Here's a touch sensor. Just touch the bare wires on the lower right part of the board and the LED lights!

Sensors are able to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, sound, light, magnetism, acceleration and various chemical properties in their vicinity. This installation illustrates how quickly and efficiently such sensors work.

Self explanatory. Showing that if the camera allows it one can almost fill the entire 4x5" film surface with shots taken with the GFX and then stitch them to a panorama. Something like what happens with the Gigapixel Gigapans.
Here's some before and after shots of my project to clean my sensor. As you can see in the before, it was a flippin' mess. In the after (though dark, sorry dreary day) you can see the lack of dust.
I used a Giottos Rocket Blower, 3 #2 Sensor Swabs and Eclipse liquid from Photographic Solutions, Inc., and the Sensor Brush from Visible Dust.
BTW, #2 sensor swabs don't actually come into contact with the XT's sensor unless you use them vertically. The Sensor Brush does a great job, but you really gotta get it charged up with static. They should make one with fuzzy slippers and carpet.
Balluff's new liquid-based inclination sensors measure the deviation on a horizontal axis of up to 360°. With an extremely high accuracy of 0.1°C, a resolution of 0.01° and a temperature drift of just 0.01% /10K, they are the ideal choice for solar -thermal power plant and renewable energy applications that require angle measurement or constant rotary monitoring.
BSI inclination sensors feature a robust metal housing with an IP 67 enclosure rating that is easily installed into systems with limited space due to their compact housing size. With an expanded temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C, they are ideal for outdoor applications.
The sensor is held in with a black plastic circlip. I'd read somewhere to use a cable tie to pull it out and to avoid losing it in the depths of the engine. In the end mine was quite solid and took quite an attack with a screw driver to get it out and as i'd bought a new one I probably wouldn't have minded if I'd dropped it.
Next I took the electrical connector off which had the usual squeezy bit at the top that clicks over to hold the connector in.
I'm not exactly sure what kind of sensor this is, but it is some kind of microphone or vibration sensor used as feedback to the control board. If the piston starts hitting the ends of it's travel, this sensor picks that up and the power is backed off.

Uh oh - time to get the blower out, I think. These dust spots aren't causing too much of a problem yet,you can't really see them on normal photos, but it's probably time to give it a bit of a clean.
How to see how dirty your camera's sensor is:
1. Take a photo of a clear sky or other blank subject at f22.
2. Open the picture up Photoshop and run Auto-levels
Et voila, you can see just how dirty your sensor has got.

Ha, wow i'm up WAYYYYYY to late at night, misspelled "a while" well there it is. Not important enough to fix. LOL
Had my curtain repaired by Nikon, and they scratched the Sensor! Had it back for 3 months, just wrote it off as welded dust, but got frustrated and looked at it with a loupe and it is a SCRATCH! Having no way of proving this, I am probably going to have to pay Nikon to fix thier mistake.
*Note, I use a rocketblower for most of my dust issues, and Sensor Swabs, with Eclipse for the tough stuff. Spare me messages saying I did this, no one swipes the swab UP on the sensor.*
The green thing is a proximity sensor that you'll see on most any thrill ride and in many other applications. A proximity sensor can detect a metal target in their sensing field (usually an inch away or so) using induction. They help the controller know where trains are located, what position the loading gates are in, if the brakes are open or closed, and other operational aspects of a ride.

Agfa Optima Sensor Flash with Fungus on the Lens.So if you want dreamy effects on your camera,just leave it some years in your basement.Found the camera on a local fleamarket for 2 euros.
Need dirtying up as these are some of the first Tau I painted and the original paint scheme is just too shiny...
The MCA Cat III Workboat, owned by Aspect Land & Hydrographic Surveys Ltd, of Ayrshire.
The 'Marine Sensor' is road towable, and with a small forward cabin, can deploy from a slipway or boat hoist / crane and able to operate a wide variety of sensors.
Her hulls and catamaran configuration lend a fast transit speed and give good directional stability resulting in high quality survey data.

The guy at this table seemed annoyed at my being the "4th person" to ask if these were bend sensors. Can you blame me? Anyway, these were very cool. I could press the tip, of either of the left 2 sensors there (which were made of a very thin layer of something I didn't ask about) and watch the red and blue graph lines raise and lower on the monitor to the left of this image. I pressed smoothly and alternately harder and softer with both fingers and made the graphs dance in offset sine waves. It had a very fine resolution (seemingly far greater than 8-bit), no shivering or jumping, and according to Mr. Angsty, were quite durable, having been tested into the millions of presses, with only a very slight decrease in effectiveness, which is easily recalibrated for. They also had a chair loaded up with these things, through which were we treated to a rainbow display of one guy's buttocks pressures, akin to those seen in this buttocks pressures mapping, from the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. workstation. Oddly, the medical field is their biggest market, where they're used, for example, to test for things like blockages in implants.
