Mini laser sensor
15 April, 2003 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering has introduced the World-Beam QS18LE series laser emitters designed for use as a DC powered 'laser pointer' in an industrial housing as well as the emitter half of an opposed mode sensor pair.
Varnish sensor
20 March, 2003
Despite the use of computer simulation, wind tunnel testing is still required to measure pressure changes and airflow speeds on the surfaces of new aircraft and automobile prototypes. Such testing is now done less with smoke visualisation and threads but more frequently with high-tech sensors which have the least influence on air flows. Film sensors made from piezoelectric materials provide one alternative. However, such films are difficult to apply - especially on rounded surfaces - and they do not adhere well under windy conditions. These disadvantages have been overcome with a varnish developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Plymer Research IAP.
Flexible screens ready to roll
21 January, 2003
In the future, powering up your laptop may require you unroll it first. Engineers at the University of Toronto have constructed flexible technology that could lay the groundwork for future generations of bendable television, computer and mobile phone screens.

Mass flow sensing for high accuracy measurement
05 January, 2003 by Sam Kresch, Product Manager, Fluid Components International
Accurate flow measurement impacts process safety, throughput, recipe, quality and cost, affecting bottom line profit or loss. Obtaining accurate flow measurement begins with selecting the best flowmeter technology for the specific application media
Fluorescent displays
12 November, 2002 | Supplied by: Tenrod Australia Pty Ltd
Noritake has introduced the 7000 series, the low cost feature rich graphic capable character range of VDF modules. This range of VFDs is both character and graphic capable and features the new user definable windowing function that provides the user with independently controlled windows that is capable of displaying text and graphics simultaneously.

Bendable screens
04 November, 2002
It has been reported that DuPont, Sarnoff and Lucent technologies will work together to develop a display technology that could lead to thin, flexible monitors that can be wrapped around curved surfaces or rolled up and put away or carried. The project is to be sponsored by the Advanced Technology Program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
