- Top 10 questions to consider when selecting a measurement sensor (01/10/2021)
  
  Why do sensor suppliers ask detailed questions when it comes to solving a measurement task? With different measurement technologies & thousands of sensor variants to choose from, the answers to these questions help suppliers determine which sensor is best for your application, says Glenn Wedgbrow, Business Development Manager at measurement technology specialist, Micro-Epsilon UK.
- Direction finding using Bluetooth Angle of Arrival (01/10/2021)
  
  Angle of Arrival (AoA) – used for locating & tracking of devices – was included in the Bluetooth 5.1 Core Specification, released in January 2019. As with most Bluetooth updates, there were several changes within that specification, but Angle of Arrival was the one that attracted most attention.
- What is sensor linearity & what does it mean? (01/10/2021)
  
  Most analogue output sensors have general specifications such as linearity (or non-linearity), repeatability & resolution, as well as environmental specifications like operating temperature or shock & vibration, and dynamic specifications like response or bandwidth.
- Gas detection techniques using pyroelectric sensors (01/10/2021)
  
  Gas detection is an essential aspect of many industrial & commercial applications, covering many potential sources, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide & several anaesthetic gases. Most of us have detectors in our homes to protect us from smoke & carbon monoxide. Other applications include measuring carbon dioxide expelled, termed capnography, for medical diagnostic purposes, air quality measurement in smart buildings & commercial portable gas analysis detectors.
