| Fiber-Optic Sensors for Corrosion Monitoring
| | By using fiber-optic sensors to measure wall thickness, gas pipeline operators can track and monitor how quickly pipelines are corroding. Linking the sensors to networked monitoring instrumentation allows them to do this remotely. |
| | | Keeping Cool
| | | If you've ever worked while resting a laptop computer on your lap, you know that computers emit heat, and the more powerful the computer, the greater the heat produced. This is a problem because electronics really don't enjoy elevated temperatures. A hot computer is a slow computer or, worse, a computer that will cease functioning. |

| Improving Doppler-Based Sensing Systems
| | | By incorporating high-performance digital signal controllers (DSCs), with their integrated architectures and small footprints, designers can simplify Doppler-based sensing systems, enhance their performance, and reduce development cycles. |
| | Measuring Viscosity with a Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor
| | | Viscosity, the resistance of a liquid to flow, is an important measurement requirement in industrial process control and OEM applications. Viscosity describes the retarding force that is proportional to the rate of deformation. This so-called shear rate has units of s?1 and describes the cross-stream gradient of the flow speed. |

| | Fiber Optics For Environmental Sensing
| | | A staple of the oil industry, distributed temperature sensing (DTS)—capable of measuring temperature along a length of fiber-optic cable—is finding utility in environmental monitoring, helping researchers to tease out the hydrology of streams, air flow in valleys, and health of glaciers. |
| | Finding the Right Pressure Switch
| |
| | Selecting a pressure switch that is well suited for a particular application is a multi-faceted process. The trick is to know what questions to ask to optimize your application. |
