Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

What is modal analysis? Evaluating vibration sensor enclosures and their natural frequencies. Determining the most important modes and frequencies with the mode participation factor. A close look at ...

Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

Optek Technology has developed an automatic calibration design kit to provide design engineers with a simplified means of compensating for device-to-device variation in optoelectronic sensors. The ...

The first step can often be the most important in any design activity. It certainly is true when engineers work to integrate sensors into their product development process. Here, the first step is the ...

Commoditization has led to a complete ecosystem for MEMs, lowering the barrier for entry and opening up new manufacturing and integration options. I recently gave an invited talk at the IEEE Inertial ...

Pawel Malinowski, program manager at imec, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss what’s changing in sensor technology and why. What follows are excerpts of that discussion. SE: What’s ...

A failed or damaged pressure sensor can lead to unexpected downtime and costs. To reduce these risks, engineers must consider how the various challenges of an application will affect sensors.

Performing modal simulation using a FEM mesh. The design and analysis of an IP67-rated rectangular enclosure. Adding epoxy resin to a vibration sensor enclosure. Mounting techniques for a vibration ...
