The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) allows more sensors to be used for monitoring, detection and security purposes. However, this also introduces new problems to the user: Short sensor's lifespan (due to reliance on battery as the main power source) affecting the service operation, Cost and hassle associated with frequent maintenance and

A European start-up company has developed the world's smallest gas flow sensor. The tiny 3.5 mm x 3.5 mm CMOS MEMS sensor is small enough to fit into virtually any product and can be positioned where measurements matter. Examples of use cases include: active filter monitoring in vacuum cleaners, air-conditioning units and other consumer appliances;

Every day, the use of sensors in agriculture b e c o m e s m o r e widespread . Sensors are used to measure climate conditions and soil parameters (such as humidity and pH), t o predict crop yields and to identify potential dangers . Chemical batteries are the most common solution for the storage of energy in smart agriculture systems. They exhibit

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly deployed in various industries to do sensing, processing the information and automizing the systems. However, most of the existing IoT devices use batteries, leading to batteries replacement issues, especially with the significant growth in the number of IoT devices. Therefore, we develop a self-pow

The sensor technology is based on molecular imprinting and piezoelectric effect that enable real-time and label-free sensing of mass changes and energy dissipation on a surface originated from molecules adsorption, and molecular interactions, with high sensitivity and selectivity. This technology leverages on nanomaterial technology, enabling conve

This technology uses a simpler, inexpensive and faster mussel-inspired polymer to generate molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) crystals of QCM sensors. This sensor is designed for the purposes of research, testing, and monitoring, in the areas of chemical, biological and medicinal, agriculture, and material

A UK company has developed a battery that does not run out. This is by using recycled nuclear waste and it converts radiation energy into electrical energy. Because it uses nuclear waste that stays radioactive for thousands of years, it can also produce electricity for thousands of years as well. In other words, it is a battery that never runs out,

This optical fibre sensor has been developed in cooperation with an industrial collaborator that has an application requiring a sensor capable of measuring humidity in a harsh waste water treatment environment. The sensor employs a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) which acts as the basis of the Relative Humidity (RH) sensor design and the humidity sensing

This sensor-as-a-service offering can kickstart the user's IoT journey with ease. The service includes hardware, software and connectivity. The package features five sensor types: a temperature and humidity sensor a human passive infra-red (PIR) detector a magnetic sensor that detects opening and closing of assets an asset locating tracker a smart

Clock synchronization and time keeping are crucial in distributed applications like smart city sensor networks, manufacturing systems, data centres, etc. The various distributed elements like the sensors and actuators within the system should have tight clock synchronization to make sense of the collected data and provide timely controls. State of

Nanoplasmonics deal with creating ultra-compact components for nanoscale photonic devices to match their electronic counterparts. Focusing on control and manipulation of plasmons at nanometre dimensions, nanoplasmonics combines the strength of electronics and photonics and is predicted to replace existing integrated circuits and photonic devices. I

Electricity is the lifebloo

The present invention relates to the assembly of a passive thermal management system, namely a phase change material (PCM) heat sink, which includes a mechanism to relive the pressure within the chamber during the expansion of the phase change material. The most common method of encapsulating PCM is to fill the chamber in its expanded state, i.e. l

We have developed a hardware cum software IoT platform that will make it easier and cheaperto collect data or send alerts/messages from standard machines, instruments, sensors and meters installed in remote places - over low power wide area wireless networks (LPWAN) such as Sigfox, LoRa &NB-IoT. Our first products arenovel plug & play communication

The monitoring of environmental contaminants has become crucial as they can causeadverse health effects. Regulatory bodies around the world have setstrict limits on the use and emission of these hazardous substances. Ensuring compliance to these regulations is often achieved to chemical analysis in a laboratory, but nowadays there is a pressing nee

Ships coming into docks are required to undergo hull inspections and dock position checks. This task is traditionally performed by human divers. Recently, remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) have been deployed to aid in this process. However, conventional ROVs require the use of long umbilical cables or tethers to power the vehicles from s
