Résumé

Sensors are poised on the brink of a revolution that will rival that seen in microcomputers in the 1980s. These devices perform a vital function in today's world, by providing an interface to the real world. Smart sensors, wireless sensors, networked sensors and microtechnologies are revolutionizing sensor design and applications. The importance of sensors, however, contrasts with the limited information available on them. The Sensor Technology Handbook is an up-to-date and comprehensive sensor reference guide to be used by engineers and scientists in industry, research, and academia to help with the sensor selection and system design. It is packed with hard-to-find information, contributed by noted engineers and companies working in the field today. The book offers guidance on understanding, selecting, specifying, and using the optimum sensor for any given application.

In addition to background details on sensor technology, measurement, and data acquisition, the handbook provides copious information on each type of sensor technology, covering:

technology fundamentals
sensor types, giving advantages/disadvantages
manufacturers
selecting and specifying sensors
applicable standards
interfacing information with hardware and software
design techniques and tips, with examples
the latest and future developments and applications
and much more!

The accompanying CD-ROM contains design tools and related information on sensors and instrumentation techniques.
