High Accuracy HDI Pressure Sensors Offer 3 V Supply Versions for Battery Powered Applications
Sensortechnics' (Germany) HDI sensors measure absolute, differential or gage pressures in various ranges from 10 mbar up to 5 bar. The HDI series features 3 V supply versions which are ideally suitable for battery powered applications, e.g. in portable or handheld devices. HDI pressure sensors perform precision digital signal conditioning and achieve ultra high accuracies with an excellent Total Error Band (TEB) better than ±0.5 %FSS over a temperature range of 0...+85o
C.
The HDI series provides digital interfaces with I≤C bus protocol and analog 0.5...4.5 V output signals at the same time therefore allowing customers to build up a redundancy functionality for safety critical applications. The sensors are intended to be used with air and non-corrosive gases and offer various unidirectional, bidirectional or barometric calibrations as well as different accuracy classes. Miniature SMT and DIP housings allow for space-saving PCB-mounting and maximum OEM design flexibility. A wide selection of sensor configurations are available from stock at Sensortechnics. All HDI pressure sensors can be modified according to customer specific requirements, e.g. with respect to pressure range, resolution, accuracy and internal digital settings.
Due to the wide selection of different sensor configurations Sensortechnics is able to offer customers the best suitable sensor with an ideal cost/performance ratio. Typical applications of the HDI pressure sensors include medical devices, instrumentation, environmental controls and HVAC.

InfraTec (Germany) was awarded one of the at SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, the biggest conference and fair for optical technologies. The PRISM AWARD is given in 9 categories and recognises the best innovations in the field of optical and photonic technologies and products. The SPIE society was founded in 1955 as Society of Photographic Instrumentation Engineers. Since the 80s its aim as a non-profit international organisation has been the exchange, collection and propagation of knowledge in optics. SPIE is respected around the world as the highest board for photonic technologies. The introduced in 2008 are considered among experts as the "OSCAR" of photonic technologies and products.
InfraTec had submitted, via its North American subsidiary InfraTec Infrared LLC, the product "New MEMS tunable Fabry-Perot Interferometer Microspectrometer for Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy" for consideration. In the highly competitive category "Detectors, Sensing and Imaging Systems" we stood up against well-known competition. After already being awarded with the German "AMA-Sensorinnovationspreis" in 2008, the Prism Award 2009 confirms the top position of the Fabry-Perot Microspectrometer. This result could only be achieved by excellent collaboration with our colleagues from both the Center for Microtechnologies at the Chemnitz University of Technology and the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS. It emphasises the innovation potential of our region in the field of unique technologies and products.
The microspectrometer product family has already been brought to market for the wavelength region between 3.0-4.1 µm and 3.9-4.8 µm. By the end of 2010 a new version for the wavelength region between 8.0-10.5 µm will be available. A prototype of this long wave version will be demonstrated in function at the booth of our German distribution partner Lasercomponents GmbH at the Sensor+Test fair 2010 in Nürnberg. InfraTec is also planning to offer a dual band microspectrometer, which combines a short and long wavelength tuning range within one device. The mixed spectral information will be internally divided by a beamsplitter and provided separately at the device output.

New Sensor Technology Website Launched
A visit to
www.Analox.net will now be a more interactive and varied experience as Analox Sensor Technology launches its new website.
As Analox continues to expand its products in five very different fields, and develop markets around the world, so it has updated its website to give visitors more relevant information both about the products and the field in which they are used.
Michelle Morley, Marketing Manager for Analox Sensor Technology (UK), said: "When you visit our website, you will now find information geared towards the niche market you're interested in, and we're hoping you'll take the opportunity to get in touch with us, to interact. With links through to a range of blogs, tweeting, films on YouTube, social media and more, we're creating each section of the site as an information portal, and customers are invited to share their news and views. We'll be uploading more of your amazing diving photos, more of diary room entries from exhibitions and industry news which we know will be of interest and relevance to our customers."
