For Episode 32, we were joined by Mazen Jamal for an in-depth discussion on the business case for indoor air quality (IAQ).

A whole body of scientific research now shows that CO2 levels impact cognitive function. Yet, IAQ often seems like an afterthought for smart building technology projects. 

Is it just reality that IAQ is lower in the technology “pecking order” than energy management, occupancy analytics, artificial intelligence, fire detection, etc, and therefore doesn't get the same investment?

#32 The Simple Business Case for Indoor Air Quality!

while soil moisture sensors are not suitable for grain moisture measurement, investing in proper equipment like grain bin moisture sensors is essential for maintaining grain quality. For more Visit: https://binfancontrol.com

Will A Soil Moisture Sensor Work For Grain Moisture

A soft condensed matter sensor (SCMS) designed to measure strains on the human body is presented. The hybrid material based on carbon black (CB) and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) was bonded to a textile elastic band and used as a sensor on the human wrist to measure hand motion by detecting the movement of tendons in the wrist. Additionally it was able to track the blood pulse wave of a person, allowing for the determination of pulse wave peaks corresponding to the systole and diastole blood pressures in order to calculate the heart rate. Sensor characterization was done using mechanical cycle testing, and the band sensor achieved a gauge factor of 4–6.3 while displaying low signal relaxation when held at a strain levels. Near-linear signal performance was displayed when loading to successively higher strain levels up to 50% strain.

SENSORS

Los Sistemas Microelectromecánicos (MEMS, por sus siglas en inglés) representan una tecnología avanzada que integra componentes mecánicos y eléctricos en una escala microscópica, con dimensiones que típicamente oscilan entre unos pocos micrómetros y un milímetro. Esta miniaturización permite la creación de dispositivos que son capaces de detectar y medir una amplia gama de fenómenos físicos, como presión, temperatura, aceleración y vibración, transformando estas magnitudes en señales eléctricas que pueden ser procesadas e interpretadas por sistemas electrónicos. La capacidad de los MEMS para operar en esta microescala les confiere propiedades únicas y los posiciona en la vanguardia de los avances tecnológicos modernos.
