Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Scientists have developed a sensor for measuring the strength of electric fields, which is much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices. TU Wien has developed a sensor ...

Inductive position-measuring systems (IPMSs) operate on the same principle as an inductive proximity sensor. But instead of a single sensing coil, position measuring uses a multiple-coil system ...

A new range of automotive-qualified current sensors is addressing the growing need for accurate, isolated current measurement ...

When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...

Temperature measurement has long been vital to most industrial and manufacturing operations. It has taken on new importance in the era of smart buildings and homes, where automation of such functions ...

In winter, it’s important to ventilate living and working spaces regularly. Here’s how to make a homemade measuring station ...

Researchers have developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that could one day be used to measure small pressure changes in the body. Researchers have developed an extremely ...

When testing cells, temperature can influence many of the cell properties. Therefore, when connecting a cell to a piece of cell test equipment, along with connecting voltage sense leads and ...
