Toronto, ON, Canada - SWP, Inc. New model of fast, two-cannel Universal Frequency-to-Digital Converter UFDC-1M-16 is designed for sensors systems applications requiring high speed frequency-to-digital conversion. In comparison with the previously model of UFDC-1 the new converter has increased up to 16 MHz internal reference frequency and decreased in 32 times conversion speed. The IC has wide frequency range from 1 Hz to 7.5 MHz (120 MHz with prescaling), programmable relative error from 1 to 0.001 % at appropriate non-redundant conversion rate from 6.25 ms to 6.25 ms and three popular communication interfaces for sensors applications: I²C, SPI and RS-232 ...

Square Wave Output, Digital Sensor Technology Platform, inGen Linear Direct™ from INPROX Sensors (Boston, Massachusetts), is ready for custom development and license in critical OEM applications for automotive, aerospace, medical device and appliance markets. inGen, is a revolutionary, low cost patented technology suite of continuous output, harsh duty, non contact, precision sensors. These digital sensors run on an innovative, proprietary IC capable of interfacing directly with microprocessors without the need of any signal conditioning; internally or externally. Offering new capabilities in the areas of position, speed, temperature and pressure, inGen sensors utilize a specially tuned oscillator, which in turn produces a ‘frequency of oscillation’; an output in the form of a square wave that is read as a pulse train by digital microprocessors ...

The MBW-303 Wheatstone Bridge Offset Conditioning Network from Microbridge Technologies, Inc. is comprised of four eTC Rejustors (re-adjustable resistors), the world's first fully analog, passive electronic Temperature Compensation (eTC) dividers, configured in a Bridge. Designed for Wheatstone bridge sensors in automotive, healthcare, consumer, and instrumentation markets, this single chip solution compensates for offset errors and offset drift in a Wheatstone bridge, solving the problem at the source. The MBW-303 simplifies the design process allowing sensor offset calibration and temperature compensation after final assembly, which negates all cumulative errors associated with the assembly processes, such as manufacturing tolerance errors, error introduced by stress, etc. ...

Pilot watches made by Swiss De Havilland use VTI Technologies' Pressure Sensors for Precision Barometer and Altimeter Functions. The watches record times of take-offs and landings, flight duration, allowing the user to register both block to block and total flight time. The watches feature unique innovations that enhance flight data accuracy and usability of the watch. The DH-02 model is equipped with VTI's SCP1000 pressure sensor enabling altitude to be estimated to the accuracy of one foot. This entirely new interface, based on a rotating bezel, allows the user to adjust altitude and pressure (as in instrument panels) and to set the time - one of the intelligent features seen for the first time in the watch. Also, a completely new proprietary control system based on the magnetic fields has been introduced to give precise control of the functions of  watches" ...

FUTEK’s popular LCB500  Tension / Compression Load Cell is designed for possible use as a rod end load cell with mounting plates. This load cell is typically used in inline actuators and hydraulic jacks with male/female threads. Although small and compact in size, it is well suited for low and high capacity ranges from 100 – 5k lbs. The flexure is made from Stainless Steel making it highly durable and ideal for endurance testing. Other benefits include welded & sealed covers and easy mounting provisions. The LCB500 can also be provided with a TEDS option ...

The feature packed AS8267 energy metering IC includes a state of the art precision front-end for accurate measurement of all metering parameters. The embedded logic and microcontroller enable easy and versatile customization to the user’s requirements. All anti-tamper measures are integrated in the AS8267 and any attempts of fraud are monitored. Embedded features like LCD drivers, temperature sensor and real-time clock keep the list of external components to the minimum ...

Integrated Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISSYS) has announced that the U.S. Patent Office has granted them a utility patent (US 7,228,735) entitled "Fluid Sensing Device with Integrated Bypass and Process Therefor." A major hurdle in commercializing micro-fluidic devices has been their limiting low flow rates. This patent describes a new method and design which allow micro-fluidic sensors to monitor and test relatively high flow rates of fluids. This invention greatly reduces the complexity of micro-fluidic packaging for high flow applications ...
