The German sensor-maker Leuze claims that it has been able to cut measurement errors in demanding industrial applications by ...

It is not an easy task to measure to the nanometer scale—achieving it requires careful engineering and a stable sensor. The sensors employed for stage position feedback within semiconductor ...

Errors such as noise cause a damping of the signal relative to the ideal case. Finite- rate quantum error correction can recover substantial parts of the lost signal ...

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Precision manufacturing relies on accurate and precise dimensional metrology for process monitoring and control. Simply put, it is impossible to sustain a manufacturing process that is both accurate ...

When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...

All analog measurements — voltage, current, temperature, humidity, etc. — include some amount of error. Your job is to minimize those errors enough to give your ...
