| Eight Years Opportunity:
Mars Rover Finds Signs of Water |
| |
 maxon
motor ag: In the eighth year of its Mars
expedition, the Mars rover Opportunity has found
evidence that water once existed on Mars. According to
briefings by NASA, in late 2011 the rover found a vein
of a notably light colored mineral – apparently gypsum –
deposited by flowing water. For scientists, the gypsum
deposits found by Opportunity on Mars are a sensation.
They are convinced that the discovery proves that water
once flowed at this site. On its way through the
desolate Meridiani plane, the rover came across the
light colored streaks in the ground by chance. An
analysis of the minerals should help scientists better
understand the geological history of Mars. Billions of
years ago, the atmosphere on Mars was significantly
denser; evidence indicates that there was once water in
abundance on the surface of the planet. Today, the
atmosphere is too thin to allow water to exist in liquid
form. ... |

| New
Capacitive Displacement Probes Expand Measurement Ranges and
Resolutions |
| |
 To
accommodate small spaces and larger measurement ranges,
Lion Precision has added to their
capacitive probe selection. New probes are available in
diameters of 3 mm, 18 mm and 25 mm. In addition to new
sizes, the probes use new design parameters that further
improve long-term stability, resolution and temperature
drift. On the small end of the spectrum, the new 3mm
diameter probes provide measurement ranges as small as
10 µm with resolutions less than 1 nanometer. The tiny
probes are only 15 mm long with right-angle or axial
cable exits for squeezing into very tight spaces. On the
larger end, the new 18 mm and 25 mm probes provide
measurement ranges as large as 12.5 mm while still
maintaining resolutions as low as 125 nm. “New design
approaches and new construction techniques have enabled
us to create these smaller and larger probes while
maintaining the high performance people expect from our
equipment,” says Lion Precision president, Don Martin.
He added, “What we learned will now trickle down into
our existing probe offerings giving improved performance
across the entire line ... |

| Expansion thermometer with
electrical output signal |
| |
 Under
the badge of "intelliTHERM®", WIKA
launches a new mechatronic product family, starting with
the TGT70 thermometer. It combines, in a single
instrument, an electrical output signal with on-site
display - without the need for an external power supply.
The TGT70 is an expansion thermometer for general
industrial applications. It operates in the range -40 …
250 °C, while the selectable output signals are 0.5 ...
4.5 V and 4 ... 20 mA. With the new thermometer,
temperature can be precisely controlled and
adjusted, in the event of power loss the analogue
display guarantees a correct measured value. Since only
one measuring point is required, this product also saves
costs. ... |

 With
the acquisition of Scandura, WIKA has
taken a further step to strengthen its leading role in
the field of calibration technology. Scandura, founded
in Italy in the 1950s, from the start established itself
internationally as a manufacturer of special calibration
applications. The portable calibrators, in particular,
meet the highest demands and safety standards, and they
offer reliable measuring equipment (for example with
ATEX certificates and for critical applications in the
process industry). The complete calibration systems
enjoy a special reputation as well. Calibration software
rounds out the portfolio. Scandura will be integrated
into the calibration technology division ... |

New sensor telemetry system transmits data via wireless and induction |
| |
 Manner
Sensortelemetrie has improved its tried and tested
sensor telemetry system even further. A new version allows for
the data to be transferred either inductively or by wireless
signals. This way, the relative merits of the different types of
system are combined. As is well-known, the battery-powered radio
telemetry system is characterized by its ease of use, as there
is no need to mount a pickup or rotor induction loop. One
special feature is that the system has a range of up to 50 m
when battery-operated. This is ideal for brief "kludge"
measuring tasks. In spite of using multiple channels bandwidths
of up to 40 kHz can be achieved. On the other hand, the
inductive sensor telemetry system has an unlimited service life
and provides extreme robustness under tough environmental
conditions. It is not affected by interference. Depending on the
application concerned, one or the other system is best suited.
The new solution can be used for battery-powered short-term
measurement tasks, as well as for long-term measurements
conducted over an unlimited time with an inductive power source.
Measuring service providers only need to carry one type of
system (weighing very little) in their hand luggage, which
greatly simplifies logistics and maintenance. Thus even a system
that has been mounted for short-time measurement can be easily
converted to perform long-term measurements. ... |

Micronas set to enlarge its 3D Hall sensor family |
| |
 Micronas,
a leading supplier of cutting-edge
sensor and IC system
solutions for automotive and industrial electronics, invests in
the development of new
hall sensors of the HAL 36xy and HAL 38xy
families and so enlarges its product portfolio in the field of
multi-dimensional magnetic field detection. Unlike standard
magnet field measurements which only capture and detect magnetic
fields whose field lines run orthogonally to the chip surface,
the HAL 36xy and HAL 38xy sensor families with their additional
vertical Hall boards also detect magnetic field components of
the magnetic field running parallel to the surface. The vertical
Hall boards have the advantage that they can be made using a
standard CMOS process without additional post-processing and
that they are not influencing the magnetic field itself. The
members of the Hall sensor families based on 3D Hall technology
all feature temperature-compensated Hall boards with cycled
offset compensation, A/D transformers, digital signal
processing, a push-pull output, an EEPROM with redundant memory
cells and write protection for the calibration data and the data
registry information, a digital programming interface as well as
additional switching components realizing diagnosis functions
and so enhancing the safety of the aggregate system such as
temperature and voltage monitoring (under and overvoltage),
open-circuit detection and overload protection in all
connections. Additional functions such as an EEPROM self-test
during system start can be activated by the customer. The
sensors of the HAL 36xy family detect the magnetic field
components in the X and Y level in three-dimensional space ... |

The XV-3700CB Gyro-sensor offers a high scale factor and wide sensing
range |
| |
 Epson Toyocom Corporation,
the leader in crystal devices, announced it has completed
commercial development and launched volume production of the
XV-3700CB, a high-sensitivity gyro-sensor with a wide detection
range that has been optimized as an input device for motion user
interfaces. Sensing the motion of persons or objects more
accurately requires that angular velocity be sensed over a wide
range, from slow speeds to fast. Ordinary sensors, however, have
not been able to simultaneously provide both a wide sensing
range and good stability and noise characteristics. The
XV-3700CB retains the low noise level and outstanding bias
stability of Epson Toyocom’s current XV-3500CB and, on top of
this, can accurately sense motion over a wide range by
simultaneously outputting two modes, a high-speed mode (sensing
range: +-1500 deg/s) with a nominal scale factor of 0.8 mV/(º ·
s-1), and a low-speed mode (sensing range: +-300 deg/s) with a
nominal scale factor of 3.624 mV/ (º · s-1). Used for analyzing
human motion or as an input device for a motion user interface
that accurately senses, for example, the attitude of a
radio-controlled helicopter, the new gyro-sensor will help
improve the performance of devices designed for motion sensing
applications, such as controllers and 3D mice. .... |
