The focus is firmly on understanding the technologies and their different applications, not a mathematical approach. The result is a highly readable text which provides a unique introduction to the selection and application of sensors, transducers and switches, and a grounding in the practicalities of designing with these devices.The devices covered encompass heat, light and motion, environmental sensing, sensing in industrial control, and signal-carrying and non-s 606 $aTransducers 606 $aDetectors 615 0$aTransducers. 615 0$aDetectors. 676 $a681.2 700 $aSinclair$b Ian Robertson$028379 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006646203321 996 $aSensors and transducers$9328615 997 $aUNINA
