S3C and Nagano Keiki Launch Industry's First ZigBee(TM) Certified Pressure Sensor.Wireless Network Pressure Sensor A pressure sensor measures the pressure, typically of gases or fluids. Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a gas or fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor generates a signal related to the pressure imposed. Based on Texas Instruments' ZigBee Platform TOKYO -- S3C (www.s3cinc.com) and Nagano Keiki (www.naganokeiki.co.jp) today announced the industry's first ZigBee[TM] Certified Product (ZCP ZCP Zero Cross Point ZCP zone of chondrocyte proliferation ZCP Zdech Ci Ptak (Polish punk band) ) wireless network pressure sensor. The GC63-Wireless, based on Texas Instruments' CC2420 ZigBee platform (www.ti.com/zigbee), integrates a silicon capacitive sensor with leading-edge wireless technology to deliver a fully operational, complete turnkey solution. A ZCP device is based on a ZigBee-compliant platform and the certification guarantees that it will co-exist within any network that complies with the ZigBee Alliance Specification. "We are excited to be collaborating with Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. on this cutting edge technology development", said Manher Naik, Chief Executive Officer of S3C, Inc. "The emergence of wireless sensor networks “WSN” redirects here. For the metasyntax, see Wirth syntax notation. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as in the industrial market will enable better performance and control of existing systems, provide a dramatic reduction in installation costs and propel the growth of new sensor applications. The integration of S3C's wireless modules with Nagano Keiki's world-renowned sensors provides a reliable and scaleable solution for wireless applications requiring robust transmission and low power for building automation, process control and energy management." "We strongly believe that ZigBee certification of our new pressure sensor will be regarded as added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
Delivering superior range in excess of 150m at 0dBm output power, the GC63-Wireless can operate for 2 - 5 years on two AA cell batteries depending on sampling rate and transmission interval. The sensor can easily be configured as a line-powered router device or a battery-operated end device, which makes the system easy to set up and extend. The network comes complete with a gateway interface to a standard ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. database to allow scalability to hundreds of nodes and centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). . "The GC63-Wireless pressure sensor is one of the first ZigBee Certified Products available on the market. This development illustrates the strong technological capabilities of S3C and Nagano Keiki, and demonstrates the need for standardization within the industrial market," said Geir F[cedilla ce·dil·la n.
