The Sensor Show: your 2020 vision
As the IoT spreads - it is connecting devices, spaces, buildings, communities, cities, and national networks as well as revolutionising manufacturing through smart factories, digital twins and production automation. Sensors are helping to transform our world, gathering data about the environment and how goods or services are actually being produced and used. With this data, better, safer, more efficient and sustainable services and products can b...
Humidity and temperature module targets OEMs
A humidity and temperature module for climate and environmental chamber customers is being featured by Vaisala at Sensor + Test in Nuremberg (June 25-27). The HMM170 is optimised specifically for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to bring reliable humidity measurement in very demanding environments with easy integration and compact size.
Sensor power unified at Sensor+Test 2019
TDK Corporation has announced that it will present its complete sensor product range from a single booth at Sensor+Test 2019. The product range includes magnetic sensors, motion and sound sensor solutions, temperature and pressure sensors and covers automotive, industrial, aeronautics, security, and medical markets.
Dual-channel SMD pyroelectric sensor debuts in Nuremberg
A dual-channel SMD (surface mount) pyroelectric sensor – ezPyro SMD Dual has been released by Pyreos and prototypes will be displayed at the Sensor + Test 2019 exhibition and conference in Nuremberg (June 25-27).
Fingerprint ID for newborn children in developing countries
NEC Corporation has announced the successful conclusion of fingerprint identification technology trials with newborn children from as young as two to 24 hours old in the Republic of Kenya. This trial is expected to help establish a reliable foundation for biometric authentication of newborn children in emerging countries.
Image sensor family ultra-low light technologies
OmniVision Technologies has announced the OS04A10, a 2.9 micron pixel image sensor with four megapixel resolution, the latest addition to its growing family of Nyxel near-infrared (NIR) and ultra-low light (ULL) sensors. The OS04A10 provides security cameras with greater zoom range and AI-enabled surveillance systems with better object identification and facial authentication accuracy.
Infrared sensors feature enhanced Signal Noise Ratio
Samples of the latest variant of its pyroelectric product ranges are available from Pyreos. The methane (CH4) product range has extremely high sensitivity to methane and related hydrocarbons and offers a fast, stable response over a wide operating frequency range.
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.
