An ideal linear sensor is one for which input and output values are always proportional. Typical sensors are, in general, highly nonlinear or seldom sufficiently linear enough to be useful over a wide range or span of interest. Due to the requirement of tedious effort in designing sensor circuits with sufficient linearity for some applications, the word nonlinearity has acquired a pejorative co...

BACKGROUND Determining the exact timing of reward delivery is critical in neurophysiological experiments. Despite the importance of this parameter, techniques for precisely measuring the exact delivery time of a liquid reward have been underdeveloped. Although there is always some latency between the computer command and reward delivery, the former has been used routinely to mark reward onset t...

Skin temperature is a fundamental variable in human thermo-physiology, and yet skin temperature measurement remains impractical in most free-living, exercise and clinical settings, using currently available hard-wired methods. The purpose of this study was to compare wireless iButtons and hard-wired thermistors for human skin temperature measurement. In the first of two investigations, iButtons...

The non-uniform surface temperature distribution of a battery cell results from complex reactions inside the cell and makes efficient thermal management a challenging task. This experimental work attempts to determine the evolution of surface temperature distribution of three pouch type commercial cells: Nickel Manganese Cobalt oxide (NMC)-based 20 Ah cell, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) 14 Ah, a...

Abstract Platinum film thermistor is developed by combining platinum with thin technology, which solves the cost and application problems of components. The principle, fabrication process are introduced. A temperature acquisition device designed. It verified that has characteristics fast response high accuracy. data aluminum alloy plate heated at a single point collected using measurement syste...

Several glassy oxide semiconductors exhibit large electron mobilities; however, these oxides may not be considered environmentally friendly because of their toxicity. Herein, we report on the electrical conduction iron oxide-containing bismuth sesquioxide borate glasses that are toxic and show ohmic transport in temperature range 100–400 °C. The dominant carrier is electron, which revealed by s...

This paper presents a real-time microcomputer-based logger for measuring basal body temperature (BBT). BBT is the normal resting body temperature of a healthy person immediately upon waking in the morning. The temperature for women normally rises after ovulation due to hormonal changes. The temperature is logged real-time into the computer over a period and the BBT chart produced is used to pre...
