Modern sensors working on new principles and/or using new materials and technologies are more precise, faster, smaller, use less power and are cheaper. Given these advantages, it is vitally important for system developers, system integrators and decision makers to be familiar with the principles and properties of the new sensor types in order to make a qualified decision about which sensor type to use in which system and what behavior may be expected. This type of information is very difficult to acquire from existing sources, a situation this book aims to address by providing detailed coverage on this topic. In keeping with its practical theme, the discussion concentrates on sensor types used or having potential to be used in industrial applications.
Metrology in Industry
Metrology is an integral part of the structure of today’s world: navigation and telecommunications require highly accurate time and frequency standards; human health and safety relies on authoritative measurements in diagnosis and treatment, as does food production and trade; global climate studies also depend on reliable and consistent data. Moreover, international trade practices increasingly require institutions to display demonstrated conformity to written standards and specifications. As such, having relevant and reliable results of measurements and tests in compliance with mutually recognised standards can be a technical, commercial and statutory necessity for a company. This book, the results of a working group from the French College of Metrology and featuring chapters written by a range of experts from a variety of European countries, gives a comprehensive and international treatment of the subject. Academics involved in metrology as well as people involved in the metrology capacities of companies and institutions will find this book of great interest.

Fahrleitungen elektrischer Bahnen
Die elektrische Traktion ist aus okologischer und okonomischer Sicht die gunstigste Art und im Nahverkehr und bei Hochgeschwindigkeitsbahnen die einzig mogliche Art der Energieversorgung fur Bahnen. Die Energie wird den Zugen uber Fahrleitungen zugefuhrt. Die Zuverlassigkeit des Bahnbetriebs hangt wesentlich von diesen Fahrleitungen ab, die unter allen klimatischen Bedingungen ihre Aufgabe mit hoher Verfugbarkeit mit geringem Instandhaltungsaufwand erfullen sollen. Die Energieversorgung der Fahrzeuge uber Oberleitungen ist eine besondere Herausforderung, wenn die Geschwindigkeiten uber 250 km/h betragen. In ihrem weltweit anerkannten Standardwerk bieten die Autoren eine profunde Beschreibung der theoretischen Grundlagen, des mechanischen und elektrischen Aufbaus sowie der Errichtung, des Betriebs und der Instandhaltung von Fahrleitungen im Nah- und Fernverkehr, einschlie?lich des Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehrs. Mitarbeitern der Bahnunternehmen und der Hersteller von Fahrleitungen, Studierenden und Berufseinsteigern bietet das Buch praktische Leitlinien fur die Planung und Ausfuhrung von Anlagen, Produktbeschreibungen, technische Daten, Normen und weitere Grundlagen. Das Buch befasst sich mit dem Zusammenwirken der einzelnen Komponenten der Energieversorgung und kann so beratenden Ingenieuren zur Planung von Anlagen und von Schnittstellen zu anderen Teilsystemen elektrischer Bahnen dienen.
