AUSTIN, Texas – A sensing device tailored for mass production of highly sensitive and stable nerve-gas detectors has been developed by a research group led by a mechanical engineer at The University ...

(Nanowerk News) Among the various types of hydrogen gas sensors, palladium-based resistor-type hydrogen sensors have been widely studied because of their simplicity, low cost, and adequate sensitivity ...

Current sense amplifiers (CSAs) are specialized amplifiers that monitor current flow by measuring a voltage drop across a sensor element. You will find CSAs across multiple applications, such as ...

Renesas Electronics Corp. has introduced a new family of magnet-free inductive position sensor (IPS) ICs that can be fully customized for various coil designs compatible with a wide range of ...

Precise position sensing is an essential form of feedback to ensure consistent and reliable robotic motion control. Moving elements in robotic arm and autonomous mobile robot applications may ...

The 98E series sensor elements are reported to be durable, low-cost alternatives to packaged potentiometers in applications where size, efficiency and cost are critical considerations. The sensor ...

The basic function of a pressure sensor is straightforward. It gauges the force applied by a substance across each square inch of surface area and translates this physical measurement into an ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...
