In addition to cavity pressure, the combined pressure and temperature sensors Types 6189A… and 6190B… can also measure contact temperature. For optical components and class A surfaces, which must be free from any impression of the sensor on the molding, measuring pins (e.g. Type 9247A...), which are mounted behind the wall of the cavity in the mold, measure the compression strain of the steel caused by the cavity pressure ...

YPSILANTI, MI - (Marketwire - August 22, 2007) - 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 ...

Electro Standards Laboratories announces its CellMite ProD High Performance Embedded Data Acquisition and Strain Gage Interface board, Model 4333. The Model 4333 is suitable for embedded applications that require high speed and high accuracy analog and digital data acquisition. The CellMite ProD features dual 24-bit independent strain gage channels with simultaneous sampling at 15K samples/second that can also be configured as quad 24-bit strain gage channels sampled at 5K samples/second. The CellMite ProD features 12 additional 12-bit analog input channels with a throughput of 1M samples/second. Digital data acquisition is also supported with 64-bits of simultaneously sampled digital inputs. The digital inputs can be sampled at 20M samples/second. The CellMite ProD has four 16-bit high performance analog output channels with user-specified scaling and offset with a range of +/-10 V ...
