In Sensors, Olive and her cousin, Troy, help their family remodel a quaint old lodge in the mountains. They decide that the old building could use some modernization. A visiting inventor suggests some sensors that would help. Sensors are devices that respond to heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism or motion. The inventor explains the principles behind different types of sensors that can detect the presence of something, such as smoke detectors, automatic doors and security alarms.
When first published in 1989 this was the leading book on chemical sensors. Since then, many undergraduate textbooks on chemical sensors have been published, but no graduate ones. This book is the first advanced undergraduate/graduate textbook on chemical sensors, and as with the first edition it will also garner strong interest as a reference volume.
A Comprehensive Guide to Sensors and Control Systems in Manufacturing Thoroughly updated with cutting-edge technologies, this detailed resource offers proven methods for effectively evaluating, selecting, and implementing sensors and controls to ensure error-free manufacturing environments. The Guide offers step-by-step guidance on applying sensors to measure product parameters, control manufacturing, develop precision manufacturing systems, and generate and control motion. Real-world examples are included throughout to demonstrate successful industrial applications.
