Conclusion

Abstract

The applications of electronic sensors described in the previous chapters have come from a wide variety of sources, some in manufacturing industry, some in agriculture and others in medicine. These sources illustrate the extraordinary range of possibilities for electronic applications. One of the delights of being an electronic engineer is the daily contact with many interesting people from different disciplines and diverse backgrounds. Another delight is that a solution to one problem may well prove applicable in another apparently quite different area: it has been shown how a capacitance probe can be used to detect potatoes or felt tip pens; the electronic techniques needed to size potatoes or diamonds are almost identical.
