While sensors and low power actuators occupy the lowliest level of an automation system, they often require a disproportionate amount of time and attention. Historically, each sensor added entailed ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

This image shows the difference between standard industrial Etherent cabling (top) with 4 twisted wire pairs and SPE cabling (bottom) with one pair of twisted wires. SPE delivers standard Ethernet ...

Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability ...
