What’s new in color sensing?
Advancements in color sensing technology and its increased use in industrial automation are increasing the adoption of color sensing technology across several industries. Color sensing devices are extensively used to detect the color of the surface and to monitor the color consistency in packaging, textile production and automotive applications. For example, in the packaging industry, […]
What’s the outlook for chemical sensors?
The current emphasis on providing products and materials with fewer environmental effects will have a direct impact on the chemical industry and chemical sensors. Obviously, this starts with, but is certainly not restricted to, reduced CO2 emissions. Chemical sensors have a wide range of applications, including healthcare, industrial, biotechnology, and household sensing requirements such as […]
Are you OK?
Think carefully before you answer, especially if the answer is no. This could lead to a variety of medical tests to measure different parameters to determine the nature of your out of sorts health situation. Of course, you could be among the many people who can not only say I’m feeling good or even great, […]
