Today’s smartphones utilize a wide array of accelerometers, gyroscopes and various other sensors in their designs. Relatively unknown is the barometric pressure sensor, which measures air pressure.

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

A new differential air pressure (∆P) sensor configuration is now available for use with GrayWolf’s AdvancedSense™ and WolfPack™ instruments. By combining auto-ranging and auto-zeroing technology, this ...

According to the Patently Apple, the iPhone maker is working on integrating the new air pressure sensor for the future earphones. The US Patent and Trademark Office has officially published a series ...

A team of mechanical engineers investigating a revolutionary kind of micro-switch has found another application for its ongoing research. A team of mechanical engineers at Binghamton University, State ...

What’s that smell? From procedures as complicated as those involved in electrolysis to more commonly understood tasks like coffee roasting, many industrial processes create byproducts that we do not ...

Besides a larger display and redesigned metal body, details regarding which features the next-generation iPhone models will pack have been light. However, it appears that the new models could include ...

There’s a new meteorologist on Mars. Although NASA’s InSight spacecraft landed on the red planet late in 2018 to measure the planet’s geology—primarily by listening for Mars quakes—it also brought ...

An HVAC pressure sensor is particularly important in the cooling cycle—which includes compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation—where it helps regulate refrigerant flow. Proper airflow ...
