A virtual sensor is an algorithm embedded in the control software (e.g, software used to control the engine) that estimates a system parameter based on other measured variables. The algorithm is typically built around a data-based model. Virtual sensors are commonly used to estimate system ...
environmental parameters like quality of air and water, soil conditions, and weather conditions. In an environment monitoring system, some standard sensors used are temperature, humidity, gas, water quality, soil, and weather sensors to monitor pollution, resource management, and protect the ...
LVDT sensors An LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) is a commonly used metrology tool. It is referred to as a sensor or transducer (a device that can transform one form of energy into another). In this case, it transforms linear motion into an electrical signal. Use of an LVDT...
How does sensor fusion improve an alarm system? At Sensors Expo 2019, Tanja Hofner, a Principal Hardware Engineer for RF and Sensors in Infineon’s Power Management and Multimarket segment explains the operation of the company’s Integrated Alarm System demo. The demo uses two Infineon sensors: ...
As an example, real-time multielement analysis, with complex calibration functions, becomes a feasible industrial methodology. The fields of application for infrared analysers can be found in chemical process industries, food industries, energy production, and environmental protection. Portable and ...
RTD sensors are widely used in consumer products to regulate temperature. They can be found in everyday items like coffee makers, cell phones, washing machines, and electric blankets, ensuring consistent and safe temperature management.Chapter Seven: What is the construction of an RTD (Resistance ...
The success in motorsport depends on hundreds of components working together, under the stress and challenge of extreme conditions. Each component needs to be rigorously, and accurately, tested to ensure measurements are within specification. With an array of high-performance pressure calibrators andhand...
(Ta). To determine the plant water status, two reference points are needed—hydric stress condition (UL) and hydric comfort condition (LL)—, which will serve as a comparison term for the Tc-Ta value obtained at the checking moment (M)46. The CWSI, found in works such as46,47, is ...
By providing precise data on aircraft performance, sensors enable optimized flight operations, leading to significant reductions in fuel consumption. For instance, a study by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) found that the use of advanced sensors in modern aircraft has led to a ...
A sensor used to determine the level or amount of fluids, liquids, or other substances flowing in an open or closed system is referred to as a “level sensor” [25,26]. These sensors may be found in a variety of sectors. They are most recognised for gauging fuel levels, but they are...
