Book Description:
In keeping with its practical theme, this comprehensive resource focuses on sensor types currently in use or having potential to be used in industrial applications. Sensors are one of the key elements in modern systems, as they determine the quality of the information that is acquired from real life and are used for production control and decision making. The global market for sensors is fast growing and the innovation rate is extremely high. A host of sensor devices are covered, including pressure sensors, flow sensors, optical sensors, temperature sensors, solid-state gyroscopes, and magnetic sensors. To make qualified, intelligent decisions, it is vitally important for system developers, system integrators, and decision makers to be familiar with the principles and properties of new sensor types.
Physics, Designs and Applications
3rd Edition
The Handbook's coverage of sensors is extensive, ranging from simple photodiodes to complex devices containing components in combination. It offers hard-to-find reference data on the properties of numerous materials and sensing elements and emphasizes devices that are less well-known, whose technology is still being refined, and whose use permits the measurement of variables that were previously inaccessible....
This product is a concise and useful reference for industrial engineers, scientists, designers, managers, research personnel and students. It covers an extensive range of topics that encompass the subject of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors.The Measurement Instrumentation and Sensors Handbook on CD-ROM provides easy access to the instrumentation and techniques for practical measurements required in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences....
This reference presents a comprehensive account of the recent advances and research in fiber optic sensor technology. It offers a progressive history of each sensor type as well as basic principles and fundamental building blocks for practical applications in the electrical aerospace, defense and manufacturing, smart structure, undersea surveillance, medical, and gas and oil industries.Fiber Optic Sensors highlights the development of fiber optic sensors and classic applications; provides new methods for the construction of high-speed and high-capacity fiber sensor systems; and describes recent developments in fiber optic amplifiers, fiber Bragg grating sensors, optical isolators, optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR), and fiber optic gyroscopes. ...
