Sensors automate most of the processes in industry. Most of these sensors, such as those for ammonia gas, temperature, and the like, are resistive devices in which electrical resistance changes—mostly ...

[Stynus] has finished a unique decade resistance box which doesn’t use conventional rotary switches to select the appropriate resistors. These switches are old fashioned and expensive, so [Stynus] ...

Provided with encryption function and high degree of tamper resistance, enabling implementation of highly secure management Tokyo, June 21, 2005 −− Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the ...

Typically, air flow is measured with a hot-wire anemometer. Here's an alternative version of that concept using two thin-film platinum resistance temperature detectors. A high-performance mixed-signal ...

In Part 1, we covered the basics ofsensors and the characteristics youmust keep in mind when using them in designs. However, there isan enormous range of specialist sensors developed for ...

The circuit in Figure 1 offers an inexpensive alternative to commercial digital voltmeters. Although it has only two digits, it provides considerable flexibility and thus lends itself to customization ...

Digital potentiometer ICs such as the MAX5160 and MAX5161 are good replacements for mechanical types. But these ICs are designed to work with microcontrollers. In ...
