Thread the blue seal onto the wire, then the wire is crimped onto the pin tabs, two on either side (yellow arrow). I used a small pair of pliers to crimp, no special tool.
The large tabs on the pin are supposed to be crimped around the blue seal, to hold it in place. I didn't do this, as it makes soldering the wire onto the pin impossible. I just left the blue seal floating on the wire.
After crimping, carefully solder the wire onto the pin, with a minimum of solder. Use a tiny amount of solder, and be careful not to get any on the pin or pin body. Otherwise it will interfere with getting the pin into the connector.
Thin, low temp solder and a heat sink are helpful.
This is a new textile sensor to measure water / wetness. It is 100% compatible with the Arduino platform. It detects water by changing its resistance from open circuit to a few megaohms.
A ratcheting crimping tool is is markedly better than the cheaper, non-leveraged crimping pliers.
This tool is used for the crimped connectors on either side of the diode, where I used insulated quick disconnect connectors. Quick disconnects allow you to change diodes easily to get different results.
The Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor (APS) is designed to study aerosols by observing how light behaves when scattered by the aerosol particles.

RE_BEAM ROBOTS: Taller de construcción de robots
01.03.2014 12:00h - 16:30h
Lugar: Lab (1º planta / 1st Floor)
Taller de iniciación para la construcción de robots capaces de seguir la luz, utilizando en lo posible materiales reciclados (motores y sensores de viejos juguetes, aparatos, etc.) a partir de conceptos que electrónica analógica.
Sensor in original position was reading approx 5 degrees higher than ambient. Re-positioning resulted in correct temperature readings.

This is a full-sized crop of one side of the Wii "sensor bar" from the last picture, which you should go look at first. What's neat about this is that those lights are completely invisible to the naked eye, because they're infrared, but the CCDs on my digital camera pick it up somehow. Just another reminder that cameras and eyes actually work differently. :)
It's pretty annoying when you spend a load of cash on a new toy and the manufacturer hasn't ironed out all the kinks! It seems the mirror of my Nikon D600 is spraying lubricant on the sensor, as the spots visible here are not dust and have increased in number over time.
This shot is completely untouched other than being converted from RAW to JPEG. It is a worst case scenario shot, blue sky at f22, taken to illustrate the extent of the problem.
I took the camera to the shop today, they wouldn't replace the body, so I had to send it in to Nikon for repair. It will be gone for about 2 weeks after only 10 days of use. I am glad I didn't sell my K-5 (just most of its lenses).
It's a real shame as I was just getting used to the camera and liking what it can do. I'd stil recommend this camera, but I'd wait a year until they have fixed this quality control issue.
This is what I get for breaking my rule and buying a new product Day 1.
Oh well, I have got some spots to remove in Lightroom for the next batch of Kusatsu pictures...
At NETL, Thomas Simonyi, left and Stephen Beer use a thermogravimetric analyzer to analyze heavy metals to determine their suitability for making thin-film sensors for natural gas.
NETL is teaming with Carnegie Mellon University and West Virginia University to develop sensor arrays that can respond to rapid changes in fuels gas composition. The ability to detect and respond to changes is increasingly important because of the anticipated increased usage of liquefied natural gas in the nation's pipeline of the system. The technique for sensing hydrocarbons such as methane (C1), ethane (C2) and propane (C3) involves characterize their crackling behavior over catalyst materials. The technique developed by NETL researchers differentiates the activity of platinum catalysts with C1-C3 gases from thermal cracking.

For those who've wondered at my probably annoyingly often references to the damage to my camera, here it is in all its glory.
The only reason I'm sharing this is because of the amazing flare my 10-20mm produced here.

New safety installation at the industrial railway of Stadler when crossing the main road. This system operates independently of the normal train protection. If a shunting loco stands above this sensor, the system can be activated by a smartphone app. Staad, Altenrhein, Switzerland, March 7, 2015.

Hi everyone...I was "smart" enough to listen to my friend who mentioned that it would be a good idea to use compressed air to clean the sensor...This is the result...took a snap of a white sheet of paper and noticed this crap was on there!!!
Obviously I went absolutely crazy!!! The stuff wouldn't come off...wouldn't evaporate and I was scared if I left it there too long it would burn a hole through the sensor filter and damage the sensor...so I did the most unspeakable act....
...
...
brace yourself...

yes...

I TOUCHED THE SENSOR!!!
I took out the softest thing I had at the time - my Spudz lens Cloth (I was out at the time) and wrapped it round the end of a pens ink tube and gently cleared it off...Its still there around the sides but it doesn't show up in pics anymore which is good...thank goodness it didn't scratch it!
No place near here cleans sensors so I just got a proper sensor cleaning kit which should *hopefully* arrive tomorrow morning...will clean it properly then...
Can you feel my pain?!
(Picture is of entire sensor uncropped...thats how bad it was)
In many fatigue assessments characterising the applied service loading is the most difficult and critical step.
Fatigue Integrity Management has over fifty years experience in the design and installation of systems to allow in-service load or stress spectra to be established through acquisition and analysis of load, strain and displacement records.
CrackFirstTM sensors provide an alternative long term system for fatigue usage monitoring on steel structures. Attached adjacent to a fatigue critical detail, the sensor responds to cyclic loading by changing its output in proportion to the cumulative fatigue damage for a typical fillet welded joint. The sensors allow an estimation of remaining life of the structure and safe usage-based inspection intervals.
A wide range of structures and components has been assessed for TWI Members including earth moving equipment, road trucks and tankers, bridges and pressure vessels.
TWI operates a quality assurance scheme certified to ISO 9001:2000 by LRQA and BS EN ISO 14001:2004
and is an IiP certified company.
