Detecting Plastic and other Explosives at Molecular Level

Unfortunately, some explosives are easier to detect than others and sniffing out the highly explosive PETN has, until now, been a time-consuming and expensive process. To reliably detect just a few small molecules of this material requires cutting-edge trace detector technology based on nanotubes. Working on his doctorate under Professor Wolfgang Ensinger, Head of the Materials Analytics Working Group at the Technical University in Darmstadt in Germany, Mario Boehme has developed an extremely sensitive sensor to do just that. more07.06.2011

Bosch extends Professional Series product line with long range intrusion detector

Stationary Gas Warning System

The Dräger VarioGard 3x00 Transmitter is a VarioGard gas warning system component. A VarioGard system comprises a central unit and various components connected and supplied by a digital VarioGard bus.

High Reliability: Field-proven DrägerSensors in the Dräger VarioGard 3x00 Transmitter measure the concentration of noxious gases in the ambient air. The measured values are digitally transmitted to the central unit for visualisation. If the value exceeds predefined limits an alarm will be triggered. more29.06.2010

Solar Power

With growth rates of 60% solar power plants are one of the most rapidly expanding segments in the energy sector. But how can the huge open-air solar parks - which can quickly reach a size of several hectares - be effectively protected against vandalism, sabotage and theft?
viasys intelligent video has developed a concept for this scenario that has been implemented at numerous sites. more21.05.2010
