‘Ultrasonic 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 CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from
Hamamatsu Photonics : "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Sherborne Sensors
- take a look at Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers
which says: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Flow Line Options, Process technology installed at biodiesel refinery,
as well as SGS offers acoustic emission testing package from SGS SA - Industrial Services,
and Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter from Able Instruments and Controls.
