The introduction of run-flat tires and emergency spare tires by several tire and vehicle manufacturers has provided motivation to make at least some basic TPMS mandatory when using run-flat tires. With run-flat tires, the driver will most likely not notice that a tire is running flat, hence the so-called "run-flat warning systems" were introduced.
Direct TPMS, or direct tire pressure monitoring systems (direct sensor TPMS) refers to the use of a pressure sensor directly mounted on the wheels or tires of a vehicle. [1] The pressure inside the tire is measured using a pressure transducer with the pressure information being subsequently sent to the vehicle to warn the driver of under or ...

Among other applications, acceleration sensors are used to: Measure accelerations in motor vehicles, for example during the reconstruction of road accidents. Monitor machinery used on production lines that is sensitive to shocks or vibrations. Monitor and reduce wear in industrial plants and for increasing the performance of machines.
Wireless sensor networks have been developed for machinery condition-based maintenance (CBM) as they offer significant cost savings and enable new functionality. [19] Wireless sensors can be placed in locations difficult or impossible to reach with a wired system, such as rotating machinery and untethered vehicles.
To achieve this the ships install double elastic suspensions and high deflection mounts are installed between the unit and base frame. Beforehand, the engineers calculate the torsional vibrations or the 6/12 degree of freedom to guarantee the optimum combination of couplings and mounts.
In September 2013, Variable Inc. announced the release of an Android-compatible NODE+ wireless sensor platform. [16] The device had been only iOS compatible. NODE+CO 2 , a carbon dioxide sensing module, one of six different gas sensors in the OXA sensor family, raised $26,046 on Kickstarter, $1,046 over its goal on December 31, 2013.
A sensor node, also known as a mote (chiefly in North America), is a node in a sensor network that is capable of performing some processing [1], gathering sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes in the network. A mote is a node but a node is not always a mote.
