Researchers have developed fiber-based “optofluidic” sensors for measuring the properties of tiny amounts of fluid. The innovation increases the sensitivity of measurements and makes it less expensive ...

Providing design engineers of medical equipment and automotive systems with a non-contact means of detecting liquid through transparent tubing, TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed an ...

The non-invasive design, with no contact between the sensor and the fluid, eliminates all media compatibility and sterility issues. The device is highly flexible and the user can easily calibrate the ...

Fluid-level sensing is very common in industrial applications and now is being used in domestic applications to sense water levels in overhead tanks. The greatest challenge for designers is to make ...

Until quite recently, accurate measurement of the level of fluid in a container was remotely obtained using systems that required cumbersome cabling and hardware. Now, Senior Scientist Stan Woodard of ...

For example, sensing mechanisms can be damaged or destroyed by corrosive fluids or debris can clog a sensor port. For these and other situations a diaphragm seal protects the sensing element by ...
