mechanical sensor

This basic property can be used to create a sort of mechanical sensor.

The Marines will also be equipped with $12,000 mechanical sensors.

Mechanical sensors can be placed on a specially modified video camera's lens and body.

The technology for a pedometer includes a mechanical sensor and software to count steps.

Banks' work involved using chemical and mechanical sensors for improved monitoring and control.

Targets can also include mechanical sensors or aircraft.

"They have mechanical sensors for smoke," Tut replied.

One issue with this sensor type is measurement accuracy when compared to a calibrated mechanical sensor.

Longitudinal waves are believed to be picked up and transmitted through the rods, acting as mechanical sensors, to allow prey detection.

It also interprets feedback information to the user that comes from the biosensors and mechanical sensors.

Some pedometers use an accelerometer to more accurately measure the number of steps taken and distance traveled than a mechanical sensor can provide.

Optical mouse/trackball Most mice and trackballs use a mechanical sensor that is driven by the movement of a ball.

Sensors of medical monitors include biosensors and mechanical sensors.

The Analog Devices sensor is not only less than half the price of earlier mechanical sensors, but industry engineers say it is much more reliable.

In addition, Henshaw's cyborg body possesses a various number of other mechanical sensors, and has the ability to interface with any machine.

Optical or mechanical sensors scan a reference surface to measure the actual milling depth and compare it to the pre-selected target values.

Mouse Systems patented an optical-electronic sensor system (see illustration) that eliminated the mechanical sensors in the mouse and made them more reliable.

Compared to mechanical sensors, the ultrasonic sensors offer several advantages such as no moving parts, advanced self-diagnostic capabilities and reduced maintenance requirements.

The purpose of the mechanical sensors is to measure information about the biomechatronic device and relate that information to the biosensor or controller.

A hardware architecture generally includes some form of analog, digital, or hybrid electronic computer, along with electronic and mechanical sensors and actuators.

Unfortunately, as people age the mechanical sensors in their feet, joints and muscles degrade, much as hearing and vision decline, Dr. Collins said.

Arthropods also have a wide range of chemical and mechanical sensors, mostly based on modifications of the many setae (bristles) that project through their cuticles.

Mechanical sensors process aspects affecting the device (e.g., limb position, applied force, load) and relay this information to the biosensor or controller.

The Toyoda Model G loom featured mechanical sensors that automatically shut down the loom if a warp thread snapped.

Although Hollerith had numerous patents for his tabulators, Powers managed to avoid infringement, by using mechanical sensors on the punch readers, instead of electrical sensors.
