Sensor Technology Fundamentals Program at Spring 2003 Sensors Expo & Conference Geared for Seasoned Engineers; Ed Ramsden's Hands-on Lab Demonstrates Transducer Interfacing.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Sensors Expo 2003 PETERBOROUGH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2003 The conference program at this Spring's Sensors Expo & Conference features nine workshops and a hands-on lab to introduce seasoned engineers and scientists to select areas of sensor technology. The event takes place June 2 - 5, 2003 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is a convention center for Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Built in 1975, the center has exhibition space of 840,000 sq ft (0 m). , Rosemont, IL. Monday, June 2 is dedicated to all day workshops. Topics include Adding Wired & Wireless Networking See wireless network. Capability into Products, taught by John Rinaldi, Real-Time Automation; Digital Data Acquisition and Analysis taught by Strether Smith, DSPcon; and RF MEMS: Technology and Applications, team taught by Veljko Milanovic, Adriatic Research Institute and Darrin Young, Case Western Reserve. On Tuesday, June 3, Ed Ramsden, author of Hall Effect Sensors, is directing a hands-on workshop - limited to 20 participants - following his "Introduction to Transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output. Interfacing" workshop. Each participant receives a lab kit with the materials needed to complete a series of lab exercises that demonstrate interfaces to several types of basic sensors. "Lab participants have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they picked up in the morning session, and get to see how some of the sensors described behave in reality," said Mr. Ramsden. "They also get to take the lab kits and lab manuals with them to review when they return to their own labs."
