One-piece pressure sensor stands the heat
Sequoia is to offer a new generation of compact, high level output, 0-5V DC pressure transducers, with built-in electronics and an operating temperature up to 120C.
Direct measurement keeps heat loss under control
New heat control monitors that measure the rate of heating or cooling in buildings directly can save significantly on energy costs as well as providing improved control.
Sequoia's addition of Crossbow products is its first move into the area of smart sensor networks and uses the vast knowledge accumulated across Sequoia's Sensor and Wireless divisions.
Smart networks employ smaller, smarter, wireless sensing devices and mesh networking platforms for medical, environmental, industrial monitoring and control, building automation, security and asset tracking applications.
Crossbow's open architecture, TinyOS-based platform enables highly intelligent multi-sensing devices to dynamically and reliably self-organise to efficiently capture and send detailed physical data anywhere, anytime.
This transformation has profoundly affected how sensors are used and the types of data that are possible to gather.
Sequoia is offering smart wireless sensor development kits designed to provide customers with all of the basic tools needed to develop and prototype a wireless network running on TinyOS.
The basic kit includes three mote processor boards, a base station and two sensor boards.
Details of this and other development kits are available on Sequoia's website.
"We're delighted to have Sequoia Technology join us as a distributor in the UK", said Mike Horton, President and CEO of Crossbow.
"The company's depth of knowledge in sensor and wireless networks will be extremely beneficial to our customers".
