1.   His partner, UT-Arlington civil engineering professor Sia Ardekani, said the sensor uses available technology in a new way.

2.   The automotive industry has also employed it in the use of tiny acceleration sensors used in airbag deployment.

3.   The evolution in bomb technology has paralleled improvements in the airborne surveillance sensors used to spot and track targets.

4.   The Minimed sensor uses a replaceable probe to measure glucose in the fluid directly under the skin, usually in the abdomen.

5.   The profit rise is due to strong demand for electronics sensors used for digital video discs and others.

6.   The sensor uses radar to detect and relay an image of how many people are in a room, where they are, and whether they are moving.

7.   These specialized sensors typically use a dust filter to collect a sample and measure levels of alpha and beta radiation over a time period of an hour.

8.   Those could be used for medical diagnoses or to improve on the chemical and biological agent sensors used in the Persian Gulf War, he said.
