revealing unique opportunities for advanced coating materials and transducers. "Our study suggests for the first time that the doping-induced modulation of the charge carrier density in graphene influences its wettability and adhesion," explained SungWoo Nam, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechani...
Ultrasonic components in water treatment
Morgan Advanced Materials has applied its world-leading ultrasonic transducer technology to water purification, helping to deliver components which improve performance in wastewater applications. New processes using high-intensity ultrasound waves to break down bacterial biomass found in impurities in water, have become increasingly popular in recent times.
