An exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge is a meter used for measuring the exhaust gas temperature of an internal combustion engine in combination with a thermocouple-type pyrometer.
The traditional video camera with its limited field of view makes it difficult for use in some of the applications in the field of computational vision. Catadioptric sensors are proving to be an apt solution for this issue.
Image sensors are miniature devices or circuits arranged on silicon chips, which are used for image capturing and sensing applications.
The bhangmeter is a non-imaging radiometer that was invented in 1948 with the purpose of detecting nuclear detonations and measuring the yield of a nuclear weapon.
A biosensor is a biological detection system in which a biological component is combined with a transducer to perform measurement of a biochemical quantity. The development of biosensors started with the invention of enzyme electrodes by Leland C. Clark in 1962.
