| A New Breed of Tilt Sensors
| | | High accuracy at a low cost over a wide temperature range makes thermal MEMS accelerometers the hot choice in tilt sensing. Find out whether they're right for your application. |
| | Designing Intelligent 4–20 mA Transducers
| | | Modern industrial automation applications—such as PLCs, factory process control, and intelligent transmitters—all demand high-performance, low-power components. Current-mode data transmission is no exception. Intelligent 4–20 mA current-mode data transmission is the preferred technique in many industrial automation applications and is a well-established standard for communications between the host computer and smart/intelligent transmitters in harsh factory environments. This article describes intelligent transmitters and explains their need for high-resolution, low-power ADCs, DACs, and isolation devices. |
| | The Next Generation of Color Sensors
| | | You can change manufacturing setups without reprogramming the sensor, which is essential for highmix, low-volume manufacturing with frequent color changes. |

| | Is Your Engine Weary?
| | | Scientists at the University of Manchester, U.K., are developing a
new type of wireless sensor to remotely monitor mechanical parts
and systems and allow predictions of breakdowns in advance of
failure. |
