Linear Position Sensors: Theory and Applilcation

• Sensor technology is an increasingly important area of research
• This will be the only book entirely devoted to the topic

Nyce, a director of technology in a private sector company, explains the theory behind the various technologies used in sensor technology and illustrates how they are implemented in practice. Coverage encompasses sensor specification, design, and application criteria, resistive and capacitive sensors, magnetoresistive and magnetorestrictive sensors, linear encoders, LVDT sensors, and Hall effect sensors. The book will help engineers and students of engineering to determine the optimum technology to use for a particular need and how to apply it. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
