Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. Untreated, those with sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep. This can happen hundreds of times over a 6 to...
The Precise Demands of Semiconductor Manufacturing
As predicted by Moore’s Law, the semiconductor manufacturing process continues to advance at a rapid pace with each subsequent generation of technology reducing the size and spacing of features...
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is a manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital model file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down...
What is VAV? What are the benefits?
Variable Air Volume (VAV) is a type of HVAC system that maintains a constant temperarture while varying the airflow in order to heat or cool buildings. This is in contrast to Constant Air Volume (CAV) systems, that...
The Importance of Air Filters in HVAC Systems
Air filters are a critical component of HVAC systems and must function efficiently in order to maximize system performance. They ensure that the air being circulated is filtered to avoid the spread of dus...
Many Types of Clean and Isolation Rooms
There are many clean room applications where consistent air pressure and/or an extremely clean air environment is required. These purposes range from healthcare to manufacturing to technology R&D. Examples ...
Spirometry Market
Spirometers are non-invasive medical devices primarily used for evaluating and diagnosing lung conditions by measuring various parameters related to the volume of air inhaled and exhaled. Spirometers are widely used in respiratory h...
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market
Unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as drones, are aircraft that operate without the presence of a human pilot on board. They form a part of an intricate unmanned aircraft system (UAS) comprising a ...
Importance of Accurate Air Quality Measurements
The significance of air quality is becoming increasingly apparent in today's society, as it encompasses a variety of concerns such as airborne illnesses, pollution, allergens, and gas emissions. As ...
Medical Ventilator Market
Medical ventilators are advanced air circulation systems engineered to facilitate breathing for patients incapable of doing so independently. Various categories of medical ventilators are utilized for different scenarios:
...
Power Line Interference
Power line noise can interfere with electrical, radio, and TV signals. It is typically exhibited near power lines or power sources and is extremely frustrating when trying to make sensitive measurements at low voltages. Depend...
Z-Track Virtually Eliminates Zero Drift
The Importance of Precision in Medical Diagnostics
Medical diagnostic equipment must be accurate—very accurate—to properly diagnose. Often, the difference between an effective and ineffective treatm...
The Importance of Pressure Switches
A pressure switch is a mechanical or electronic device that is activated when a certain pressure threshold or set point is reached. These failsafe response components instruct the system to perform an action if a c...
The Many Sources of Noise in Electrical Systems
Electromechanical devices, such as HVAC systems, hospital ventilators, and monitoring systems, are comprised of many parts that generate noise when these parts move, or the systems have air/gas/liqui...
Effective Pressure Sensor Implementations Require an Accurate Closed Loop
A closed-loop control system automatically regulates a process to a desired state based on continuous feedback from the system. It contains one or more mechanical or electronic...
‘Ordinary’ Pressure Sensors
Differential pressure sensors are designed to support one specific pressure range. Traditional sensors are factory-calibrated to perform optimally at that single range. Once this is predetermined in manufacturi...
Background on Differential Pressure Sensors
Measuring the comparative difference between two inputs, differential pressure sensors are a critical part of most mechanical and electromechanical devices that require precise measurement of air, gases, or...
