Bullet Smart Sensor Systems (SSS' 2005) 

 

General Information About the Course

4-days EuroTraining Quality Labelled (QL) approved engineering course, 25- 28 April, 2005 Delft, The Netherlands. Lectures are given by top experts from universities and industries. The prerequisite for the course is a basic knowledge of electrical circuits and systems. Course will be taught in English. Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance at the course.

 

Short Description

Recent developments in the field of smart sensor systems are reviewed. After a general overview system details are discussed, concerning: sensor principles, tandem transducers, smart analog interfaces, modifiers, A/D conversion, busses and digital interfaces, DSPs and microcontrollers. A systematic approach towards the design of smart sensor systems is presented. The lectures include case studies and hands-on demonstrations.

 

Location

The course will be held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mekelweg 4, Jan Anthony Snijderszaal, room LB1.010 of Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands.

Bullet Monthly Web Spots

 

This new column is about different useful and interesting web sites, finding at the Internet surfing. Each of you have some of them in your browser bookmark. Hope, you will enjoy it. The first monthly web spot is the English version of Russian Society of Scanning Probe Microscopy and Nanotechnology web site. The society is founded in 1998 for active information interchange, development of researches and practical applications in the area of scanning probe microscopy and nanotechnology. Do you know who is the father of scanning probe microscopy ? Did you seen the first Scanning Probe Microscope ? All these are in the online Museum of Scanning Probe Microscopy and Nanotechnology. Be sure to check out also the Week Scans section with magnificent picture from the nanoworld.

 

The second web spot is from Free Information Society (FIS) web site. There is very useful section about Sensor-Based Electronic Circuit Schematics. There are one and half hundred free circuit diagrams for different sensor-based devices, for example, ABS controller, ultrasonic motion detector, Geiger counter, oxygen sensor simulator, temperature sensor, toxic gas detector and much more. This worth attention to check it.
