• Torque Sensors: An Overview of their Design and Application (.pdf)
  sensors have the following. wiring code: Axis Definition. All PCB Load & Torque, Inc. torque sensors comply with the Axis and Sense Definitions of NAS-. 938 (National Aerospace Standard-Machine Axis and Motion) nomenclature and. recommendations of the Western Regional Strain Gage committee. The axes...
• How to Choose the Right Sensor for Your Measurement System
  /Magnetic. High. Tough. Medium. Better. • Resistant to moisture. • Not good in highly magnetic environment. Table 3. Comparison of Common Sound Sensors. Microphones are used to measure sound, but you have many different types of microphones to consider when choosing a sensor for an application...
• Tiny sensors keep big aircraft healthy
  . A team at Sandia National Laboratories is evaluating some of the first such sensors for aircraft. Widespread adoption of SHM could significantly cut maintenance and repai r expenses for commercial aircraft, now estimated at about a quarter of fleet operating costs. And the costs are rising...
• Mobile monitor rides the rails to track defects
  encoder in one of the surf bars records signals from a magnetic wheel that serves as a distance sensor while the device moves down a track. The RailSurf processor uses five sensors to monitor and record variations in track surface, track height, gauge, and pitch. The resulting information can go onto...
• Sensing without wires
  monitor has turned into a fullfeatured wireless company network. Many different technologies are involved in wireless sensing. Each sensor is a self-contained radio transmitter and receiver, or transceiver. Thus the operation of these devices falls under national regulations and international...
• That's a Wrap
  the National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) goes live in 2009. The NCSX produces hot-ionized gases or plasmas confined by a magnetic field. The field is generated by 18 coils made by winding copper cables onto a stainless-steel form. When the gases reach the right temperature and density, two nuclei...
• Flow Transfer Standards: Versatile, Cost-Effective Solutions for In-House Flowmeter Calibrations (.pdf)
  Look around any chemical plant or refinery, and chances are you'll find a large number of flow measurement instruments, such as magnetic, coriolis, positive displacement and turbine meters, requiring periodic calibration in order to maintain their accuracy and traceability to recognized industry...
• Medical Device Link .
  Chip-Scale Magnetic Sensor Offers Cardio Possibilities National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST; Gaithersburg, MD) have produced a low-power magnetic sensor designed to detect field changes as small as 50 pT. The sensor may ultimately be used in cardiovascular instruments for measuring...
