DS30 distance sensor available from Sick
Submitted by nestorb on Sat, 2007-06-16 12:42.E. Coli, Sensor Developed
Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2007-06-14 13:47. The sensor features a vibrating cantilever, supported at one end and coated with antibodies. The antibodies are specific to the desired target such as E. coli, anthrax or proteins that are biomarkers for diseases such as prostate cancer. When the target is present in a sample flowing past the sensor, it binds to the cantilever and changes the frequency of vibration so it can be read electronically.

New Universal Glow Plug Sensor Simplifies Indicator Measurements
Submitted by nestorb on Tue, 2007-06-12 23:47. This simplification facilitates the preparation of indicator measurements, reduces the need to keep stocks of sensors in various lengths and shortens delivery times.
The use of glow plug adapters permits cylinder pressure measurements to be taken without need for a separate measuring bore. The adapter is screwed into the existing bore of the original glow plug.

Low-cost torque sensor `overcomes drawbacks`
Submitted by nestorb on Mon, 2007-06-11 13:47. Fast`s technique - on which there are 20 patents pending - is to magnetise the shaft and to sense the changes in the magnetic field that occur when torque is applied. These changes are detected by a sensing head typically placed about 1mm from the shaft, and are then converted into an electrical signal by conditioning electronics
Torque flange sensor is two-in-one
Submitted by nestorb on Sun, 2007-06-10 13:34. The TMF transducer, developed jointly by Magtrol (formerly Vibro-meter`s instrumentation division) in Switzerland, and GIF in Germany, uses strain-gauge measurement. The sensor is available in rated torques of 450, 1,100 or 2,800Nm, with the optional second measuring range typically being rated at 1/10 of the nominal torque.
Robust noncontact torque sensor has integrated DSP
Submitted by nestorb on Sat, 2007-06-09 13:34. The Type 4504A torque sensor from Kistler Instruments is suited to applications where space is at a premium and operating conditions are far from ideal
Torque sensor with digital signal processing
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-06-08 23:34. Kistler Instruments has developed a robust, non-contact torque sensor with integrated digital signal processing called the Type 4504A
