Scratch-resistant Gorilla glass provides an ultra-durable screen for handheld devices without compromising image quality.

To take full advantage of the resolver's potential, you have to compensate for error sources. Simulating resolver and cable functions go a long way toward helping you achieve this goal.

The latest developments in IR sensors not only help you optimize your manufacturing processes and business operations but also enable you to meet industry standards for final product quality and reliability.

Who wants to buy a beverage in a chipped bottle or cereal in a box with crushed corners? Sensor Wireless Inc. (www.sensorwireless.com) set about developing a specialized technology to prevent such uglies. Their wireless sensors transmit data on handling and environmental parameters and show the results in real time.

ISA publishes Independent Learning Modules (ILMs), materials designed primarily for independent self-study. This book is one of these ILMs and is intended to provide a broad understanding of sensors (in terms of what you need to measure and what devices exist to do so) coupled with information on how to choose wisely.

Modern industrial automation applications—such as PLCs, factory process control, and intelligent transmitters—all demand high-performance, low-power components. Current-mode data transmission is no exception. Intelligent 4–20 mA current-mode data transmission is the preferred technique in many industrial automation applications and is a well-established standard for communications between the host computer and smart/intelligent transmitters in harsh factory environments. This article describes intelligent transmitters and explains their need for high-resolution, low-power ADCs, DACs, and isolation devices.

Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) makes ingredients for human food and animal feed, as well as renewable fuels and naturally derived alternatives to industrial chemicals. In 1971, ADM acquired Corn Sweeteners Inc., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which it subsequently expanded into ethanol production.

Ocean Optics has agreed to co-brand and distribute Raman spectrometer systems based on Centice Corp.'s patent-pending, multimodal multiplex spectroscopy (MMS) technology, which uses a coded wide-area aperture, instead of the conventional pin hole or slit entrance and can sample and mathematically process up to 500 channels simultaneously.

The technology can turn your PC into a highly deterministic distributed control platform.
