Infrared and Software Components Power a SARS-Monitoring DeviceAnalysis software and infrared imager combine to detect high skin and body temperatures
Through the teamwork of an infrared imaging solutions provider and a developer of infrared applications, a temperature-monitoring system was created in response to the recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic. Indigo Systems Corp. (Goleta, CA) and WinSoft Corp. (Santa Ana, CA) reacted to the epidemic by developing ThermaStat, a human skin- and body-temperature monitor with an accuracy of ±0.5°C.

Profile Sensor Suited for Measurement Devices
Simplified circuits use large pixel size
A profile sensor developed by Hamamatsu (Bridgewater, NJ) has external circuits that use a larger-than-average pixel size. The design results in easier and less-costly readings than normal-area image sensors, according to the company. The device is suited for use with medical measurement equipment and other light-spot position detection applications. Read more...
Couplings Use RFID Technology for Fluid Control
