Viaspace Delivers Hydrogen Fuel Cell Humidity Sensor

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 05:59:10 +0200

The VIASENSOR HS-1000 provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapor in these gas streams. It is the only humidity sensor that provides in-situ, continuous and fast-responding dew point measurement. With its laser-based design, the VIASENSOR HS-1000 takes data measurements every five seconds, does not require specialized installation and is of no danger or harm to the fuel cell...

Fujikura Expands Test And Measurement Offering

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 03:40:00 +0200

The FLS-20T, a hand-held, battery-operated, dual laser light source with protective rubber boot, is designed to be used in conjunction with an optical power meter to measure optical power loss over a fibre network. The device can operate at two wavelengths, 1310µm and 1550µm, and can incorporate selectable modes of signal from continuous wave light and modulated tones of 270Hz, 1KHz and 2KHz.

FARO Presents New Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 03:40:00 +0200

The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a portable, computerized measurement device that scans, digitally recreates and records all of an object or area’s dimensions, creating what looks like a “photograph” on the computer screen – but in 3-D. The captured data can be used to create a digital model for inspection, reverse-engineering,
