Most RTD elements consist of a length of fine coiled wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core. The element is typically relatively fragile‚ so it is generally

will constantly monitor the natural environmental conditions in the greenhouse to ensure that the plant will achieve the maximum plant growth. There are two sensors‚ which operate in the real-time‚ that will be used - temperature sensor and a humidity sensor to monitor the conditions. The microcontroller will compare the output of the sensors with the preset values and actuate the environmental device respectively. PROBLEM STATEMENT * The inconvenient traditional greenhouse structure – use

importance of calibrating a sensor. In most cases‚ a sensor will not have an output that is exactly what you need. An example of this is a strain gage. A stain gage gives back a voltage‚ but with that given voltage a distance can be found. Introduction: In this experiment‚ the QNET-MECHKIT was used. This board has multiple compact sensors that can be used for experiments. For this lab we will be using the strain gage to find the deflection of a bar‚ a piezo sensor to find to find the natural

Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION BLOCK DIAGRAM OF IR CAMERA Si/Ge optical lense IR DETECTOR IMAGE PROCESSI -NG Display CRT/ LCD As given in above block diagram‚ general IR cameras use Si/Ge optical lense to capture images‚ which are further sent to IR detector. Image processing is important and needed after an IR image is captured. This is done through kit such as FPGA( feed programmable gate array) board or any other such board. As we know body emits different type of radiations

innovative prototype design of electric fan with smart characteristics. This electric fan uses a microcontroller to produce an automation function. It also has a unique double feature designs‚ such as using 2 fans‚ 2 Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and 2 sensors. This is to ensure the cooling process operates more efficiently and effectively‚ especially for a large space application and in hot weather due to global warming. By applying the circuit‚ it offers a better life for human. It is really practical
