Wireless headphones were an up and coming trend; now ear-free headphones are available. BATBAND is a piece of sound technology allowing users to privately listen to music or chosen sound as well as being able to hear the world around them. The ear-free heaphones work via bone conduction, consisting of transducers that emit sound waves perceived by the 'private' inner ear, freeing the 'social' outer ear.

The resistance thermometer GA2730 Minitherm of LABOM has a matching range of thermowells for hygienic temperature measurement and is approved for use in explosive environments. In addition the Pt100 element meets the SIL2 safety requirements of EN 61508 for functional safety. The unique combination of equally high hygienic and safety standards qualifies the type series GA2730 Minitherm for the thermowell system HP1200 for demanding measurement ta...

Metrix recently announced ATEX approval for its Digital Proximity System (DPS). Available with full support in the UK from Ixthus Instrumentation, the Metrix DPS is a three-part field-configurable measurement system for position, radial vibration and speed that comprises a digital proximity transducer, interfacing cable and a choice of signal conditioner - available as a driver for a machinery protection system or as a transmitter with a 4-20 mA ...

An ultrasound sensor for detecting dangerous cracks in structures such as aircraft engines, oil and gas pipelines and nuclear plants has been developed by researchers at the University of Strathclyde, with inspiration from the natural world.

As more and more wireless devices come to the market, concerns have emerged within the standards body responsible for managing the radio spectrum allocation and wireless device conformance that more guidance is needed to help ensure spectrum sharing. Tony Ingham of Sensor Technology reviews the situation.

Engineers from UC Berkeley, in collaboration with colleagues at Taiwan’s National Chiao Tung University, have 3D-printed a wireless 'smart cap' that can detect signs of spoilage in milk cartons using embedded sensors.

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology demystify the ferroelectric properties observed in hafnium-oxide-based thin films, revealing a potentially useful device material.

A new stocking programme has been instigated by Micro Measurements and its distributor Digi-Key Electronics covering a wide range of standard strain gauges. It includes most popular models used in critical circuits for load cells, force transducers, avionics, transportation, high-temperature, military, and space systems, in addition to automatic test equipment, farm machinery, alternative energy, automotive, medical, and energy exploration applic...

Test carried out by Morgan Advanced Materials on its proprietary range of Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) materials for deep sea applications are proving they can withstand pressures greater than any they are likely to encounter in deep sea use with no loss of performance.

German manufacturer of soft magnetic materials and inductive components, SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus, has expanded its portfolio of inductive components with the development and design of magnetically coupled components.
