Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...
DANBURY — New sensors, designed to gauge how hot the city feels for the people who live in it, have been installed near public housing complexes in Danbury. The heat sensors are part of a research ...
Why heat flux (flow) is an important thermal parameter. How researchers have developed an innovative heat-flux sensor. Details on the performance of this sensor in flat and curved situations. We know ...
Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...
As recent fervor for storm chasing and the national pastime of doubting meteorological predictions demonstrates, weather can be a tricky beast to pin down. To truly wrangle it and capture its data, ...
The graph at top shows TFX heat flux sensor data used to monitor resin flow and cure during an INNOTOOL 4.0 project trial employing the mold in Fig. 3 (RTM6 resin, 3.2-mm thickness). The project’s ...
Sensors are all around. They are in automatic doors, at cash registers, in doctors’ offices and hospitals. They are used inside the body and outside. Sensors detect aspects of the physical world – ...
Nicole McFarlane has received funding from NSF, DOE, and N5 Sensors/ARPA-E. She is a member ASEE and a senior member of IEEE. Sensors are all around. They are in automatic doors, at cash registers, in ...
