Ripka (electrical engineering, Czech Technical University) and Tipek, a private sector researcher, present the latest principles and properties of new sensor types, concentrating on sensor types used or having the potential to be used in industrial applications. Contributors in process automation, industrial project management, and measurement describe the latest materials and technologies related to pressure, optical, and flow sensors, intelligent sensors and sensor networks, accelerometers and inclinometers, chemical sensors and biosensors, level-position-distance sensors, temperature sensors, solid state gyroscopes and navigation, magnetic sensors, and new technologies and materials. The information presented will help system developers and system integrators make decisions about which sensor type to use in which systems and what behavior might be expected. The book is distributed in the US by the Independent Publishers Group.
