The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

A European McDonald’s restaurant operator is one of several companies piloting an RFID-based solution designed to provide real-time temperature and location data regarding such items as fresh food, ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

One of the most important measurements we make while tuning an engine is finding out what the actual balance of air and fuel was inside the engine. It doesn’t matter if we have a carburetor, port ...

In the meantime, smart sensors with on-board processing and communication capabilities are now widely used across the internet of things (IoT). Software-based virtual sensors gene ...
