This video shows PI’s Piezo Technology, which includes a range of piezoelectric actuators and piezoelectric sensor components for applications in industry and research. There are numerous sizes and ...

Piezoresistive (diaphragm-based) differential pressure sensors based on silicon comprise a thin silicon diaphragm in which resistors (connected together in a Wheatstone bridge) are lodged. If there is ...

For example, a 2-kN force properly applied to a cubic-centimetersized quartz crystal produces over 12.5 kV. Voltage created by an applied stress is called piezoelectricity. Unlike strain gages that ...

Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at ...

Piezoelectric effects translate mechanical motion into electricity and vice versa, energizing a variety of electronic transducer applications as well as promising to cut power consumption in MEMS ...

There are tricks to working with devices originally designed to be sensors rather than generators. Brian Shaffer Applications Manager - Boston Design Center Linear Technology Corp. It's hard not to ...

How researchers are modifying basic materials to enhance and tailor transducer performance. Efforts and results achieved with piezoelectric materials. Efforts and results achieved with triboelectric ...

Ceramics are materials which have existed for a long period of time and have since evolved from the materials used to make porcelain. Aside from conventional ceramics seen in art galleries, there are ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...
