Rugged open source inertial measurement unit sensor launched
ACEINNA has announced its new OpenIMU300RI. A rugged, sealed-package, open-source, nine-Degree-of-Freedom (9-DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for autonomous off road, construction, agricultural and automotive vehicle applications. This new open-source IMU, allows engineers to easily optimise an attitude, navigation or other algorithm for their vehicle/application and run it in on the IMU.
High-performance MEMS inertial module targets demanding applications
Designed and manufactured to satisfy performance-focused next-generation gaming, industrial, and sports applications, the STMicroelectronics LSM6DSR inertial module combines high stability with advanced digital features, low power consumption, and small size for head-mounted displays, wearable trackers, smartphones, robotics, and drones.
Photoacoustic spectroscopy miniaturises CO2 sensor
City dwellers often spend a large amount of their time indoors, either in an office, at school, or simply at home. Urbanised spaces, however, tend to trap and develop bad air quality as they get more insulated for energy efficiency purposes. The concentration of CO2 is an indicator for bad air quality.
Pyroelectric sensor debuts at Sensor + Test 2019
Product announcements and recent advancements in its technology will be showcased by Pyreos at Sensor + Test 2019 in Nuremberg (June 25-27). Visitors to the Pyreos stand in Hall 5 stand 24 will be able to see three new product introductions.
Smart IMU focused on wearables applications
Now in stock at Mouser Electronics is the BMI270 smart inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Bosch. The ultra-low-power IMU offers improved accelerometer offset and sensitivity performance based on Bosch’s MEMS process technology.
Radar sensor to make autonomous cars safer
Even as people hear about exciting developments regarding autonomous cars, many have lingering doubts about their safety. Videos of these vehicles show them manoeuvring around obstacles and dealing with other traffic without incidents, though. By Kayla Matthews
Accurate high resolution digital low pressure sensor
All Sensors Corporation of Morgan Hill, California, has announced a brand new, low pressure sensor, the DLLR Series. This new device series offers design engineers exceptional performance for pressure ranges of twn and 30 inH2O. The DLLR Series features Total Error Band and accuracy.
New mobile deployment kit on display at IFSEC 2019
HGH are showcasing its new 'Mobile Deployment Kit' for SPYNEL-M at IFSEC 2019 this week. The international company is well known for their 360° SPYNEL thermal sensors, used for security and defence applications. The SPYNEL-M sensor is the most compact and lightweight of the HGH SPYNEL range. The thermal camera is used for temporary protection of a perimeter during a mission (Police units, Special Forces), to secure the visit of a VI...
Digital board level pressure sensor series expanded
Due to the increasing demand for precise pressure sensors suitable for manifold assembly Analog Microelectronics has expanded its digital I2C pressure sensor series AMS 5915 by corresponding variants. These PCB-mountable pressure sensors come in a robust ceramic DIP-08 package with a very low assembly height of approximately four millimetres and are designed for manifold assembly on flanges with o-ring seals.
Laser-powered sensor to open up ‘anonymised’ security era
A sensor that uses an array of lasers to detect objects, people and vehicles could herald an era of anonymised surveillance that isolates threats from uninvolved people or objects. Cepton Technologies 3D Lidar detection system, the Vista-Edge Perception Evaluation Kit (PEK), combines the unerring accuracy of lasers to scan the environment in much the same way a radar does, but at a much higher resolution, building an image of the w...
