The Ulefone Armor 19T also provides high-end features including 810H protection, 108-megapixel photography, and 66W fast charging. It incorporates the high-resolution Lepton 3.5 thermal sensor and industry- leading MyFLIR® application compatible with Teledyne FLIR’s advanced ecosystem.
Blackview is previewing an upcoming handset with a new automatic providing greater object details at farther distances. It will also feature the new, streamlined MyFLIR Lite thermal camera application empowering users that are new to thermal to easily explore and leverage the power of seeing infrared energy.
“As the Thermal by FLIR program continues to expand, Teledyne FLIR is functionality and design, offering half a century of thermal engineering expertise to help extract even more value from the highest-volume selling thermal camera of all time, the Lepton,” said Mike Walters, vice president, uncooled thermal imaging camera cores, Teledyne FLIR. “Teledyne FLIR is helping to create new and innovative thermal-centric products that match impressive functionality with cost-conscious customers, all the while helping get them to market faster.” Beyond mobile phones, Lepton is making its way into smart building environments and wearables. The Teledyne FLIR MWC booth will also showcase the Edge Sensor SA building occupancy sensor. By using the reliable and cost-effective Lepton to track building occupancy, building managers can view and manage the 1/2 building capacity in real-time without compromising individual privacy, assist with asset and operational costs.
Non-contact torque sensors offer accurate measurement down to 200mNm (0.2Nm)
The new TorqSense SGR 510/520 torque sensors cover capacities from 0.2Nm to 1Nm, making the full range 0.2Nm to 13,000Nm. The bigger units in the SGR family are designed for use in machine tools, production and processing plant, heavy duty pumps and similar large scale installations. Based on a full four-element strain gauge bridge design, the SGR sensors have the ability to accurately measure and record sudden spikes in torque load. This ability is becoming increasingly important in automated machinery, integrated systems, test rigs and continuously monitored plant.
“Torque spikes can have an immediate effect on operations, or may indicate the beginnings of a problem,” explains Mark Ingham, Sensor Technology’s Sales Director. “The SGRs are designed to accurately record all torque data from any type of system, big or small, simple or complex, yet be robust enough for use in virtually any environment.” The TorqSense SGR measures the torque 4000 time per second and uses high performance signal conditioning to provide a corruption-free,

high bandwidth torque monitoring solution. This is further enhanced by 250% overrange and 400% overload capabilities, elimination of side and end load errors and real time temperature compensation. The non-contact signal transmission means the sensor exerts no load on the shaft it is monitoring, while maintenance-heavy slip rings have been designed out.
Three analog output channels on the 511 mean the SGR can measure real-time speed and power alongside the torque monitoring. A third output is dedicated to self-diagnostics and/or status functions. An digital outputs for interfacing with state of the art instrumentation and laptops. Options include RS232, CANbus and USB. A digital input is provided so that the 520/521 can be set up directly from a PC running
“Using the USB output, it is possible to connect upto 10 SGR 520/521s into one fully integrated system,” comments Mark, “allowing even the most complex installations to be comprehensively monitored from a single workstation.
“Torque measurement is playing an increasingly important role in modern plant and machinery monitoring and control, enabling steady drivers in the advance towards tomorrow’s technology.”
