Additional conference complements Sensor + Test trade fair
The etc event will be the stage for many high-profile speakers and presentations. Examples for the topics are spectrum and network analysis, Test data acquisition and processing architectures according to IRIG 106, or Ethernet Packet Filtering. Manfred Malkus from Rohde & Schwarz, for example, will demonstrate the latest trends in spectrum and network analysis; Werner Lange and Karen v. Huenerbein from Lange Electronic will provide a comparison of modernised GNSS; Christoph Heller from Airbus Innovation will explain the principles of OFDM data transmission – including subcarrier modulation, synchronisation, and spectrum shaping as well as a Matlab-based system model. Joaquim Neto Dias from Instituto de Pesquisas e Ensaios em Voo (IPV) will show how to overcome instrumentation limitations in spin tests using flight path reconstruction techniques.
The presentations are divided in several tracks; their topics are, for instance "Data Management", Methods & Standards", or "GNSS and Antennae". Data acquisition systems and techniques will play a considerable part, with three tracks dedicated to this topic – "Acquisition Systems1", "Acquisition Systems 2" and "Network and Acquisition Systems".
The etc meeting is designed as international congress dedicated to telemetry, telecontrol, tele instrumentation and related data processing. Thus, it ideally enhances the general topic of the Sensor + Test fair.
The etc is not the only additional event that potentially will attract Sensor + Test visitors. The organiser, the information technology group within the influential VDE electrical industry association, also has set up the 17th meeting "Sensors and Measurement Systems", with dozens of presentations. Unfortunately, most of them will be held in German language. Topics cover a broad range of sensor technologies such as force and pressure sensors, magnetic sensors; chemical and biosensors; optical, temperature or acoustic sensors. Other tracks discuss the question "Modeling, Simulation and Validation", Diagnosis of measurement systems, Impedance spectrometry and Sensor Data Fusion in Measurement technologies. Nevertheless, here are some examples of those presentations that are held in English language : A research team of the Erlangen university will introduce the results of its project dedicated to "Resonance Frequency Shift of Magnetostrictive Microcantilevers due to the E Effect"; Fraunhofer IPA will discuss a "Projection based initialization method for visual pose tracking", and Krohne Messtechnik will show the results of a study about "Coriolis mass flow measurement with entrained gas". All in all, a rather academic selection, but nevertheless interesting.
Sensor + Test takes place from June 3 to 4 in Nuremberg, Germany.
