  • Summary - Transducers

    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

    Kolen, P.T. et al (1993). Absolute Angle Measurement Using
    the Earth-Field-Referenced Hall Effect Sensors. Journal of
    Biomechanics; 24(3):265-270.

    Manufacturer of Hall generators -
    F.W. Bell Company (no address given).
