FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Transducer
Technology, Inc. Revolutionizes Gas Detection
(San Francisco, CA)-The new
CHIP series gas sensor is making affordable, solid-state gas detection a
reality for the industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring
industries.

“We are very excited about this new technology,” Vishad
Patel, Senior Engineer of Transducer Technology, Inc. says. “The
CHIP sensor will put a high performance and cost effective sensor
into the hands of people who, before now, had to sacrifice one or
the other.”
The model 16DIPCO sensor [patents pending] is tiny, rugged, accurate, and
guaranteed to operate continuously in a wide variety of environments. The
16DIPCO is designed specifically for companies that want a low cost and
low power alternative to traditional gas detection methods. The sensor can
be used in CO detection applications such as residential carbon monoxide
alarms, personal safety, OSHA toxic gas monitoring, fire detection
systems, and general carbon monoxide monitoring.

The 16DIPCO sensor is a standard size electronic 16 pin DIP, similar to an
operational amplifier, allowing simple, cost-effective integration into
existing product designs and electronic circuits. The CHIP sensor requires
few parts for operation and control, and has 50% less weight (2gm) and 40%
less volume (2.3 cm3) than competitive CO sensors, while
maintaining its high performance CO sensing capability.
“There is no reason why manufacturers of monitoring equipment
can’t have it both ways,” Patel says. “We expect a huge response to
the CHIP sensor…the day is finally here.”
Two other CHIP sensors are already in development for the detection
of H2S and NO2. These two variations should be ready
for production in 2004, and will offer the same time-tested reliability,
low cost, and accurate response as the 16DIPCO sensor.
TTI is a spin off of the Illinois Institute of Technology Sensor
Research Group of Dr. Joseph Stetter, Chemistry Professor at IIT, who is
an environmental monitoring research and development industry veteran,
with hundreds of patents to his name. TTI’s mission is to offer the same
reliable high performance sensor technology in use today by the USAF/SAC
and NASA, in an affordable, and easily integrated package.
