Sensors Update

"Sensors Update" is designed to keep the reader at the cutting edge of the field. Built upon the series "Sensors", it presents an overview of highlights in the field. Coverage includes late 1990s developments in materials, design, production, and applications of sensors, signal detection and processing, as well as new sensing principles. Furthermore, the sensor market as well as peripheral aspects such as standards or patents are covered. Each volume is divided into three sections: "Sensor Technology" - reviews highlights in applied and basic research; "Sensor Applications" - covers new or improved applications of sensors; and "Sensor Markets" - provides a survey of suppliers and market trends for a particular area. With this combination of information in each volume, the text should be of value for scientists and engineers in industry and at universities, through to sensors developers, distributors, and users.
