Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology has worked for years to develop devices based on the triboelectric effect—the phenomenon behind static electricity. The effect happens when one ...

[Editor’s note: When we last visited with lead installer John and his helper Charlie (The NEWS, March 5, 2007), they had just learned the hard way that there’s a lot more to sealing ducts than just ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

Implementing company-wide static pressure measurements can be tough. Consistency is one of the biggest challenges to overcome. At National Comfort Institute Inc. (NCI), we recommend measuring static ...

Tailored to industrial applications, the Model 219A05 charge-output, quartz force sensor is suitable for obtaining an indirect measurement of injection molding cavity pressure by positioning the ...

Some of the applications mentioned here require a room that maintains a higher or lower pressure compared to the surrounding ambient environment. If the isolated room has greater air pressure, it is ...

Pressure sensors are used to measure the pressure level in patient wound-suction therapy. A key challenge faced by many designers is that wound-therapy devices are used for different critical care ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that could one day be used to measure small pressure changes in the body. "Our new pressure sensor was ...
