‘Measurement Sensor’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from
Stratophase: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Hamamatsu Photonics
- take a look at CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing
which says: "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Sherborne Sensors, Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers,
as well as Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from Laser Design,
and SGS offers acoustic emission testing package from SGS SA - Industrial Services.
