Annual sensor fair (Sensor Expo 2018) came again! Grand meeting attracted this sensor that spends this year to exceed 5, 000 people are registered participate in, the company that still has 250 above shows newest product. relatively reveal at the technology last year, these numbers that grow ceaselessly show in net of this content couplet (the inchoate level that IoT) develops, the sensor combination that has all sorts of increasing differring increases in succession, also attracting the high interest of people continuously at the same time.

 

This year exhibit meeting site, I had an opportunity to visit school of cent of Santiago of American California university (Albert Pisano of prexy of project of UC San Diego) Jacobs. He once was in Baike Lai university (UC Berkeley) is chaired sensor and send move implement lab. And in this new job post, what he guides is dedicated at appareling the similar plan of type device.

 

But, pisano says: ” we are not to should be done resemble Fitbit in that way product, compatible device is interested in the biology that reacts to can having chemistry on the skin directly however. “

 

Pisano introduces his to study the group is probing case of medium 3 key application: Those who be used at premature is small-sized, abiding model combine sensor; Use at the successive biosensor of old people, and pharmacy company is in clinical trial the sensor in park human body.

 

From the point of technical challenge, these sensor must raise accuracy, reduce cost, dimension and power comsumption at the same time. In the lab, an interesting technology is to use the lactic acid in fluid of human body sweat to regard power supply as origin, drive of its n enough exceeds low power radio. Nevertheless, this technology still is in inchoate phase, big data is faced with to challenge when the wide difference that how is aimed at individual chemistry certainly undertakes calibration.

 

Dimension and cost also are the main factor that asset of —— of another sensor market tracks —— ; This one market is occupied saying is IoT in one of the most popular domains. Indebted at chip conformity and network of inferior power comsumption (be like LTE CatM and LoRa) drive, module price has been reduced from 25 dollars to average 15 dollars. However, the engineer that reveals this module says, the bad news is battalion motion business have not the CatM network with general stable deploy, and LoRa still is in devote oneself to deploy whole world to roam.

 

In addition, united States Shang Yade Nuo (ADI) , collect Mu (the sensor supplier that the main ginseng such as Rohm) and TDK exhibits business to bought a few lesser dimensions a few years in succession in the past, had filled nowadays neat its product combination.

 

The last day in this year grand meeting afternoon, spot of newest sensor technology still attracts numerous crowd to gather

 

ADI bought Symeo in Feburary this year hind, rolled out the radar sensor that deploys 57-64GHz. This total position is in at the Symeo of German Munich before be being bought, all the time in the sale this covers measure only a baseball 3 of size, 000 dollars system, the target depends on the crane of exact location construction site waiting for utility.

 

 

The recipe of this company in what use off-the-peg chip at its circuit board designs supportive software to carry out, can let two sensor work in coordination consequently, offer more than 500 meters (the fixed position precision of the 5mm of M) above, this locates compared with what use operation of a radar alone precision is taller quantitative class.

 

If reach the technology that when begins to roll out Symeo,ADI has not express prospective general clearly, but reveal the prominent place in its stall to look from this technology, apparently this company expresses great expectations to it.

 

Meaning law semiconductor (STMicroelectronics; ST) revealed a kind can collect 20Hz comes the MEMS microphone of 80KHz question mark, but depth monitors supersonic wave spectrum, in order to detect the breakdown circumstance such as the cop leak in the building. As be in Sensor Expo exhibits the other sensor of field same, this package purpose under 1 dollar is circulating at stringing together data be defeated to carry out embedded small controller of the analysis (MCU) .

 

 

The starts company Aroma Bit newly to praise oneself to analyse a service to offer flavor data company that comes from Japanese Tokyo. Technology of sensor of gas of this company proprietary, the film that used 35 kinds to differ respectively will detect odour. This kind of technology calls quartz crystal microbalance, can measure quartz the frequency of crystal resonator changes, the quality that defines every area thereby changes.

 

 

The Aroma Coder 35Q in graph setting feels on the antrum room that measures a box to be able to regard segregation as odour. Should achieve company to this day newly to already wove more than 1, the number of 000 kinds of odour signs. For example, 100 things coke was offerred in revealing (Pepsi) and Coke Cola (the digital description of Coca-Cola) odour difference.

 

Magnetism sensor supports all sorts of point of view
 

TDK reveals the its newest magnetoresistive that wear Sui (TMR) sensor. 360° angle sensor can offer the fixed position of 0.2 degrees of less than, predict to will be in today autumn give appearance, its cost is less than 1 dollar according to saying.

 

 

Sensor of new fund TAD2140 can be used at car motivation steering wheel and rain to brush the product such as motor, still obtained order of intelligence mobile phone last year, the watch for an opportunity that is used in the mobile phone prevents hand shake function. This component uses TO-6 to enclose, integrated 6 capacitance and a resistor, supportable use ICsense is embedded the digital interface of DSP. ICsense is the ASIC design company that TDK bought in March 2017.

 

British PST Sensors is revealed in soft the newest progress of integrated sensor on plastic substrate. This design is developed to be used at artificial limb interior only, be monitored through blue tooth and these elements may affect the dynamic —— such as the temperature of interior of redound artificial limb, humidity because amputation patient is diabetic and farther aggravation.

 

 

This sensor will nowadays autumn use at service center of British nation fitness (National Health Service) has a test. PST Sensors is developing the 2nd acting product at present, predicting next year publishs this to be able to braid the sensor product at the sock.

 

Alps diversification sensor
 

Low of Japanese A Er this electric company limited (Alps Electric) reveals its sensor to combine () laying a plan, this also can use an index of diversification as sensor domain at the same time. This company did not publish new chip in the activity, show even the hand the end that uses its module development to be opposite with Mode of supplier of software of operation of high in the clouds of gateway supplier, United States however net of the couplet that carry matter solution.

 

 

Among Thales angle IMU the market
 

Branch of the United States below banner of French Thales Group is trying to use its newest NavChip2, for its 6 axes are inertial measure unit (the intermediate market with IMU) new open up. This module uses off-the-peg chip, with be as high as 16G is mixed 2, 000 degrees / the speed of the second, offer horary the accuracy of fixed position drift under 5 degrees. Its target depends on be car, unmanned aircraft and robot to offer with inferior cost 1, the subsystem of 300 dollars.

 

 

Collect Mu (the sensor of blame contact electric current that ROHM) reveals a miniature, use magnetism to slant buy measures the electricity that carries circuit board. relatively the way at using resistor at present, this component that is less than 1 dollar reduced power comsumption and heat considerably.

 

 

Upgrade touch accuse with security
 

Small core science and technology (Microchip Technology) reveals to increase model capacitance type is touched accuse sensor, can embed at its 32 new-style MCU——SAM L10 are mixed L11. This company claims the Arm Cortex-M23 MCU that these chip are technology of security of hardware of first support Arm TrustZone. Touch in-housely in this MCU accuse sensor can parallel picks take 4 dispatch order, and what have than this company is embedded sensor is had fight much betterly noise and fight humidity function.
