 Sensor

A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The input can be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure or any number of other environmental phenomena. The output is generally a signal that is converted to a human-readable display at the sensor location or transmitted electronically over a network for reading or further processing.

Sensors play a pivotal role in the internet of things (IoT). They make it possible to create an ecosystem for collecting and processing data about a specific environment so it can be monitored, managed and controlled more easily and efficiently. IoT sensors are used in homes, out in the field, in automobiles, on airplanes, in industrial settings and in other environments. Sensors bridge the gap between the physical world and logical world, acting as the eyes and ears for a computing infrastructure that analyzes and acts upon the data collected from the sensors.

  STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors . For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors , system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue,  STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released  a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores.   1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaynom Member Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaymem Visit:http://sensors-conferences.sciencefather.com/ For Enquiries: sensors@sciencefather.com

Temperature Sensors

  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to ...

  What are Sensors, Detectors, and Transducers? Sensor/Detectors/Transducers are electrical, opto-electrical , or electronic devices composed of specialty electronics or otherwise sensitive materials , for determining if there is a presence of a particular entity or function. Many types of sensors , detectors, and transducers are available including those for detecting a physical presence such as flame , metals , leaks , levels, or gas and chemicals , among others. Some are designed to sense physical properties such as temperature, pressure, or radiation , while others can detect motion or proximity . They operate in a variety of manners depending on the application and may include electromagnetic fields, or optics, among others. Many applications over a wide range of industries use sensors, detectors, and transducers of many kinds to test, measure, and control various processes and machine functions. With the advent of the  Internet of Things (IoT) , the need for sensors...
