The Cleveland Water Alliance and YSI, a Xylem brand, are proud to offer this five-part educational series on water quality sensors and in situ sensing technologies for all students of water quality, from undergraduates to professionals.
CMOS image sensors are produced in bulk for many low-end applications, e.g., low-end digital still cameras, PDAs, and mobile phones, with a cost of production ranging from $4–$10, depending on the application. 3.How do camera sensors work? The most basic way you can understand how ...
A flow meter works by measuring the amount of a liquid, gas, or steam flowing through or around the flow meter sensors. Flow meter sensors work in different ways, but with the same end goal: Provide the most accurate and repeatable flow measurements for a specific application, whether for ...
By manipulating the junctions, charge flow can be regulated precisely, allowing for complex electronics. Variations on the transistor can be used to make LEDs and very delicate sensors, while most computers have billions of transistors of several different types. Although silicon is the most common ...
How Do IoT Sensors Work? How Do Microcontrollers Perform Signal Processing? How Do IoT Sensors Communicate with Microcontrollers? How Do IoT Sensors and Applications Send and Receive Messages? What Are the Most Common Types of IoT Sensors?
How do smart sensors work? A smart sensor connects a raw base sensor to integrated computing resources that enable the sensor's input to be processed. The base sensor is the component that provides the sensing capability. It might be designed to sense heat, light or pressure. Often, the bas...

How do Heat Flux Sensors Work and What Makes Them So Effective? Heat flux sensors work by utilizing the relationship between heat flow, temperature, and material properties. The sensors consist of a thermistor, which is a type of resistor that changes its resistance with temperature, and a meta...
Water pressure sensors detect the force exerted by water against the walls of pipes or vessels containing it. The detected pressure indicates the energy level of the water and indirectly measures the flow rate. Some common physical effects leveraged in water pressure sensors include: ...
Fans with an airflow direction different from that of the system run at the lowest speed, and fans with the same airflow direction as the system run at full speed. A temperature threshold-crossing alarm is generated on the device. All temperature sensors on a main control board of the ...
