J. maker of electronic sensors, scales and tire gauges appeared to be doing everything right.
Today, they've been supplanted even further by digital compasses that use electronic sensors and devices that take readings from Global Positioning System satellites.
Drivers register for the test using a smart card and have to negotiate their way around a paved driving track fitted with electronic sensors.
Using the Sokka unit basically involves kicking a ball against a flat playing surface containing a number of electronic sensors that monitor accuracy and technique.
Audis, for example, according to an Audi technician in Los Angeles, have electronic sensors on their brakes, so replacing their brake pads is more complicated and takes more time.
In 2000 a company called Advalytix was spun out of his research (which, through a series of acquisitions, ended up as part of Danaher, a big maker of electronic sensors).
All of the middle seven features are almost exclusively electronic, using radar for crash avoidance, electronic sensors for tire filling and the hands-free liftgate, and conventional phone handset electronics for most of the other features.
For Yo-Yo Ma's hypercello, Machover placed sensors on the instrument, the performer's wrist and his bow and fed the electronic impulses generated by those sensors into a computer.
It is already possible to power small electronic devices, such as wireless sensors installed in buildings and industrial machinery, using a dedicated microwave transmitter nearby.
The electronic tongue consists of an array of liquid sensors (electrodes coated with conductive polymers) coupled to pattern-recognition technology that can distinguish particular flavors for taste studies.
Now when your chicken is home alone, you can reach out to him (literally) by petting a highly amusing chicken doll whose sensors transmit touch data to an electronic jacket worn by the chicken.
ENGADGET: You got to know your chicken, and you can do it through the web
In a test for the military, Pister dropped eight sensors (with clocks, motion detectors and electronic compasses) from an airplane.
The electronic nose is an array of nano-scale gas sensors--the maximized surface area of the nano-particles allows the most gas to pass over them--along with pattern recognition technology that can create a digital fingerprint (or noseprint, as the case may be) of specific smells.
When a traveller enters an airport with one of these smart cards, sensors read the passenger's card and automatically send a gate number and electronic boarding pass to the passenger's smartphone.
The captain can also call on the assistance of an electronic positioning system that uses a combination of data from satellites, gyrocompasses, and wind and motion sensors to operate the thrusters automatically.
The new technology, called an epidermal electronic system (EES), is based on a new class of micro-electronics that integrates miniature sensors, light-emitting diodes, tiny transmitters and refined wire-filament receivers.
Together, the camera and laser sensors monitor the white lines and, if the car strays out of its lane, an electronic control unit attached to an electric power-steering unit corrects it.
