CONTROLS & SENSORS Sensitive Objects technology can be used as a control panel to control lighting, as in this image, or be used in a variety of household applications such as controlling appliances and security systems. base of pre-established signatures, the exact location of the source can be determined. In addition, because the location can be found with a single sensor, component costs can be dramatically reduced, says Vasseur. The touch-control acoustic technology allows the company to develop “virtual” but- tons that can be placed several meters away from the controllers. The buttons are called virtual in that they are not tied to a specific sensor component. The receivers that capture the sound waves are typically acoustic transducers. Properly locating them is key to their optimal perfor- The S16 embedded system enables the development of HMI applications in any system environment. Sensors feed acoustic information to the board, which is digitized and enhanced via a proprietary process before analysis. The easy Choice for Refrigeration Control CAREL, the leader in cooling control, offers the refrigeration market the best of its controller technology in an innovative product: easy. easy was designed based on direct input “from the field”. This feedback along with CAREL’s decades of experience in refrigeration applications resulted in a perfect combination of performance and value. With easy, CAREL offers a solution designed specifically for refrigeration applications such as reach-in coolers and freezers. Simply put, CAREL now makes choosing the right controller for your refrigerated equipment: easy. easy to set easy to install easy to plug in easy to choose easy to customize easy to clean easy to read INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS & ENERGY SAVINGS CAREL USA 385 S.
