Hi Tom, Two thoughts: 1. Can you dope the alcohol and or water with something that you can detect? For example, you can dope the alcohol with a fluorescent...
All good suggestions, Nick; thanks. - The application would not permit doping the water - too much of it - but adding a tag to the alcohol might be feasible....

On a more serious note, perhaps vaporizing a sample isn't such a bad idea. Using a non-contact IR thermometer, you could shoot a medium powered laser at the...
... temperature as it evaporates, and another rise as the water heats up. Great idea! It might be practical, too. Focusing an IR laser to a tight spot is...
Hello to everyone. I am an engineering student from the philippines. Me and my thesis mates are currently working on building a GPS/INS navigating system for...

I need to do a report on automotive exhaust ceramic gas sensors for my electronic ceramics class. I was thinking of focusing on "wideband" O2 sensors such as...
... If your topic is automotive navigation - then an IMU is not the approach you want to take. If your topic is an IMU in some application such as automotive,...

Post the IMUs that you've found and we'll provide critique. There's a strong dependence between the stability of the IMU and its price. How much would you be...
we have ADIS16350 or ADIS16355... but i'm in doubt cause of it's size (so small) compared to other IMU's.. we're asking ANALOG devices if we need other stuff...
Hello, I have a project with a GPS connected to a Rabbit RCM3100. But when I look the data coming from the GPS the distance from 2 positions go from a few feet...

Thanks for this input, I will into the DOP stuff, I know I have it, but never think I will need it. As for the position of the antenna, if the receiver is not...
Arno, Multipath can potentially cause such large jumps in GPS position. If you are doing your position fixes near a large building, try to move your antenna...
I work with GPS systems... so FYI: Indoors, expect high errors due to poor GDOP and multipath. Outdoors, need clear view of much of the sky to avoid high GDOP ...

Here is a pretty comprehensive listing of INUs/IMUs. I don't know how often it is updated, and with 2008 just around the corner, I wouldn't place a lot of...
Hi, After all, I'm don't have strong background in electronic. But I love electronic stuff and had several hobby kit projects. Recently, I'm just thinking to...
The difference between the positive and negative output voltages (pins 2 and 4) is a linear function of the force. So, you need to convert this differential...
