Environmental sensors and related electronics - challenge for future

09/09/2007 3:38 AM

Friends

I am planning for Mission 2010-2020 and these are the challenges ahead. Do you venture out in these limits then come and talk about them here.

Let us get into serious discussion on "Environmental sensors and related electronics - challenge for future"

We need accurate and fast response sensors for sensing environmental problems and this field is ever growing for further development of new sensors.

Take the example of these sensors

Pressure sensor = atmospheric pressure sensor +/-1mbar accuracy 1ms response time

Humidity sensors = +/-1%RH accuracy 1ms response time

Temperature sensor for air = +/-1mC accuracy 1ms response time

Radiation sensors = UV, x-rays, gamma rays, charge particles

Chemical gas sensors = 1ppb to 100ppm level

Particle sensors = nano particle to micro particle sensor

Interfaces

wireless sensor interfaces, signal acquisition and signal processing at high speed

You should not forget them!

Will Sensors Outnumber Insects?
The number and type of sensors in our lives is increasing, whether it's through our increasingly sophisticated cars or the sensors scattered through our environment. While I'm not sure the number of sensors will, in fact, outpace the insect population, one prediction says there will be more than a million sensors per person in the U.K. by 2057. With all that valuable data available, I have one thing to say to you—Here Be Dragons.

Dear Mukulmahant

We are actually learning from insects as their primitive sensors are real fantastic. We can not beat bats in ultrasonic sensing or their acrobatics diving methods, we can not come close to the sensors in mosquitoes, IR sensors in most of the reptiles and insects.

Perhaps we will rely on more internal nano-sensors in very large numbers. We already have lots of them on our body and they may increase naturally or may be added by biological health care people.

I think, we may also add sensors to raise alarm about the thought process of a person and all this may be just a one time injection of nano-chips.

Sensors in biological chemical forms are more like to come up rather than in silicon chip form. You can call them synthetic harmonies or synthetic glands.

What I am surprized here is that no one talks about sensors on CR4. Is it a very dull topic or not worth talking about? I will love some ideas here.
