  2. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    In electrical engineering, current sensing is any one of several techniques used to measure electric current. The measurement of current ranges from picoamps to tens of thousands of amperes. The selection of a current sensing method depends on requirements such as magnitude, accuracy, bandwidth, robustness, cost, isolation or size. The current ...

  3. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  4. Current transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_transformer

    A current transformer presents a negligible load to the primary circuit. [1] Current transformers are the current-sensing units of the power system and are used at generating stations, electrical substations, and in industrial and commercial electric power distribution.

  5. Current sense amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sense_amplifier

    They utilize a "current-sense resistor" to convert the load current in the power rail to a small voltage, which is then amplified by the current-sense amplifiers. The currents in the power rail can be in the range of 1 A to 20 A, requiring the current-sense resistor to be a resistor typically in the range of 1 to 100 mΩ.

  6. Tunable resistive pulse sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Tunable_resistive_pulse_sensing

    A polydisperse particle sample passing through the tunable nanopore. The size of the aperture is altered by increasing or decreasing the stretch placed upon the nanopore. Particles crossing a nanopore are detected one at a time as a transient change in the ionic current flow, which is denoted as a blockade event with its amplitude denoted as ...

  7. Fiber-optic current sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_current_sensor

    A fiber-optic current sensor (FOCS) is a device designed to measure direct current. Utilizing a single-ended optical fiber wrapped around the current conductor, [1] FOCS exploits the magneto-optic effect (Faraday effect). [2] The FOCS can measure uni- or bi-directional DC currents up to 600 kA, with an accuracy within ±0.1% of the measured value.

  8. Vision chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_chip

    A vision chip is an integrated circuit having both image sensing circuitry and image processing circuitry on the same die.The image sensing circuitry may be implemented using charge-coupled devices, active pixel sensor circuits, or any other light sensing mechanism.

  9. Wave radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_radar

    Marine navigation radar based wave sensors are excellent tools for wave direction measurements. A marine navigation radar may also be a tool for surface current measurements. Point measurements of the current vector as well as current maps up to a distance of a few km can be provided (Gangeskar, 2002). Miros WAVEX has its main area of ...
