All Sensors Corp., Morgan Hill, CA, offers a 1/2 in.H2O F.S. millivolt output pressure sensor offered as a PCB-mountable package with 2 pressure ports.More>>

This article describes prototypes of a novel thermoanemometer-type nanoliter-airflow sensor, integrated onchip with analog CMOS signal conditioning circuitry and with analog adjustability that allows accurate sensing of low differential pressures.More>>

Improved noncontact electrodes and noninvasive hybrid biosensors enable fast, reliable readings of hearts and brains, without requiring contact with the skin.More>>

Firefighters and HazMat workers have a very tough job. They're frequently in heavy gear, in unfriendly atmospheres, and working hard. Unfortunately, this combination of equipment, environment, and job stress means that frequently they're operating at the limits of human endurance.More>>

FingerTPS, a line of capacitive tactile pressure sensors mounted on stretchable fabric designed to be worn on a person's fingertips and palm, can measure the pressures exerted while the person uses a tool or performs some other action.More>>

Determining the extent of a burn injury is difficult from visual inspection. At stake is a surgical procedure should the underlying blood vessels not be receiving the amount of oxygen needed for the surrounding tissue to regenerate.More>>

University of Missouri-Columbia researchers have found a way to detect the spread of melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer, by listening to the sound melanin makes in the blood cells. With as few as 10 cells/sample, oncologists could spot early signs of metastasis before the...More>>

Dawn Helton was the fifth patient in the world to try the new Geodesic Sensor Net (GSN), a high-tech cap made of electrodes, reports News 14 Carolina.More>>

Having a bad back is no fun, and the corrective measures can be just as unpleasant. So Disc Dynamics, Devicix, and MTS Sensors Div. got together to devise a minimally invasive way to treat degenerative disc disease. The result is the Dascor Disc Arthroplasty System, in which the nucleus of a spinal...More>>

Ozan Akkus, a biomedical engineer at Purdue, has built a wearable device that detects seismic activity capable of detecting stress fractures in bones. Athletes, dancers, runners, and racehorses could benefit from these early warning signs of an impending major fracture.More>>
