Morgan Advanced Materials has once again pushed the boundaries of sensor design and construction and has developed the capability to reliably manufacture compact, lead zirconium titanate (PZT) based ultrasonic sensors for continuous operation between -30°C and 160°C.

Energy and water metering can now be made more accurate by an order of magnitude says Maxim Integrated by using the MAXREFDES70# ultrasonic flow meter system. Its low power attributes mean it can operate for up to 20 years on a single “A”- size battery. It will see off the traditional mechanical flow meters prone to friction and contaminants, which causes inaccurate meter readings.

The AT/ATR-LS Current Transducer, available from NK Technologies, combines a current transformer and signal conditioner to monitor large loads. The AT/ATR-LS is easy to install due to a large, split-core design that can be installed over existing conductors without disconnecting the load, even in applications with multiple conductors per phase.

An industrial pressure transducer has been launched that offers maximum design flexibility with a variety of pressure ports and electrical configurations available for low to medium volume OEM applications. The U5300 from Measurement Specialities features superior accuracy with a total error band (TEB) of ±0.5% F.S. for demanding commercial and heavy duty applications.

Non-contacting torque sensing technology is delivering improved monitoring and control to materials handling applications in the coal industry, including monitoring of coal conveyors and viscosity measurement of coal slurry. In each case the technology delivers improved accuracy over alternative techniques, so improves quality, efficiency and cost- effectiveness.

Enabling the measurement of visosity wirelessly, Sensor Technology has developed a wireless technique using its TorqSense rotary torque transducers. The 'technique' does not need a physical connection to the rotating shaft, but instead uses a RF link to both send power to the sensing element on the spindle and to receive torque reading signals back from it.

Rapid loading and unloading are critical to the success of a shipping company because ships make money at sea, not in port. Dockside technology continues to develop to provide ever more speed and efficiency, with wireless, non-contact digital torque monitoring an emerging technology that is increasingly being integrated into unloaders.

A water level transducer suitable for harsh environments, has been introduced by Measurement Specialities. Thebattery-powered TruBlue 255can collect up to half a million time stamped pressure and temperature data points with its standard 8MB of internal memory and3.7m data pointswith its optional 56MB of internal memory.

The TeePlug TH384 series waterproof connectors from Hylec-APL, have been supplied for use on a weir at the head of the Jubilee River. The river, which is man-made, is used to divert water away from the Thames and prevent flooding around Windsor, Eton and Maidenhead. The connectors have been specified to facilitate quick replacement of the transducers which monitor the position of the weir's hydraulic cylinders, ensuring the flood defence's reliab...

Designed for powering audio transducers, the DyadBA3 Bluetooth amplifier module has been announced by Tectonic Elements. Powered by a 3.7V lithium-ion battery (single cell or multiple cells in parallel for higher capacity), the DyadBA3 is claimed to provide class-leading battery life - potentially 400% better than comparable competitors.
