Manufacturers

2008 Manufacturer Description Page

A large part of this class revolves around taking previously obtained information of former students and adding to it. The 2007 class built this list of manufacturers they contacted, some with success, and some without.Our aim this year is to flesh out what these companies offer, activate links to their information, and provide some searchable and contextual information we can then use in the future to find the sensors we need on a given project.

Assignment: Please find three companies below (or by all means, a company that does not exist on this page). Visit their website, taking notes on the types of sensors they offer and any other details about those items which is different/unique. Drop these notes back into this page, followed by a link to your netid. Also, please turn the URLs you choose into active clickable URLs, by surrounding them in the appropriate [[http://url|Website Name]] format.

 you're contacting right before you do it, so we are sure to avoid repeats.  I've listed the email URLs below, so you can search this website for any of the  (CTRL-F) email addresses you're about to use.  Sample Letter.\\\ -}

Don't repeatedly inquire to the same email address, even if you think it may have bounced. If you don't get a response, they're likely not interested. Do not post anyone's full email addresses here. Feel free to include any notes you have from your communications with the company below. \\\

Manufacturer List

infusionsystems

ultrosonic, air sensor, bang sensor, various of bend sensors, biobeat, biowave, bioflex, curl sensor,(expensive for those bio sensors),flash, tilt, hot (temperature) & humidity sensor, magnetic, loud (sound) sensor, orientation sensor, push sensor, approximity sensors, spin, touch, vibe sensor. a lot but expensive. some we could actually make by ourselves with cheap sensors.There is also a product called the I-CubeX Wi-microDig that enables us to interface sensors wirelessly to the computer. meng li

adamant-kogyooriginally by jamie

Gemssensors

Gemssensors have many types of level sensors and temperature sensors. Eun Jung Park

Macrosensors

They make many types of position sensors such as rotary position sensors, LVDT position sensors etc. Eun Jung Park

Parallax

Parallax sells accelerometers, touch sensors, temperature, humidity and pressure sensors. And for me the most interesting sensors are light sensor and color sensor. Also this company provides good sources and descriptions for each sensor like codes of datasheets. Eun Jung Park

Celesco

Celesco makes some great string-potentiometers, in various sizes all the way up to robust industrial. They also have industrial linear potentiometers useful for larger sensing needs. jamie

Emfit jamie modified by ~aad316?

Manufactures ferroelectric sensors and embedded electronics for bio-sensing. Some examples are fall, wandering, and epileptic seizure alarms. One specific sensor is a large bed sensor which they claim can detect slight movement, respiration and even heart rate.

leuzelumiflex.com jamie

Sewori jamie modified by ~aad316?

Manufactures a few types of sensors such as GPS, LCD, ultrasonic, parking, DMB and image sensors. China's largest ultrasonic sensor manufacturer and claims to manufacture an ultrasonic sensor that can detect over twice of its competitors. Ultrasonic sensors can be purchased as part of a parking sensor unit or alone.

Vernier aad316

Vernier manufactures over 50 different sensors for educational application. The sensors can be purchased alone for OEM use or with a portable data logging device to record and view the sensor's data. Curriculum based applications for sensors are available. Some examples of the sensors available include: CO2 sensor, blood pressure, sound level, EKG, dynameter, etc.Good place to visit if you are looking for a specific sensor as they seem to have nearly all applications available.

Reed Switch Developments Anaid

magnetic switches very helpful agents, customize switches to the buyers' needs.

Linseis Anaid

thermal analysis, dilatometers that measure expansion that comes from temperature variation. thermal analysis machines that determine simultaneous changes in mass and caloric reactions windows software that can be used for data acquisition, evaluation and temperature control. they also manufacture dataloggers that measure temperature, temperature/humidity, current, voltage, etc. They are used in the following industries: transportation, environmental, pharmaceutical, scientific and educational. they make chart recorders for the same purposes as above, in both paperless and line strip modes.

Camgraphics Anaid

they sell membrane switches, touch screens, silicon rubber keypads, controllers and El Lighting. They claim to be interface designers. they make different touch screens for diverse applications. their capacitive ones are advertised as ideal for public access since they resist wet and dirty environments. touch view plus is an interesting product, it has several layers, a graphic overlay, embossed keys, a shield, a dynamic pad, and a circuit layer. they also make keypads that integrate to printed circuit boards. They claim this respond better than plastic keypads and they seal much better too.

ThinFilmsInc Anaid

they make thin film to cover circuits by coating them with film. they also manufacture circuits themselves. other services are available to coat lasers and windows with different metals or other substances
