Sensor The thermal sensor is designed for quick response, long-term stability, and high reliability. The sensor tube in an Aera mass flow product has a very small diameter and mass to ensure the fastest response to any change in gas flow conditions. Bypass Also known as the flow splitter, the bypass maintains a constant ratio of gas flow through the sensor and main flow path, dividing the gas s...

wireless sensor networks are composed of hundreds or thousands of small nodes called sensor that work together and are associated with a specific task or tasks to do. each of these nodes includes sensor, processor, communication components, a small memory and a source of energy. it is expected that wireless sensor networks will be used widely in many applications in near future. scalability and...

A significant challenge in robotics is providing a sense of touch to robots. Even though several types of flexible tactile sensors have been proposed, they still have various technical issues such as a large amount of deformation that fractures the sensing elements, a poor maintainability and a deterioration in the sensitivity caused by the presence of a thick and soft covering. As one solution...

a dissolved methane sensor based on silicone tube was designed, constructed and optimized.the silicone tube diameter, silicone tube length and helium flow rate (as the carrier gas(were considered as process parameters to be optimized.a continuous stream of helium (50 ml/min) was directed through the tubing, sweeping out the dissolved methane which diffused through the walls of the tubing from t...

The ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) that is designed to detect a specific ionic activity is susceptible to interfering ions in mixed-ion environments causing the sensor to produce deceptive signals. The objective of this work is to improve the interpretation of ISFET signals in mixed-ion environments. The focus of the research is relating sensor signal to the targeted ion concentr...

BACKGROUND Recombinant whole-cell sensors have already proven useful in the assessment of the bioavailability of environmental pollutants like heavy metals and organic compounds. In this work 19 recombinant bacterial strains representing various Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens) bacteria were constructed to ...

coverage improvement is one of the main problems in wireless sensor networks. given a finite number of sensors, improvement of the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save cost of sensors for locating in grid points. for achieving good coverage, the sensors should be placed in adequate places. this paper uses the genetic and learning automata as intelligent methods for...

Truly wearable sensing poses challenges in many areas. To be successful, wearable sensors must preserve wearer comfort while providing accurate sensor data. Further, for widespread commercial production they must also be compatible with soft goods manufacturing. Here, we present a method of fabricating stretch sensors using common apparel sewing machinery. The response of sensors made using ind...

A novel potentiometric sensor based on ionophore (Cd(NH2CH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH2NH2)Ag3(CN)5) for the determination of β-N-oxalyl-L-α, β-diaminopropionic acid (ODAP) is developed. The ODAP-selective membrane sensor demonstrates high sensitivity and short response time. The detection limit of the ODAP-selective membrane sensor is about 2 × 10(-6) mol L (-1) and the response time is shorter than 6 s....
