Frequently this absolute position must be available immediately after power up without returning to a reference position. This is usually achieved by using a gear reduction together with an absolute measuring angular position sensor. Due to durability concerns of the gear, this approach maybe undesired.

The data format and internal transducer electronic transducer data sheet (TEDS) is compatible with a revised (RS232) version of the IEEE 1451.2 smart sensor interface standard. A network capable application processor (NCAP) which interfaces directly to the Internet via Ethernet (without a PC) was demonstrated. Also a version with a PC (via RS232) was tested. A microprocessor with an internal 24-bit A/D and a ratio-metric circuit configuration allowed measurement and computational resolution to within 2 ppm. The overall data resolution was 0.001/spl deg/C. An advantage of the digital transfer of data is that resolution is not lost in the transfer process. Data can be viewed by any computer on the Internet through a standard browser either directly or through a service website which periodically polls the sensor and stores the data for later review.","PeriodicalId":381233,"journal":{"name":"ISA/IEEE Sensors for Industry Conference, 2004.

Many applications needs to measure sensor values, to control actuators and to interact between several sensors/actuators and other systems. Thus an intrinsic goal exists that the sensors and actuators can autonomously communicate with each other. A lot of applications are not suitable for wired communication. Hence there is an additional goal to realize the communication wireless. These goals lead to the challenge to implement smart, wireless, autonomous microsystems (SWAMs). Such a microsystem may capture the data of several sensors and control actuators. It will be intelligent and can communicate with a great number of other systems. Because the communication is wireless it is necessary that the SWAM is power aware to achieve a long lifetime. With SWAMs it is possible to build sensor actuator networks in the area of medical technology, environmental technology, process technology etc. This paper gives a survey about the requirements for the architecture of SWAMs. Then it will be pointed out, which feasibilities exist to realize such architectures. Finally the results from the implementation of such a microsystem will be presented and at the end of the paper novel applications will be showed.","PeriodicalId":381233,"journal":{"name":"ISA/IEEE Sensors for Industry Conference, 2004.

The ability to grow III nitrides on Si wafers is considered to be key to the development of multi-color detectors ranging from the UV to IR wavelengths. GaN/InGaN p-n heterostructures grown on Si wafers indicated sensitivity in a wide spectral range from near UV to near IR. Employment of Schottky barrier photodiode structures based on AlGaN alloys allows extension of the spectral sensitivity further into the UV range beneficial for solar-blind sensing. An alternative way to combine sensitivities in separated IR (provided by silicon) and UV (featured by III nitrides) bands by employment of commercially available silicon-on sapphire (SOS) wafers is discussed.","PeriodicalId":381233,"journal":{"name":"ISA/IEEE Sensors for Industry Conference, 2004.

The results derived indicate that the optimum operating frequency for inter-node communications highly depends on the antenna configurations and terrain conditions.

The sensor system is constructed so the liquid sample will flow through the sensing unit while measuring continuously. The sensor has a solid construction, does not contain any fragile parts and is independent of how it is positioned. This creates new approaches and the sensor can easily be mounted on a underwater vehicle for continuous inspection of drinking water reservoirs and continuously monitor the quality of the water as well as be mounted directly on a drinking water tap.","PeriodicalId":381233,"journal":{"name":"ISA/IEEE Sensors for Industry Conference, 2004.
