There’s an old joke about how to tell how tall a building is using a barometer. The funniest answer is to find the building owner and offer them a nice barometer in exchange for the information. We ...

Temperature is one of the most common environmental metrics that is measured in electronic systems, and numerous sensor types are available to meet the various application requirements of embedded ...

Temperature is the most widely measured variable in the process industries, and it is often a critical factor in industrial processing. If a temperature measurement is not accurate or reliable, it can ...

As processor speeds increase and draw more power, thermal management becomes an increasingly important issue within all devices where microcontrollers are used. As thermal management becomes more ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

The measurement of temperature in high-temperature environments remains a central challenge across many scientific and industrial domains, from aerospace engine monitoring to materials processing.

Posifa Technologies has introduced its new PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, the latest device in the company's ...

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

Each body with a temperature higher than absolute zero (–273.15 °C = 0 Kelvin) releases electromagnetic radiation from the surface. This radiation is proportional to its intrinsic temperature. One ...

To help meet ADC market demands for higher-accuracy temperature measurements, Linear Tech enhanced its temperature sensor with multiple operating modes and by streamlining its analog inputs. The ...

With system efficiencies continually improving and environmental requirements becoming more stringent, subcooling and superheat measurements have become more and more important. They are the truest ...

In the 1950s, temperature-equalizing columns were commonly used in steam drum differential pressure–based devices for measuring water level. However, these columns are problematic because a portion of ...
