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.
To get a sense of what sensors are and what they can do, I spoke with Melanie Martella, executive editor of New Hampshire-based Sensors magazine.
The cars use a combination of technologies, including radar sensors on the front, video cameras aimed at the surrounding area, various other sensors and artificial-intelligence software that helps steer.
Fujifilm's advanced X-Trans CMOS sensor is capable of delivering resolution that is superior to other APS-C sensors, and equal to even some full frame sensors found in popular DSLR cameras.

D.s, are now at work on a contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to develop sensors for airport terminals as well as sensors that can detect a broader range of explosives.
The project aims to provide users with a bevy of end-devices -- automatic door locks, thermostats, humidity sensors, presence sensors, power outlet switches and more -- that connect to a router-like SmartThings hub.
Data are also streaming in from other sources: remote sensors operating as fixed sentries, sensors on ground vehicles and sensors on the equipment that soldiers carry around with them (some have cameras on their helmets).
"Our biggest challenges were developing an algorithm which optimally combines the data from GPS and the other sensors, and overcoming the issues of using such low-cost sensors in a system without any absolute location reference, " said Smithson.

Eventually, fewer and cheaper sensors should do the trick, but Google and other researchers are still working out how to combine readings from multiple sensors, and determining which sensors work best in conditions such as night driving or heavy rain.
In addition to the higher pixel numbers, superior image quality and faster speeds which conventional image sensors pursued, the newly-developed image sensors further achieve more highly-advanced functionalities and a more compact size, thus paving the way for enhanced camera evolution.

Ford's prototype system aims to lessen distraction by taking readouts from biometric sensors and combining the data with information from the car, including speed, steering-wheel angle, and data from radar sensors or cameras used in blind-spot obstacle detection or cruise control.
WSJ: Designing a Car That Takes Your Pulse, Senses If You're Ill
John Kestner and David Carr created Twine, a 2.5 inch-square device with on-board temperature and vibration sensors, as well as an expansion connector for other sensors, such as moisture sensors and magnetic switches, all tightly integrated through WiFi with a cloud-based service.
The attack built by Giannetsos and his colleagues has a wider target than the power grid: any system that uses sensor mesh networks, from buildings that use the sensors to monitor for weaknesses in their architecture to sensors distributed in forests to detect wildfires.
FORBES: Researcher Throws A Wrench In IBM And HP's Sensor Networks
Like most prototypes, the the SWAN (System for Wearable Audio Navigation) is pretty bulky in its current form, with a laptop, GPS, inertial sensors, pedometer, RFID tags, RF sensors, a compass, and other gear all stuffed into a backpack, although they're apparently already working on a smaller version.
About 93 percent of 3, 040 large U.S. hospitals used one or more day lighting or lighting conservation features, including tinted window glass (80 percent), reflective window glass (39 percent), external overhangs or awnings (47 percent), skylights or atriums designed to provide light (57 percent), automatic controls or sensors that increase or reduce lighting in response to the level of natural light (14 percent), and occupancy sensors that reduce lighting when rooms are unoccupied (46 percent).
