<h1> Solar Cells </h1> <p> Solar Cells are designed to convert solar (light) energy into electrical energy. The types of cells are amorphous, monocrystalline, and photovoltaic with a power max ranging from 7.95µW to 50W. The size / dimension of the cells range from 0.193” L x 0.154” w x 0.061” H (4.90mm x 390mm x 1.55mm) to 29.300” L x 27.800” W x 1.417” H (744.00mm x 706.00mm x 36.00mm). </p>

<h1> Specialized Sensors </h1> <p> Specialized Sensors are devices designed for specific requirements or for niche applications. The sensor types are accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pressure, temperature, humidity, light, air quality monitor, analog-to-frequency converter, anemometer, battery sensor, biometric, bubble detector, button press, camshaft, capacitive, contact sensor, depth gauge, dry contact sensor, fingerprint, force sensing, gas, geiger tube, infrared, joystick, and laser power, among others. </p>

<h1> Strain Gauges </h1> <p> Strain gauges are devices used to measure strain forces on materials. The most common consists of an insulating flexible backing with a metallic foil pattern. The gauge is attached to an object with a suitable adhesive. As the object is deformed, the flexible backing and foil are deformed, causing a change in electrical resistance. This resistance change is usually measured with a Wheatstone bridge. </p>

<h1> Temperature Sensors </h1> <p> Temperature Sensors are devices that detect hot or cool temperatures and convert the findings into an electrical signal relative to the detection. Types include analog and digital output, industrial analog and digital output, NTC thermistors, PTC thermistors, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, temperatures probes, thermostats (mechanical, industrial mechanical, solid state), and more. </p>

<h1> Touch Sensors </h1> <p> Touch sensors are more reliable and convenient with no moving parts. The two types are infrared which uses IR beams to detect when there is a touch and resistive that exhibits a decrease in resistance with an increase in force applied to the surface of the sensor. The output types are analog, I2C, and USB with a termination style of card edge/solder pad, connector, flex cable, solder tab, and tab. </p>

<h1> Ultrasonic Receivers, Transmitters </h1> <p> Ultrasonic Receivers and Transmitters are designed to detect and transmit high frequency sound waves, respectively. They are characterized by frequency, rated voltage, and beam angle. Their typical operating frequency range are 50Hz, 10kHz to 65kHz, 20kHz, 25kHz, 28kHz, 38kHz to 42kHz, 40kHz, 42kHz, 49.5kHz, 58kHz, 60kHz, 300kHz, 1MHz, 2.45mHz, and 168MHz. </p>
