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.

AST Offers Pressure Sensing Products for Integration into HVAC and Refrigeration Equipment

Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-03-23 14:28.
Thermal Flash Protection™ is the technology applied by AST to reduce the effects of thermal flash transients when the media is Ammonia. First, AST utilizes its one-piece stainless steel sensing element with 316L-wetted materials. This element is free of welds, oil-fill and internal O-rings. Next, a special non-clogging port design is used in order to minimize the extreme temperature change.

CardioMEMS, Inc. Announces First Patient Implant of Wireless Pressure Sensor for Hypertension Monitoring

Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2007-03-22 14:28.
The wireless hypertension sensor is a proprietary miniature device developed by CardioMEMS to be positioned just below the surface of the skin above the patient's radial artery using a minimally invasive procedure. The sensor is designed to allow for a precise and accurate measurement of systemic blood pressure using the CardioMEMS proprietary electronics module.

HVAC/R Pressure Sensors Designed for Integration into HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment

Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2007-03-14 20:06.
Unlike freon, ammonia temperatures rapidly change from 100?F to -70?F or below.  Pressure sensors used in freon systems cannot
withstand these temperature extremes.  AST's HVAC/R pressure sensors are built to withstand the extreme temperatures of ammonia cooling systems.
