Currently, there is a lot of effort going into improving preventative maintenance on costly machines to increase their lifetime. A big part of this effort is making sensor systems that perform well in these areas, which are typically hot, greasy, and all around brutal on electromechanical systems. This new type of MEMS temperature sensor was […]
