They operate on a simple physical property of materials: The measured resistance of a material depends on its length and cross-sectional area. A material under an applied force is said to be under ...

A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

• Thin-film force sensors can be super thin and created in a range of shapes and sizes. • Resistive thin-film sensors can be turned to work over a range of forces depending on the drive levels ...

To implement a motion control system, it is necessary to sense the movement of a device that is rotating or travelling along a straight line. This requirement is common in a growing number of ...

To maintain high resolution and accuracy within a transducer or sensor-based measurement system, the designer must exercise care in selecting the excitation source for the transducer — and the ...

As you accelerate down the road and use your gas pedal to throttle in the appropriate amount of energy, you expect a smooth implementation from your foot to the motor. The electronic throttle control ...
