The U.S. Air Force has awarded RTX (NYSE: RTX) company Raytheon an approximately $1.05 billion sole source contract to upgrade the sensors on the F-22 Raptor fighter jets. The Department of Defense ...

We’re pretty familiar with budget resistor-based bend sensors at this point, but this sensor is in a totally different class. Instead of relying on resistive elements, [Useok Jeong] and [Kyu-Jin Cho] ...

If you do any kind of machining, 3D printing, or PCB layout, you probably have at least considered buying a pair of calipers. Old-fashioned ones had a dial and were mechanical devices, but lately, ...

Characterizing RF power sensors is commonly done using a direct comparison system which employs a resistive RF power splitter with a power standard connected to a power meter. One of the most stable ...

From Disney World to the smartphone in your pocket, fingerprint scanners have become commonplace these days. Even budget phones sport the tech, sometimes alongside other biometric unlocking options ...

Wireless sensors scattered throughout a building can monitor everything from humidity and temperature to air quality and light levels. This seems like a good idea–until you consider the hassle and ...

Abstract: The calibration process involved comparing data from capacitive sensors with soil moisture content measured continuously by the volumetric water content (VWC) method. The results showed that ...

Abstract: As robotics advances toward integrating soft structures, anthropomorphic shapes, and complex tasks, soft, highly stretchable mechanotransducers are becoming essential. To reliably measure ...
