The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

CHICAGO - Test instruments, meters, sensors, and monitors continue to gain sophistication. It’s the way diagnostic tools are headed, based upon what manufacturers brought and introduced at the 2009 ...

A European McDonald’s restaurant operator is one of several companies piloting an RFID-based solution designed to provide real-time temperature and location data regarding such items as fresh food, ...

We tested popular wideband O₂ controllers against lab-grade equipment to see how accurate their lambda readings really are under real engine conditions.

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...
