This issue of Sensor Technology Opportunity Engine covers innovations in pressure sensors, optical sensors, image sensors, gas sensors, wearable sensors, food sensors, and force sensors. Some of the key advancements profiled include solar-powered remote image sensing, throat worn sensors for COVID-19 detection, high accuracy energy analyzers, air pressure sensing microswitch, sensors for COVID-19 detection through breath, gas sensing for environmental monitoring, and lab-on-a-chip among others.
Sensor Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) captures global sensor-related innovations and developments on a monthly basis. Innovations are directed toward developing smart and intelligent sensors with functionalities beyond sensing. Research focus areas include: low power sensors (energy harvesting), industrial automation sensors (M2M, vision sensor), ubiquitous sensor (WSN, sensor fusion), smart sensors (wearables, quantified self), high sensitivity and smaller size (MEMS, nanosensors), and improved security (CBRNE, terahertz). The need for low power, smaller, lighter sensors with enhanced performance attributes and minimal false alarms is driving innovations in the sensors space.
The Sensors and Instrumentation cluster covers innovations pertaining to technologies such as wireless sensors and networks, energy harvesting, haptics and touch, MEMS and nanosensors, Terahertz, ubiquitous/smart sensors, CBRNE, quantified-self, sensor fusion, M2M communications, and drones.
