Michel Ghilardi and Stéphane Rollier of LEM explore Class R Transducer for Trains
Transducers that are capable of measuring thousands of Amps with Class accuracy R help keep the trains running across country borders. By Michel Ghilardi, R&D Project Manager for LEM, and Stéphane Rollier, Product & MarCom manager at LEM.
Control and connectivity considerations in the design of smart meters by Jonathan Page, MSC Gleichmann - Part 2
As we saw in the first part of this series of articles, the replacement of traditional electricity, gas, water and other meters with smart meters is being driven by utility companies and governments for a variety of reasons. Lying behind this is the ‘ideal’ of conserving our use of natural resources through the intelligence that comes from having more immediate access to data along with the means to apply appropriate controls.
Micronas Presents High-Sensitivity Current Transducer For Use In Automotive and Industrial Applications
Micronas presents its CUR 3115, the most recent member of the CUR 31xy current transducer family basing its measuring principle on the Hall effect.
Rapid signals new offering of ultrasonic transducers and transceivers
Rapid has recently introduced a new range of ProWave open and enclosed ultrasonic transducers and transceivers, all available in stock for both niche and high volume requirements. These high quality components are suitable for use in a wide range of applications and environments, including externally, underwater and in dusty, contaminated conditions.
Penny + Giles Transducers Bridge The Gap At Brush Traction
Brush Traction, part of the Wabtec Rail Group, offers a complete design and installation service for repowering packages that help improve the efficiency of older diesel-electric locomotives and the environmental credentials of train operators and the rail network. Key to both improvements are extremely reliable converted engine governors for the repower packages, which use Penny + Giles LVDT technology to bridge a gap between the old and the new...
Kannan Sadasivam and Sachin Gupta Weigh In on Weigh Scales
As one of the most precise analogue instruments in everyday circulation, digital weigh-scales are used in many different ways. However the complexities that arise when measuring weight can cause a number of problems when designing such a sensitive piece of equipment. By Kannan Sadasivam, Staff Applications Engineer with Cypress, and Sachin Gupta, Senior Applications Engineer at Cypress.
Yole Développement says “Energy harvesters challenge batteries into wireless sensors”
Yole Développement announces its new analysis “Emerging Energy Harvesting Devices”. In this report, Yole Développement analysts describe why and how emerging energy harvesting devices will be increasingly used in the dynamic wireless sensor business.
The Importance of Interfacing By Thomas Froehlich, Principal Design Engineer with ams.
Creating a better signal path is the secret to getting the most of your MEMS sensors. The performance of a MEMS sensor is largely determined by the quality of the MEMS device itself. It seems obvious, does it not? And yet, it’s not true – or rather, it’s not wholly true. In fact, the specifications of the interface to the MEMS device have a large impact on the quality and strength of signal from the MEMS device.
Vanessa Knivett investigates smart tools for smart systems
The term ‘smart system’ is well used, but what exactly does it mean? There are many definitions but the one that fits best for the purposes of this discussion is that provided by the European Commission’s CORDIS programme: “Smart systems typically are sensors and/or actuators with an ability to process data, diagnose complex situations, communicate with each other and be autonomous in energy use.”
Microsemi announce ZL70250 ULP RF Reciever for Wireless Sensor Applications
Microsemi has announced the availability of a new ULP RF transceiver for short-range wireless applications where power consumption is of utmost importance. The ZL70250 sets the bar in terms of low power consumption with only 2 mA of current required to transmit and receive data, enabling extremely long battery life and miniaturization.
