ANALYTICA 2004: Infrared Sensor is Kind to Costs and Environment
The IMM Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH has developed an infrared sensor for the quality control of lubricants in machines. With this sensor, oil and its ageing can be monitored directly at the operating machine. Future fields of application are for example real-time monitoring of large motors, particularly in shipping or compressors.... view more... (2004-05-10)
Tyre sensor will increase driver safety / caesar Research Center at the Hanover Fair
You break on black ice or on a wet highway, friction is almost zero and your car goes into a skid: A scenario which will be avoided in future. Scientists at the caesar Research Center in Bonn are developing a new technology for improving vehicle safety still further. At the Hanover Fair caesar will be presenting from April 7 to 12, 2003, on the... view more... (2003-04-02)
Multimode Magnetic Field and Position Sensor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University's Physics Department have developed an extraordinarily versatile proximity sensor for the detection of objects, composed of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, glasses and plastics.

Tiny endoscopes bring medical costs down
Viewing actual images of patients' internal organs is more and more common in medical procedures. However, in many cases the treatment can be painful or uncomfortable, and high sterilisation costs can limit the procedure's use. IVP's prototypes aim to overcome such challenges. view more (2005-04-29)
Breath or Urine Analysis May Detect Cancer, Diabetes
A future sensor may take away a patient's breath while simultaneously determining whether the patient has breast cancer, lung cancer, diabetes or asthma. A University of Missouri researcher is developing a device that will analyze breath or urine samples for volatile markers inside the body that indicate disease. view more (2009-03-11)
Making sense of sensors
A forest ranger helicopter flies over a forest, scattering sensors that can relay temperature data to the ranger station. To ensure minimal environmental impact with maximum robustness, the sensors are very simple: they are basically tiny, sturdy thermometers. view more (2006-12-05)
