Star Trek realness: "Tricorder" tech tracks cancer
When Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy needs to diagnose an ill member of the Starship Enterprise, he simply points his tricorder device at their body and it identifies their disease. Similarly, when Capt. Kirk beams down to an alien world, his tricorder quickly analyses if the atmosphere is safe to breathe. Much like them,Stanford engineers are using microwaves and ultrasound to create a safe and portable way to detect hidden objects.
Position sensor sustains measurement in high temperatures
TE Connectivity has added the MHR-T Series of high-temperature, miniature linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) to its line of linear displacement sensors. With a diameter of only 9.5 mm (3/8"), these high-reliability transducers accurately measure displacement in space-constrained applications including process controls, automation and robotics as well as chemical plants, hydraulics and power turbines.
Ionic Contamination Testers on show at productronica
Gen3 Systems will introduce a totally new design of its CM Series Contaminometer at productronica. Gen3 will be exhibiting alongside its German Distributor, Stannol GmbH.This new design is linked to the introduction of the new process control metric - Process Ionic Contamination Testing. The CM Series measure the amount of ionic contamination in accordance with all existing test methods often referred to as ROSE testing as well as the new PICT te...
Microcontroller takes aim at IoT applications
The Intel Quark microcontroller D1000, designed for Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and applications is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. Announced at Intel’s IoT Insights event in San Francisco, along with Intel Quark microcontroller D2000 and the Intel Quark SE microcontroller for IoT, this new technology extends intelligent computing to a new spectrum of data actuation applications and devices that require lower power co...
Wireless sensor solutions slated for Building Controls show
Exhibiting alongside one another at the Building Controls Show at Sandown Park (Oct 21-22) will be Alpha Micro and Linear Technology. Visitors will be able to learn more about scalable, reliable and resilient wireless sensor networking solutions from Dust Networks, a Linear Technology company.
Diaphragm sensors meet wide variety of applications
A line of linear and circular diaphragm sensors has been extended by Micro-Measurements, a Vishay Precision Group brand, with the introduction of smaller, higher-resistance patterns to serve a wider variety of pressure measurement applications. Strain gauge manufacturers have produced diaphragm gauges for use in pressure transducers for over 40 years.
Testing the new generation of integrated drives
The recent rise of interest in integrated motor/inverters units has led to the need for testing and mapping of their performance over a range of operating conditions. A wireless torque sense has been used as the heart of a dynamometer built for just this task.
Gen3 Systems to exhibit at SMTAI
Gen3 Systems announce that Ascentech LLC, its American distributor, will exhibit both GEN3 Systems’ products and Optilia Inspection equipment in booth 219 at the SMTA International Conference and Exhibition, scheduled to take place 29th to 30th, 2015 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Ascentech LLC will also participate in the SMTA International – National Physical Laboratory (NPL) Defect Database Live Solder Pa...
Shhhh! Microsoft quietly enters Guinness Book of Records
Microsoft has broken a Guinness World Record (another one!) to become officially recognised as home to the quietest room on Earth. Staff at the company’s Redmond, Washington campus in the USA, beat the standing record of minus 13 dB(A), earlier this month, after the company’s anechoic chamber proved to have an ambient background noise level as low as minus 20 dB(A).
Bluetooth interface developed for wireless TorqSense
A Bluetooth interface and Android app have been developed by Sensor Technology Ltd for its non-contact torque sensor, the TorqSense.
