3Color temperature — The CIE 1931 x,y chromaticity space, also showing the chromaticities of black body light sources of various temperatures (Planckian locus), and lines of constant correlated color temperature. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light …
4Heat flux sensor — A heat flux sensor is a commonly used name for a transducer generating a signal that is proportional to the local heat flux. This heat flux can have different origins; in principle convective , radiative as well as conductive heat can be measured …
5Passive infrared sensor — A Passive InfraRed sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic device that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. PIR sensors are often used in the construction of PIR based motion detectors (see below). Apparent… …
6Level sensor — Level sensors are used to detect liquid level. The liquid to be measured can be inside a container or can be in its natural form (e.g. a river or a lake). The level measurement can be either continuous or point values. Continuous level sensors… …
7Nitrogen oxide sensor — A nitrogen oxide sensor or NOx sensor is typically a high temperature device built to detect nitrogen oxides in combustion environments such as an automobile or truck tailpipe or a smokestack. Contents 1 Availability 2 Motivating factors 3… …
8Piezoelectric sensor — A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure pressure, acceleration, strain or force by converting them to an electrical signal.ApplicationsPiezoelectric sensors have proven to be versatile tools for the… …
9Special Sensor Microwave/Imager — The Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) is a seven channel, four frequency, linearly polarized passive microwave radiometric system. The instrument measures surface/atmospheric microwave brightness temperatures (TBs) at 19.35, 22.235, 37.0… …
10Total air temperature — is a term used generally in aviation. In other applications it is called stagnation temperature. Total air temperature is measured by a specially designed temperature probe mounted on the surface of the aircraft. The probe is designed to bring… …
