2) High End Sensors (HSE) 2018 International Conference (10-11 April 2018, Brussels, Belgium)
    http://www.highendsensors.net/home

High End Sensors International 2018 will provide comprehensive and complete coverage of the opportunities for all professionals involved within the high-end sensor market. The conference will explore product development within major high-end sensor categories and ways that researchers and manufacturers are investigating to enhance performance, reduce power consumption, and improve efficiency. Co-located with Compound Semiconductor and Photonic Integrated Circuits International, gain access to three cutting edge complimentary conferences and ONE dedicated exhibition featuring leading players from across the globe.Places are limited so book early.

IFSA is pleased to be speaking at the high-end sensor industry's must attend global event:

"High-End Sensors & Sensor Systems: How to achieve high metrological performances"

by Dr. Sergey Y. Yurish (International Frequency Sensor Association):

The presentation will describe modern developments and trends in the field of high-end sensors and sensor systems design. Its background is based on programmable parameter-to-frequency (time) converters as a digital sensor’s core and structural-algorithmic methods for data extraction in order to move from a traditional analog-to-digital conversion to alternative frequency (period, duty-cycle, time interval)-to-digital conversion. Working in the frequency-time signal domain simplifies design, and obviates some technical and technological problems, due to the properties of frequency as an informative parameter of sensors and transducers. The major benefits offered by such an approach are high reliability, high metrological performance, wide functionality, cost effectiveness and scalability. Different examples of high-end sensors and sensor systems will be given and discussed in details.
