Sensors Weekly will be taking a break for the holidays and will return in January 2012.

Temperature Sensor Technology Transition and End-user Growth Trends
The global temperature sensors and transmitters market is highly competitive, with a large number of participants. Temperature is one of the most frequently measured parameters, with temperature sensors used in many industries (if not all of them). Because temperature applications are so diverse—ranging from critical process control to maintaining comfort levels inside automobiles—there are several technologies that are used to measure temperature although temperature sensors can be broadly classified into two categories: contact and noncontact. continued
