Sensing & Measurement
Electronics devices and equipment are developed and deployed to support sensing and measurement applications and to meet stand-alone electronics requirements.
Sensing/Interaction Mechanisms: Fundamental mechanisms and interactions that allow detection and measurement of nuclear/ionizing radiation (e.g. free carrier generation in materials, optical scintillation, optically active defect creation in detectors).
Sensing Mechanism Capabilities
Sensor Device: A device that can detect and measure a specific biological organism. The sensor will rely on one or more sensing mechanisms and produce a signal that indicates the presence and quantity of the biological organism.
Sensor System: Typically a sensor with associated components (frequently electronics and user input/output devices) that can convert the sensor's raw signal to usable information on a biological organism (e.g., E. coli, botulism). These may be stand-alone instruments or a sensor module for incorporation in a more comprehensive system.
