EBV sætter fokus på sensorer

I den seneste udgave af magasinet 'The Quintessence' retter EBV Elektronik blikket mod sensorteknologier (in english).

EBV Elektronik has released the latest issue of its knowledge magazine, 'The Quintessence'. The magazine describes the varied range of possible applications for modern sensor technology and reports on the current trends and developments in the sector.

- The number of sensors installed in machines and devices is continually on the rise. Sensors – technology's sensory organs – provide the basis for the development of increasingly intelligent machines capable of handling their tasks faster, more precisely and autonomously – whether in a car, in medicine, or in the 'Smart Factory', explains Bernd Schlemmer, Director of Communications at EBV Elektronik.

Dr Joy Crisp from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains which sensor systems on board the space probe Curiosity are used to try to find out whether Mars has ever provided conditions conducive to life.

Further articles show how sensors help to enable the increasingly natural movement of prosthetics, to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and to allow cars of the future to move autonomously in traffic. In a traditional round table discussion, experts from the sector reported that the number of sensors installed will continue to rise in the future, driven by the desire for information of increasingly intelligent technology.

And the sensors themselves are becoming more intelligent too – so preventing developers and users from drowning in a flood of data and being overwhelmed by excessively complex systems.

This 12th issue of 'The Quintessence' also offers an exciting look into the unknown, asking the question: Is there more out there than sensors today can measure? 'The Quintessence' provides the opportunity for two experts with opposing views to share their thoughts on the controversial topic of paranormal phenomena.

A print edition or ePaper of 'The Quintessence' can be ordered free of charge at www.ebv.com/tq. The interactive version of the magazine with more extensive information is now available as a tablet PC app free of charge in the Apple and Android stores under 'TQ by EBV'.
