Sensors and Transducers

Sensors and Transducers Sensors transducers are devices which produce proportional output signal (mechanical, electrical magnetic, ctc.) when exposed to a physical phenomenon (pressure, temperature, displacement, force, etc.). Many devices require sensors for accurate measurement of pressure, position, speed, acceleration or volume. Transducers are devices which converts an input of one form of energy into an

Microprocessor Based Controllers

Microprocessor Based Controllers Microprocessors are essential to many of the products we use every day such as TVs, cars, radios, home appliances and of course, computers. Microprocessor based controllers are also called as microcontrollers. Microcontroller is a digital integrated circuit which serves as a heart of many modern control applications. Microprocessors and microcontrollers are similar

Mechatronics Engineering

Mechatronics engineering is a word originated in Japan in 1980s to denote the combination of technologies which go together to produce industrial robots. The word, mechatronics, is composed of “mecha” from mechanism and the “tronics” from electronics. In other words, technologies and developed products will be incorporating electronics more and more into mechanism, intimately and

Introduction – Power System In general, each generating plans in any power system may have more than one generating unit. Each of the unit may have identical or different capacities. A number of power plants can be tied together to supply the system load by means of interconnection of the generating stations. Interconnected electric power

WDM Wavelength Division Multiplexing

WDM – Wavelength Division Multiplexing A distinctive operational feature of an (WDM wavelength division multiplexing) optical fiber is that there is a wide spectral region in which optical signals can be transmitted efficiently. For full- spectrum fibers this region includes the O-band through the L-band, which ranges from about 1260 to 1675 nm. Since the
