                                    ULTRASONIC SENSOR An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures the distance of a target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the sound that humans can hear). Ultrasonic sensors have two main components: the transmitter (which emits the sound using piezoelectric crystals) and the receiver (which encounters the sound after it has travelled to and from the target). In order to calculate the distance between the sensor and the object, the sensor measures the time it takes between the emission of the sound by the transmitter to its contact with the receiver. The formula for this calculation is  D = ½ T x C  (where D is the distance, T is the time, and C is the speed of sound ~ 343 meters/second). Fo...

  Laser Distance Sensor for Indoor and Outdoor Applications If large distances have to be measured, whether indoors or outdoors, optoNCDT ILR2250-100-H laser distance sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. The sensors are available with heating and cooling element and provide precise, stable results in measuring ranges of up to 150 m. When displacement and distance must be determined over long distances with high accuracy, optoNCDT ILR2250 laser distance sensors provide reliable results. The sensors can be mounted both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor measurement tasks, laser distance sensors are available with integrated heating and cooling. This allows the sensors to be operated at temperatures from -40 °C to +65 °C. In addition, the aluminum die-cast housing is very robust. 1st Editonal of International Conference 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/gaym...

Biosensors are devices used to detect the presence or concentration of a biological analyte, such as a biomolecule , a biological structure or a microorganism. Biosensors consist of three parts: a component that recognizes the analyte and produces a signal , a signal transducer, and a reader device. A flexible pressure sensor with highly customizable sensitivity and linearity via positive design of micro hierarchical  structures with a hyperplastic  model: The tactile pressure sensor is of great significance in flexible electronics , but sensitivity customization over the required working range with high linearity still remains a critical challenge. Despite numerous efforts to achieve high sensitivity and a wide working range, most sensitive microstructures tend to be obtained only by inverting naturally existing templates without rational design based on fundamental contact principles or models for piezoresistive pressure sensors . Here, a positive design strategy with a hy...

Why use Force Sensors from Zemic Europe in Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)? Zemic force sensors are used more and more in Smart Warehouse Management Systems. Customers expect faster delivery times and technology is developing at a rapid pace. To keep up more companies make use of Smart Warehouse Management Systems. A Smart Warehouse Management System is an innovative technology for automated , intelligent management of warehouses. These systems combine all critical warehouse data in one platform and aim to optimize the supply chain management. They provide more insight into the flow of goods and stock levels and lead to improved productivity, efficiency , and accuracy. 3PL (third party logistics) started with innovating the business . We see now a spin off to all kind of warehouses to obtain the same benefits. In warehouse applications an important feature is to prevent running out of stock . This is called inventory or storage control. The new WMS are designed in such a way, that e...

  Differences between Wireless Adhoc Network and Wireless Sensor Network 1. Wireless Adhoc Network : A wireles s ad-hoc network is a wireless network deployed without any framework or infrastructure . This incorporates wireless mesh networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and vehicular ad-hoc networks. It’s history could be traced back to the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) and Packet Radio Networks (PRNET) which evolved into the Survival Adaptive Radio Networks (SARNET) program. Wireless ad-hoc networks, in particular  mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) , are growing very fast as they make communication simpler and progressively accessible . In any case, their conventions or protocols will in general be hard to structure due to t opology dependent behavior of wireless communication, and their distributed and adaptive operations to topology dynamism . They are allowed to move self-assertively at any time. So, the network topology of MANET may change randomly ...

Omron launches colour sensor for industrial monitoring The new sensor helps customers to remotely monitor equipment deterioration in real-time, leading to the visualisation of the equipment and the reduction of person-hours required for inspection and maintenance. It offers solutions to the problems faced by the industrial machinery and hydraulic equipment industries through highly efficient and systematic maintenance. At manufacturing sites, oil contamination is frequently a cause of failure of industrial machinery and hydraulic equipment. Maintenance personnel are relied upon to conduct a visual check for such contamination, often by performing periodic inspection and part replacement based on their intuition, tricks, and experience. Often production stoppage losses due to sudden equipment breakdown are incurred by inconsistent judgment from each person in charge. In addition, delays in inspection timing have been a longstanding issue. There is also the increasing need for higher e...

  Advantages of using a smart infrared sensor checking the temperature of the PCB in dispenser machines Dispensing is a process in which glue, oil or other liquids are applied or dripped to a PCB or specific components mounted on a PCB. Materials dispensed can range from very low (water like) to very high (toothpaste like) viscosity and encompass many different functions. These include solder paste to electrically connect components, encapsulants to protect devices from atmospheric conditions and provide moisture-proof insulation , thermal interface materials (TIMs) to help dissipate heat from parts, and adhesives to attach parts to a substrate or assembly. The dispensing process actually is a process to protect the product and improve the product reliability. As an example, dispensing is used to prevent solder joints from loosening , especially in areas of weak structure on the PCB, such as chips. When the product falls and vibrates, the PCB will vibrate back and forth, an...
