Here is a design concept for a cheap single point optical liquid sensor that can detect the presence or absence of certain colored liquids inside a transparent tube. It can be tailored to output a ...

Air bubble sensors are used to detect air or gas bubbles in flexible clear plastic tubes. They are intended to prevent air infusions. The air bubble sensor has no contact with the liquid and is ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

The LiQuilaz ® II optical liquid particle counter from Particle Measuring Systems is a volumetric monitor that has been specifically developed with a range of sizing sensitivities as low as 0.2 µm. It ...

In the pursuit of clean and renewable energy, hydrogen plays an important role. But a major challenge facing this transition is that the gas is explosive when mixed with air. For this reason, it is ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...
