Sensor Systems

US Federal Agencies, Universities, and Non-profit Organizations, Are Working Together to Deal with Nutrient Pollution, One of the Most Difficult Environmental Challenges, They Have Announced the Launch of the Nutrient Sensor Challenge to Help Accelerate the Development of Sensors that Can Be Deployed in the Environment to Measure Nutrients in Waterways 

Belkin calls it "Echo technology," is designed to read your water and power consumption -- stick one sensor under your kitchen sink and another in your home's circuit breaker, and you'll be able to track both utilities right in the WeMo app

Echo technology is designed to read the "signatures" of everything in your home that uses water or power. That means it's capable of telling when you're running the shower versus running the dishwasher, and capable of distinguishing between all of your electronics, device for device.

NIT Raipur, Has Developed "Gabby Tree" a Device that Makes the Plants and Tree Speak by Tweeting to Ask for Succour if They Find Themselves in Hostile Environment Such as High Humid and Hot Conditions and Threat from Fire

Adity Om, third year student of National Institute of Technology (NIT), Raipur, has developed the device that makes the plants and tree speak by tweeting to ask for succour if they find themselves in hostile environment such as high humid and hot conditions and threat from fire.

University of Twente Doctoral Candidate Has Developed an Online Sensor Which Can Be Used to Check the Quality of the Water in a Water Purification Plant More Accurately and More Cheaply

Smart Sensors Warn Instantly of Citywide Water Leaks

IN MAY, a water main sprung a leak under downtown Singapore. In a dense island city with scarce water resources, an undetected leak could have been a disaster, damaging underground infrastructure like subways and sewers, possibly even eating its way up to street level before anyone noticed.

Lincoln Agritech's Launches New Electromagnetic Soil Moisture Sensor Called Smarter Irrigation Which Measures Soil Moisture from Above the Grass Surface

Microwave sensors measuring ground moisture with pinpoint accuracy will link to alter the flows of sprinkler heads on centre pivots to reduce nitrogen run-off in technology developed by a Lincoln University company.

The Sensors Will Be Deployed at Six High-traffic Areas First, Including Orchard Road and Little India

As part of the first phase of Singapore's Smart Nation Platform (SNP) rollout, 1,000 sensors will be implemented in six areas across the island to monitor things such as air and water quality and public safety. It is a scheme that aims to provide better connectivity, facilitate the sharing of data among Government agencies and, eventually, allow Singaporeans to better anticipate

Close-up Look at the Microwave Radar Water Level Sensor—a Revolutionary Step Forward in How NOAA Measures Water Levels Around the Nation

Every few months, a couple people from the Field Operations Divison of NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services—that's CO-OPS for short—drive an hour and a half from their lab in Chesapeake, Virginia, to pay a visit to this really long pier in Duck, North Carolina.

Rwanda Wireless Sensor Network Controls Water Flow for Sectored, Sprinkler or Drip Section Irrigation

Gishari Integrated Polytechnic Regional School (IPRC) has started an SMS-controlled Wireless Irrigation System programme aimed at improving irrigation in the country.

The wireless sensor network controls water flow for sectored, sprinkler or drip section irrigation.
