What use is a sensor that's wrong?

From thermocouples and thermistors to resistance-temperature-detectors (RTDs), temperature sensors are varied and ubiquitous, but it would be wise not to take them for granted. Each type comes with ...

Thermopile sensors offer a reliable way to measure temperature without physical contact, making them ideal for real-world applications where speed, safety, and precision matter. Whether you are ...

They're not all built alike.

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

The hockey puck-style SB-PT100 resistance temperature detector (RTD) transmitter extends the company’s Generation II family of wireless sensors based on low-power mesh networking sensor technology.

Probably the most electronically sensed analog quantity is temperature. An essential factor in most environments and critical in many, temperature is widely sensed in industrial, automotive, building ...

With these 6 smartphones with temperature sensors, you will be able to know the exact temperature in every moment. Just reach into your pocket and there you have it. First of all, we have to ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

[Miroslav Hancar] wasn’t satisfied with abusing just a single component for our Component Abuse Challenge. He decided to abuse a whole assembly, in particular, some LED candles. In this project, LEDs ...
