‘Pressure Sensors’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Stratophase - take a look at Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process which says: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".

Take a look also at the news release from ITT Interconnect Solutions, ITT introduces packer feedthrough system, as well as CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from Hamamatsu Photonics , and Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors.
