Making sense of the environment
Anthony P.F. TurnerSensors, and in particular biosensors, appear ideally suited to environmental monitoring, but commercial success to date has been limited. Momentum is gathering, however, and new…
Combating humidity ‐ the hidden enemy in manufacturing
Ernest BrackenExplains the problems, often unrecognized by engineers, which can be caused by excessive humidity in manufacturing, and identifies the confusion surrounding the measurement of…
Three‐dimensional vision technology offers real‐time inspection capability
Wendy Wolfson, Steven J. GordonDescribes a three‐dimensional machine vision technology for inspecting and measuring on‐line production. States that the 4DI three‐dimensional imager, a new machine vision…
CARBOCAP® ‐ new carbon dioxide sensor ‐ electrically tuneable interferometer for infrared gas analysis
Helen CarsonReports on CARBOCAP®, a new type of optical carbon dioxide sensor, which guarantees high accuracy. States that CARBOCAP® uses a micromachine electrically tuneable Fabry‐Perot…
Light sensors help keep the environment safe
Brian W. RooksHighlights the use of infrared and ultraviolet for flame detection, emission monitoring and thermal imaging. Describes the application of an infrared fire detection system at…
Advanced sensors for environmental monitoring in fossil‐fired power plant
