| 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. |

| The Hidden Costs of Compressed Air/Gas Leaks
| | | Leaks are bad news. Not only do they lessen your process efficiency, but they can also present a danger to the environment and your personnel. Here's why you should perform regular leak audits and how to approach the auditing process. |
| | | Hydrogen-Specific Sensing for Industrial Process Control and Safety
| | | Monitoring hydrogen in the process industries is important for both process optimization and for safety. H2Scan has developed inline, solid-state palladium-nickel-based sensors that are highly selective to hydrogen, do not require oxygen to operate, and can detect hydrogen in concentrations from a few ppm to 100%. |
