Sensors

Contributor : Rizkya Samara Dewi

A sensor is an electronic component that functions to convert mechanical, magnetic, heat, light, and chemical quantities into electricity in the form of voltage, resistance and electric current. Sensors are often used for detection when making measurements or controls.

Sensor Classification:

In general, based on the function and use of the sensor can be grouped into 3 parts, namely:

  1. Thermal Sensor (Temperature Sensor)

    2. Thermal sensor is a sensor that is used to detect symptoms of changes in heat / temperature / temperature in a dimension of a certain object or space dimension.

  2. Mechanical Sensor

    3. Mechanical sensors are sensors that detect changes in mechanical motion, such as displacement or shift or position, straight and circular motion, pressure, flow, level and so on.

  3. Optical Sensor (Light Sensor)

    4. An optical or light sensor is a sensor that detects changes in light from a light source, reflection of light or bias light that illuminates an object or room.The sensor is the senses for electronic devices, therefore it needs precision and wisdom in determining the sensors used.

Type of sensor:

  • Fingerprint is an application that is designed to meet fast data needs by using fingerprint or RFID verification. Fingerprint identification is the process of comparing two examples of human fingerprints to determine whether they are from the same individual. The complete fingerprint machine package usually contains free attendance management software and other complementary features.
  • Access Control is an application that regulates one's access rights to certain rooms or doors. The benefit of access control is being able to control who enters the room and records how many times a person can go in and out using the door. Door access control can use a fingerprint recognition sensor or use a face detection machine./li>
  • Radio frequency identification or RFID is a technology for identifying something using radio frequency. The benefits and usability of technology are used to provide accurate information automatically so that it saves significant time and costs. RFID machines generally consist of antennas and transceivers that read radio frequencies and transfer that information to processing devices or transponders.

Did You Know?

Sensors are used today almost everywhere. Radar guns bounce microwaves off moving cars. A burglar alarm may use a photosensor to detect when a beam of light has been broken, or may use ultrasonic sound waves that bounce off moving objects. Still other sensors may detect pressure (barometers) or chemicals (Breathalyzers and smoke detectors). Stud finders, used by carpenters to locate wooden studs under a wall, may employ magnets or radar. Wired gloves, which relay information about the position of the fingers, are used in virtual-reality environments. A cheap car alarm may be nothing but a shock sensor, in which a strong vibration will cause two metal surfaces to come together.

Di era globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, yang di mana tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam semua aspek kehidupan manusia, termasuk dalam bisnis yang di mana saat ini bisa dengan mudah untuk menjalankan bisnis skala global . Diskusi serta komunikasi bisa dilakukan dengan lebih mudah serta lebih murah dengan menggunakan e-mail maupun internet, juga sistem informasi dapat digunakan untuk memantau jaringan jaringan bisnis yang telah menyebar ke luar negeri, dan juga bisa memantau kinerja perusahaan dengan lebih mudah dengan mengolah informasi kemudian menghasilkan output yang bisa digunakan oleh manajemen dalam mengelola perusahaan serta bagi pihak pemegang saham untuk menilai kinerja perusahaan. Dahulu, sekitar tahun 1980-an sampai pada tahun 1990-an, perusahaan multinasional sedang gencar-gecarnya mengambangkan Sistem Informasi Global (SIG) mereka walaupun masih perlu untuk disempurnakan kembali, maka dari itu pada tahun 2000-an banyak perusahaan multinasion...

Apa itu budaya global?

Artikel ini akan menjelaskan tentang Global Culture, atau yang sering kita sebut dengan Budaya Global. Beberapa sosiolog memprediksi bahwa di dunia akan ada budaya global. Caranya dengan melalui fenomena difusi budaya, atau penyebaran lintas budaya. Lintas budaya ini akan selalu saling mempengaruhi melalui perjalanan dan perdagangan. Karena populasi saat ini semakin meningkat, tingkat difusi budaya pun meningkat secara dramatis. Kontributor: Arsita Rahma Juned Apa itu budaya global? Budaya Global itu sendiri terdiri dari dua kata, yaitu Budaya dan Global. Budaya berasal dari bahasa Sansekerta yaitu buddhayah, diartikan sebagai hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan budi dan akal manusia. Kebudayaan juga disebut Culture, berasal dari kata Latin (Colere), yaitu mengolah atau mengerjakan. Kata Global itu sendiri maknanya adalah universal. Jadi secara harfiah pengertian Budaya Global dikutip dari IGI Global adalah Sekelompok manusia yang anggotanya saling mengenal, berdasarkan kekha...

What is LAN (Local Area Network)

Kontributor: Krisna Try Prasetyo What is LAN A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a larger office. LAN networking comprises cables, switches, routers and other components that let users connect to internal servers, websites and other LANs via wide area networks. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two primary ways to enable LAN connections. Ethernet is a specification that enables computers to communicate with each other. Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect computers to the LAN. Other LAN technolo...
