Sensors

Accensors have developed a wide range of printed and flexible sensors, capable of measuring parameters such as pH, temperature, pressure, ion concentration, level, conductivity and more. Its main target market is wearable/healthcare applications. Accensors' primary business model is developing bespoke sensors, including those that can determine multiple parameters.

Prophesee has developed hardware and associated software for event-based vision sensors that is based on how the human eye records and interprets visual inputs. The sensors facilitate machine vision by recording changes in the scene rather than recording the entire scene at regular intervals. Advantages include better low light response (<1 lux) and dynamic range (>143dB), reduced data generation (10-1000x less than conventional approaches) leading to lower transfer/processing requirements, and higher temporal resolution (microsecond time resolution, i.e. >10k images per second time resolution equivalent)

IDTechEx interviewed Francesco Guido, CEO of Piezoskin. They have developed a flexible, wearable, piezoelectric sensor based on AlN. We discussed their technology and business progress.

Many of the leading patentors of sensors do not sell sensors. Their motivation is to provide uniques for their equipment. Consider Samsung, now number three in number of sensor patents worldwide from nowhere ten years ago.

False-start - stagnation - market explosion: The CNT success story begins, as IDTechEx forecasts significant growth

Founded in April 2018, Ultrasense Systems brings a new user interface that utilizes 3D ultrasound technology.

SigmaSense, a US company that has developed an innovative read-out mechanism for capacitive touch sensors that has a much higher signal-to-noise ratio. They announced in September 2020 that they have raised $22m in a Series A round from a range of strategic partners including Corning and Eink.

Bare Conductive, a supplier of dynamically functional surfaces targeting integrated large area sensing applications, have announced in the video below that they are seeking partners for collaboration.

This IDTechEx article assesses the technological status of image recognition AI in medical diagnostics today, detailing its current capabilities and value proposition. The article also identifies key technological issues currently limiting the uptake of image recognition AI and discusses opportunities for improvement.

Nanopaint offer a wide range of functional inks for printed electronics, including piezoresistive, piezoelectric and magnetic inks. They also offer inks to produce anodes and cathodes for printed batteries, and are developing transparent conductive and chemical sensing inks. In 2019 Nanopaint started manufacturing printed sensors themselves.

This article contains key reflections of the high-level discussions that took place during the congress and is structured by theme.

Chasm is a materials company that has invented and manufactures a category of advanced materials known as carbon nanotubes hybrids (CNT Hybrids). CNTs are combined with other materials creating a hybrid to improve the performance properties of the material alone. They are best known for their transparent, flexible conductive inks/films, but also find applications for their CNTs in battery electrodes, tires and other emerging applications.

Sensors in the water and wastewater treatment industries are an emerging technology market area, forecast to grow to $2Bn+ in 2030. IDTechEx has analyzed this market in its new report "Sensors in the Water and Wastewater treatment industries 2020-2030".

Wednesday 16 September 2020 - Seeing Is Believing: The Truth Behind the Optics and Displays of AR/MR/VR. Why do optics and displays Matter? What are the key properties in choosing an optical set-up? What are the key properties in choosing a micro-display? Where are these markets going in the next decade?

The new IDTechEx report, "Optics and Displays in AR, VR, and MR 2020-2030: Technologies, Players and Markets", covers the complete range of optics and display technologies which are used in spatial reality products.

In its recently published report "Innovations in Robotic Surgery 2020-2030: Technologies, Players & Markets", IDTechEx reports that the robotic surgery market will reach over $12 billion by 2030. The report breaks down the market landscape and emerging technologies in the field of robotic surgery.

The Europeans call it Intralogistics and the rest of the world calls it Material Handling. The terms mean material transport in warehouses, docks, airports, farms, factories and the like. The most popular manually operated form is the forklift and the most common robotic form is usually quite primitive and called automatic guided vehicles.

IDTechEx have released a new research report, "Skin Sensors 2020- 2030: Technologies, Markets, Players, Forecasts".
