The first all-inclusive reference on sensors in industry and science!
Helps engineers, scientists, medical researchers, and technicians
pinpoint the optimum sensor for any given application. Finally a
current and comprehensive guide to commercially available sensors!
This one-of-a-kind reference offers valuable information on a vast
array of sensors for almost every application, including
micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), magnetorheological sensors,
optical fiber sensors, and the SpectRx spectrophotometer sensor. With
this Handbook, professionals can check the specifications for a
required component more easily and more reliably than ever! The
Sensors Handbook gives background information on the use of several
technologies fundamental to the development of sensor applications in
many fields. It also provides a valuable yet simple understanding of
sensor implementation in the fields of manufacturing engineering,
engineering design, aerospace engineering, the military,
pharmaceuticals, medicine, agriculture, manufacturing control, and
environmental studies. The sensor technology described in this
Handbook provides scientists, engineers, and system implementers with
a very powerful tool to implement the latest in flexible manufacturing
control using sensors to monitor and control productivity
quantitatively and qualitatively. In addition, it serves the advanced
manufacturing organizations in providing a clear understanding of the
role of sensors and control systems in computer-integrated
manufacturing strategies.
