Sensors (5^th Ed., 5th ed. 1997. Softcover reprint of the original 5th ed. 1997)

This is the 5th edition of the Metra Martech Directory "EUROPEAN CENTRES OF EXPERTISE - SENSORS." The entries represent a survey of European sensors development. The new edition contains 425 detailed profiles of companies and research institutions in 22 countries. This is reflected in the diversity of sensors development programmes described, from sensors for physical parameters to biosensors and intelligent sensor systems. We do not claim that all European organisations developing sensors are included, but this is a good cross section from an invited list of participants. If you see gaps or omissions, or would like your organisation to be included, please send details. The data base invites the formation of effective joint ventures by identifying and providing access to specific areas in which organisations offer collaboration. This issue is recognised to be of great importance and most entrants include details of collaboration offered and sought. We hope the directory on Sensors will help you to find the right partners with whom you can cooperate successfully and reach new markets.

1. Introduction.- 2. The European Sensors Markets.- 2.1. Overview.- 2.2. Analysis of Entrants’ Activities.- 3. How to Use the Directory.- 4. Company Information.- 5. Cross References.- 6. List of Organisations.- 7. Participating Advertisers.

This directory gives concise, detailed profiles of principal European organisation involved in sensor technology. Each entry gives name and address information followed by an organisational profile and the range of activities in which the organisation is most involved. The expertise of the organisation is classified by nine industrial groupings including automotive, consumer products, process industries/mining/energy/utilities, manufacturing machinery, medicine/health care, HVAC/free control/security, military/aerospace, telecommunications/computers/office equipment and agriculture/pollution/water/sewage/weather. The applications are then cross referenced against seven types of signal sensed including radiation, optical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, chemical and mechanical.
