The circuit has been designed to produce a window switch with the use of a thermistor for the main purpose of sensing temperatures. Thermistor – one type of resistor used as temperature-sensing ...

Analogue sensors still have a place. PWM outputs give ground to serial-digital formats. A new bus architecture complements SMBus. Of all the physical measurements that electronic systems make, ...

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

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

Imagine being able to program materials to control heat like you can control a light with a dimmer switch. By simply squeezing or stretching the materials, you can make them hotter or colder.

On what seems like almost a daily basis, a news flash talks about some electronic product overheating, causing potentially catastrophic problems. While an overly hot product can, of course, cause ...

In the fields of intelligent health care and robotic sensing, the development of ultra-thin flexible temperature sensors ...

Environmental temperature fluctuations can cause sensor output variations separate from measured pressure. A sensor’s thermal sensitivity dictates the severity of these output errors, with higher ...
