Sensitive Flow Sensor: Hair Sensor Uncovers Hidden Signals
2013-06-14 08:20:25| rfglobalnet News Articles
An "artificial cricket hair" used as a sensitive flow sensor has difficulty detecting weak, low-frequency signals -- they tend to be drowned out by noise. But now, a bit of clever tinkering with the flexibility of the tiny hair's supports has made it possible to boost the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 25. This in turn means that weak flows can now be measured.

Organic photo sensor dumps silicon, promises to shatter CMOS imaging limits
2013-06-13 14:30:58| Extremetech
While most camera sensor innovations attempt to push the bounds of silicon-based imagers, researchers from Fujifilm and Panasonic have teamed up to create a revolutionary new design using organic compunds, that promises to greatly increase the dynamic range of future cameras.

Capacitive Sensor Ensures Optimum Images for Surgical Microscopes
2013-06-13 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Surgical procedures require a perfect view of the operating area. Surgeons often use surgical microscopes for support. A high-precision capacitive sensor is used to stabilise the microscope's field of view.<br /> <br /> The lenses of a surgical microscope are attached to long tripod arms. These enable the surgeon to accurately position the microscope and provide the surgical team with more space to manouvre. The long arm needs to be continuously adjusted at the pivot joints to keep the field ...This story is related to the following:Test and Measuring InstrumentsMedical Sensors | Current Sensors | Capacitive Probes | Capacitive Switches
