The IEEE has defined IEEE 1451, a family of Smart Transducer Interface standards that permit systems to automatically identify sensors and obtain their calibration and operating parameters. In March ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

The thermometer and the barometer were born in the 1600s and, since then, sensors used for environmental purposes have ...

Although smartphones and other consumer cameras are increasingly used for scientific applications, it's difficult to compare and combine data from different devices. A new easy-to-use standardized ...

A research paper has uncovered a sensor calibration attack that is capable of pulling device data and can track Android and iPhone handsets across the internet almost instantly — without any user ...

Sensor manufacturers typically calibrate the devices in the factory to achieve highly accurate outputs, but all sensors experience some offset error once they are in ...
