Pondering the Smart Grid
There's been quite a bit of activity on this front recently: Microsoft has introduced its Hohm energy monitoring system, Google is planning to trot out an energy management dashboard, and IBM, Cisco, and AT&T all see dollar signs when they see the words "Smart Grid" if recent press announcements are anything to go by. Perhaps most importantly (to my mind, anyway), NIST has published the interim report, compiled by EPRI at NIST's request, to describe a framework for interoperability standards.

 Sonic Nirvana: MEMS Accelerometers as Acoustic Pickups in Musical Instruments
By: Rob O'Reilly, Alex Khenkin, Kieran Harney, Analog Devices
MEMS sensors are in our cars, phones, PCs, cameras, and a variety of other applications but until now, they've never been attached to a guitar. The authors seek to answer the question: Can you use a MEMS accelerometer as an acoustic transducer?  Capacitive Sensor Operation Part II: System Optimization
By: Mark Kretschmar, Lion Precision
Part 2 of this two-part article focuses on how to optimize the performance of your capacitive sensor, and to understand how target material, shape, and size will affect the sensor's response. A Microflow-Based Differential Pressure Sensor
By: Oleg Grudin, Les Landsberger, and Gennadiy Frolov, Microbridge Technologies Canada
This article describes prototypes of a novel thermoanemometer-type nano-airflow sensor, integrated onchip with analog CMOS signal conditioning circuitry and with analog adjustability that allows accurate sensing of low differential pressures. AppSnaps
