Pondering Parking
One of the promises of wireless sensor networking is its ability to add a level of sensing and control where it didn't previously exist. That's why it's so popular in building automation as well as in industrial and process monitoring, but a couple of different projects are applying it to the thorny problem of parking: both letting drivers know where parking exists and implementing pricing systems for revenue generation and urban planning. More>>

The Effective Use of High-Speed Isolated DA Systems for Rapid Transient Electrical Measurements

The Effective Use of High-Speed Isolated DA Systems for Rapid Transient Electrical Measurements
By: Mike Hoyer, HBM Inc., Molly Bakewell Chamberlin, Embassy Global LLC
Lightning strikes, electrical arcs, and power-transmission switchgear testing for power transmission all involve fast, short-duration, high-voltage electrical transients that can wreak havoc on systems; acquiring data on these transients requires specialized hardware and know-how. More>>

Highly Accurate Motion Sensing and Control for Industrial Applications
By: Bob Porooshani, Epson Electronics America Inc.
Until recently, inertial measurement units (IMUs) traditionally have been associated with military uses (for high-end IMUs) or consumer products (for low-end IMUs) but the marketplace has lacked an IMU that balances high performance and cost sensitivity for industrial applications. The S4E5A0A0 represents a new category of IMU, offering a combination of high accuracy, small size, and low power consumption. More>>
