A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

Based on a silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) variable-capacitance sensing element, the Type 8315A high-sensitivity, low-noise, single-axis accelerometers from Kistler North America ...

Smart sensor nodes are the “canaries in a coal mine” for the industrial IoT, sensitively monitoring industrial equipment for vibrations, electrical current and voltage changes, temperature, sound, and ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

The challenges of devising highly sensitive sensors despite ambient noise. How the spiderweb was used as inspiration for a vibration sensor. Why and how machine learning was used to optimize the ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

Physitemp’s Vibratron II Vibration Sensitivity Tester provides a non-invasive way to measure the vibration sensitivity of a patient’s hands and feet. This test takes only minutes to achieve reliable ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One of the cool things about modern technological development is that new devices give us greater control and connectivity than we previously ...

There’s only so much practical real estate on the human body for wearables — unless you’re willing to revive the over-accessorizing trend of the 1980s. So what if everyday objects that we interact ...
