How do sensors make a building more comfortable?

February 18, 2020 By RFrank

Temperature is certainly the most obvious answer but there are other sensors that are increasingly being employed in the smartest homes and buildings. With the right sensor inputs, several actions can be taken by actuators to increase health/safety as well as comfort. In addition to temperature measurements, pressure, humidity and air quality sensing in ducts […]

Looking for an alternative to I2C for sensors?

January 29, 2020 By RFrank

If so, the MIPI Alliance’s recently announced upgrade to its MIPI I3C specification, MIPI I3C v1.1, should be of interest. The interface eliminates the historical pain points of I2C development and provides a scalable, medium-speed, utility and control bus for connecting peripherals. It targets streamlining integration and improving cost efficiencies in the development of smartphones, wearables, high-performance […]

How can sensing protect art and priceless artifacts?

January 22, 2020 By RFrank

Ultraviolet (UV) light, illuminance, temperature and humidity are all very harmful factors in a museum or an archival institution. These factors can all negatively affect the quality and longevity of a piece of art or artifact if the piece is exposed to extremes for too long. Data loggers that measure/monitor critical parameters and communicate with […]

What image sensor kits are available for miniature cameras?

January 21, 2020 By RFrank

If including a miniature vision sensor in an upcoming design is on your New Year’s list, there are two new choices. Based on its NanEyeC miniature image sensor, ams has developed the NanoVision and NanoBerry evaluation kits. Targeting video applications where the camera must be invisible to the end user or mounted in an extremely […]

How are gas sensors impacting the HVAC market?

January 17, 2020 By RFrank

An integral part of smart buildings and even regular homes and commercial buildings, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems strive to reduce air extraction and limit energy consumption. In the process, limiting humidity and CO2 concentration and providing optimum and efficient comfort must also be achieved. To address these issues, the sensors need to […]

What’s Programmable in Reflective Optical Sensors?

December 16, 2019 By RFrank

At Sensors Expo 2019, Sergey Komarov, a field application engineer for Sensors and Specialist Components at TT Electronics discusses the capabilities of his company’s OPB9000, a programmable surface mount device (SMD) reflective optical sensor. The sensor does not require additional peripheral circuitry such as op-amps, data converters or comparators, since all analog signal conditioning is […]
