Happy New Year to all Biomch-lers!
On Nov. 24, I posted a request as follows:
>A group of us in Grad. studies are seeking information on
>transducers - one group specifically on the use of piezoelectric
>force plates in gait kinetics, the other on the use of Hall effect
>transducers with no specific/special area of use in mind. Any
>information on manufacturers and distributors (in or out of
>Canada) would also be very useful.
The summary now follows:
Hall effect
