New developments in temperature sensors

The availability of low-cost small size integrated circuits allows temperature information to be selectively extracted from signals produced by such phenomena. In this way many 'new' types of temperature sensors may be constructed. New development in temperature sensor helps to produce robust low-cost small-size sensors for inclusion in consumer devices. Extremely accurate calibration standards are produced. Devices that measure mean temperature (rather than spot temperatures) in a spatial region are needed. Robust miniature sensors that can be used to measure temperatures in applications where currently available sensors are not applicable is developed.
