Hackers often find uses for pressure sensitive materials, detecting footfalls during walking or keypresses in a synthesizer being two examples. [Marco Reps] decided he’d make a hi-res, body-sized ...

Testing sterilizing grade filters using integrity testers has become a standard method in biopharmaceutical production and quality assurance. In accordance with international regulations and ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

Many pressure sensors operate only in specific environments, so if you mix sensors and environments without forethought, you may end up with a ruined sensor, an application gone wrong, or both. The ...

Whenever a heart beats, it pumps blood into arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of those arteries. Blood pressure is a central vital sign in a range of critical ...

Using dry nitrogen to pressure test a system is a very effective method of verifying a system is leak-free. In fact, I believe it is more reliable than using a standing vacuum test typically performed ...

An HVAC pressure sensor is particularly important in the cooling cycle—which includes compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation—where it helps regulate refrigerant flow. Proper airflow ...

Researchers have developed an ultrathin pressure sensor that can be attached directly to the skin. It can measure how fingers interact with objects to produce useful data for medical and technological ...
