Physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland, have built a circuit that is hardly more than a whiff of gas moving within laser beams.
Polestar Technologies, a company involved in sensor research and development of technology has been awarded a Phase II order from the US Army for designing noninvasive CO2 Sensors for applications in Combat Casualty Care.
Early detection and identification of trace level chemical and biological agents and explosive compounds are critical to rapid reaction, response, and survivability in asymmetric warfare. While there are many methods currently being used that can detect these threats, none allow for the unique fingerprinting of threat agents at trace levels.
Draeger Safety situated in Pittsburgh has developed carbon monoxide sensors to be used by fire rescue officials in Palm Beach County to protect them against potential risks of inhaling the tasteless, colorless and odorless but highly poisonous gas.
Siemens has developed a sensor that can warn users of constricted airways a day before an asthma attacks occur. The sensor works by measuring the level of nitrogen monoxide (NO) on a patient's breath to find out if their bronchial tubes have been inflamed. Usually inflammation happens long before an attack, and being able to predict it is half the battle won. Patients can then take the appropriate medical treatment.
A new law has been passed in Wisconsin that stipulates that all houses that have one or two families in the residence should install sensors that will detect presence of carbon monoxide, including those still under construction.
Ag Leader Technology, a developer of precision farming products, has launched the North American Wheat algorithm for OptRx.
CoorsTek has invested $3 million in EmiSense Technologies, a division of San Juan, Capistrano, both for development of its existing product line as well as providing support for testing for clients across the globe.
ItN Nanovation, a Nanostart company, recently obtained a patent from the European Patent Office for ‘misch metal oxides and their utilization in CO2 sensors’. The patent EP1636135 is expected to boost the use of semiconductive carbon dioxide sensing devices developed using nanotechnology.
The New York University has developed two sweatshirts that will alter the color in a polluted environment. Designed by Nien Lam and Sue Ngo, the sweatshirt has lungs printed on it in pink.
