A COVID-19 sensor developed at Johns Hopkins University could revolutionize virus testing by adding accuracy and speed to a process that frustrated many during the pandemic. In a new study published ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — How long it takes to construct a building depends in large part on when the concrete of each floor is strong enough to take on loads. Purdue University engineers have developed ...

The wheels of a moving vehicle can move at different speeds, with some turning faster than others. This can cause a loss of steering control and compromise safety on the road. To mitigate this, speed ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...

Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

Automotive sensor testing and calibration are essential for keeping modern vehicles safe, efficient, and compliant with regulations. From pressure and temperature sensors to advanced driver-assistance ...

Automated test stations don’t always need proprietary test tools. Using a microcontroller, a PC, and free software tools, we developed an automated test station to test and align motion sensors. Test ...
