Life-saving sensor technology to combat COVID-19
Vayyar has announced that its life-saving sensor technology is being used by the Israeli government to fight the spread of COVID-19. Vayyar’s intelligent sensors provide touchless, remote and confidential monitoring to detect and monitor vital signs that can indicate early-stage COVID-19 symptoms.
Inertial measurement unit covers long life cycles
The Bosch BMI090L high-performance longevity inertial measurement unit (IMU) combines a 16-bit triaxial gyroscope and 16-bit triaxial accelerometer in a 3. 0 mm x 4.5 mm x 0.95 mm package.
Self-contained displacement sensor brings high precision
The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products has introduced an off the shelf, self-contained displacement sensor with an analogue output is well suited for high-precision, and high-repeatability applications.
Versatile temperature sensor comes in compact package
Although the WSEN-TIDS versatile temperature sensor from Würth Elektronik measures just 2.0x2.0x0.5mm, its range of application is wide: Its accuracy in the measuring range -40 to +125°C is ±0.5°C, while in the range -10 to +60°C it goes down to ±0.25°C.
LoRa devices integrated into infrared temperature sensor
Polysense has developed a series of smart human body infrared temperature sensor monitoring products based on Semtech’s LoRa devices. Real-time data from the temperature sensors enables healthcare workers to efficiently screen individuals with a high temperature. The solution has recently shipped to Italy to help with its coronavirus (COVID-19) response efforts.
Linear displacement measuring using eddy technology
The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products has announced the availability of its OEM-2306 non-contact linear displacement measuring instrument, using eddy current technology. The OEM-2306 offers the same high-performance machine control as the KD-2306 signal conditioning electronics in a convenient smaller, bare PC board format.
Flow sensors measure up to 700ml/min
Designed to replace mechanical turbine flow sensors, the PLF2000 series of liquid flow sensors from Posifa Technologies deliver increased accuracy and reliability, even in unstable pulsatile flow and low-flow conditions.
Broad adoption of vibration monitoring in Industry 4.0
STMicroelectronics has announced that it is powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a new vibration monitoring sensing solution optimised to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment.
Saliva test to instantly detect coronavirus with lasers
European photonics scientists are developing an ultrasensitive laser sensor that detects coronavirus at the earliest point of infection from a saliva or nasal swab in minutes.
Compact and affordable mass market 3D radar sensor
Cognitive Pilot, an autonomous driving technology joint venture of Russia’s Sberbank and Cognitive Technologies group, has presented its new, compact and affordable Cognitive Mini Radar sensor. The 3D radar sensor is intended for mass use in the autonomous driving industry and already the device is in demand for fighting the coronavirus.
