Description Capacitive rod used to measure the liquid level (fuel) which act as dielectric between the two capacitive plates. (Ref.: www.discovercircuits.com/S/s-capacitance.htm) Capacitive proximity switch application is as a liquid level control in a bin or hopper. (Ref:www.www.globetron.com/capproxsw.html) Differential pressure switches utilize a differential air pressure to actuate an electric switch at a particular actuation point. (Ref:www.iqsdirectory.com/differential-pressure-switch) Is used to determine shear stains in matrix resin specimens of circular cross section, which are subjected to torsion. (Ref:http://composite.about.com/library/glossary/r/bldef-r4630.htm)

The emitter pulses the signal such that the frequency of the vibration can be determined. (Ref.:www.freepatentsonline.com/6223602.html) Page 6

Sheet1 Is a device used to sense the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may actuate a pump, an indicator, an alarm, or other device. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch) Is a sensor that detect different metal object,used to provide no-touch detection (Ref; www.bourns.com/pdfs/T0756_3312_inductive_prox_switch_appnote.pdf)

Is a variable resistor whose value decreases with increasing incident light intensity. (Ref: http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/Light-dependent_resistor_(LDR))

Linear variable differential is used for measuring linear displacement. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_variable_differential_transformer)

Used strain gage to change resistance when it is stressed. (Ref.:www.measurespec.com/tips/principles.htm)

Sheet1 Is used to detect objects by reflected infrared light. (Ref:http://www.electronics-circuits.com/cirdir/theory/tutors/doc00008.html)

Is a device that converts motion into a sequence of digital pulses. (Ref:http://mechatronics.mech.northwestern.edu/design_ref/sensors/encoders.html)

Controls electric lights in response to available light levels. (Ref:http://www.blueegg.com/Green-Glossary/Photocell.html) A photodiode is a type of photodetector capable of converting light into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. (Ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode) A phototransistor amplifies variations in the light striking it. (Ref:http://encyclobeamia.solarbotics.net/articles/phototransistor.html)

Pressure induced strain increase the value of the radial resistor and decrease the value of the resistor transverse to the radius. (Ref.:www.sensorland.com/HowPage004.html)

Is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. (Ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_switch)

Sheet1 Used as the feedback element for motion control. (Ref: http://archives.sensorsmag.com/articles/1199/38_1199/index.htm)

A strain gage is a device that changes resistance when it is stressed. (Ref.:www.measurespec.com/tips/principles.htm) It senses the rotary position of a metallic activator mounted away from the face of the sensor. (Ref:http://www.gillsensors.co.uk/content/rotary.htm) Measuring the flow of liquids by measuring the liquid's velocity or the change in kinetic energy. (Ref:http://www.omega.com/techref/flowcontrol.html) The semiconductor strain gauge based on piezoresistive effect to measure the strain of an object. (Ref: http://bcmsensor.com/strain-gauges/semiconductor.htm) Temperature-dependent semiconductor resistor operating according to the currentspreading principle includes a semiconductor body of one conductivity type of silicon. (Ref.:www.freepatentsonline.com/4670731.html) They convert a rotational speed into an isolated analog voltage signal that is suitable for remote indication and control applications.

Sheet1 Electrical resistance decreases with increasing temperature. This resistance is processed by an electronic circuit to provide temperature measurement. (Ref.:www.thermodisc.com/productdetail.asp?ProductID=95) They are based on the Seebeck effect that occurs in electrical conductors that experience a temperature gradient along their length. (Ref.:www.temperatures.com/tcs.html) It measure the angular speed of a rotating shaft produces a pulse when it is struck by light. (Ref:http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/ph/p/id/265) Is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled electrical conductors..
