Ethernet powers our home and office networks and it is increasingly being used to automate control processes on the plant floor. Here's why.

Continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy uses the behavior of laser light passed through a gas sample to provide fast and accurate measurements of contaminants down to parts per trillion (ppt) levels.

The proportion of industry sales varies widely among sensing technologies, with proximity sensors taking the largest market share. While the smallest share belongs to linear displacement devices, this category is forecast to experience the highest growth.

When you're adding temperature sensors to a PCB, correct placement can make all the difference. Here are some tips and tricks to place your sensors effectively.

The automotive and consumer electronics industries are increasingly adopting MEMS-based sensors. Here's a brief analysis of where and how these sensors are used and how we predict the market will behave over the next five years.

Embedding networking into low-cost sensors presents particular cost and complexity challenges. Pyxos is an embedded control networking platform with tiny ICs that is designed to be built into low-cost sensors and actuators.

Clever sensors, beefed-up wireless sensor networks, and smart armor: just a few of the winners of the 2007 Best of Sensors Expo Awards.

A new architecture is blurring the distinction between successive approximation register (SAR) and ΔΣ ADCs, creating devices that couple high resolution with high throughput, achieving exceptional measurement accuracy and ease of integration.

In the interest of improved safety (and better gas mileage), tire pressure monitoring systems will soon be mandatory on cars. The challenge is how to power them.
