A signal conditioner that provides clean sensor power supply and output amplification for precision dynamic measurement of pressure and vibration has been introduced by 2205 Measurement Specialties. The new Model 101 three-channel DC differential voltage amplifier features DC to 200kHz bandwidth for fast response. Its discrete channels provide clean sensor power supply (0-12Vdc) and output magnification (0-999 gain) for three sensors simultaneously.

According to Measurement Specialties, the amplifier is designed to work with any piezoresistive bridge-configuration transducer such as accelerometers, vibration and pressure sensors, force sensors and load cells. Applications include automotive crash testing, wind tunnel testing, structural testing for seismic resistance and weighing.

Input signals with magnitudes of ±10Vdc can be zeroed, and a unique DAC routine allows output zero to be trimmed to within ±1mVdc. The microprocessor controlled conditioner features 10Vdc peak linear output and 0.5 per cent FS output accuracy. It provides multi-sensor support, variable gain adjustment, shunt calibration capability and multiple excitation level settings. A wide selection of optional frequency roll-off filters is available.

    Enabled and enforced by innovative use of ITS, Dublin’s new off-road cycle route is proving a hit with commuters, leisure cyclists and walkers alike as Brendan O’Brien explains. Dublin City Council’s vision is to create a city where people of all ages and abilities have the confidence, incentive and facilities to cycle. On-road cycle lanes had already been incorporated into the Quality Bus Corridors design and there is a mix of on- and off-road cycle routes. However, in 2010 the Council began work on a new

    David Crawford looks at technologies for better emergency medical service delivery. Emergency medical services (EMS) play key roles in transporting, or bringing treatment to, patients who become ill through medical emergencies or are injured in road traffic accidents (RTAs). But awareness has been rising steadily, in the US and elsewhere, of the extent to which EMS can generate their own emergencies. The most common cause is vehicles causing or becoming involved in RTAs, as a result of driving fast under pr
