PETERBOROUGH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2002--Sensors Expo & Conference introduces a set of awe-inspiring technologies and technologists at this Fall's R&D Pavilion and Theater, September 24 - 26, 2002 in the World Trade Center Boston. R&D Partners, chosen from dozens of candidates, include Accenture Labs, Boeing, Capacitec, Draper Labs, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), The Center for the Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology (CIMIT) and the University of California at Berkeley. Demonstrations portray aeronautical, environmental, industrial, medical, national security, and professional sporting applications of new sensor-enabled data acquisition, manufacturing, networking, and wireless technologies. Crossbow, Endevco, Microstrain, and Kaman are among the Technology Partners whose products are incorporated into the new technologies. In addition to live demonstrations throughout the show, R&D Partners will present 20-minute briefings in the R&D Theater. The R&D Pavilion and Theater is open the duration of the show, Tuesday, September 24 - Thursday, September 26. Visit www.sensorsexpo.com for demo descriptions and the theater schedule.

"We're very selective about who we chose as our R&D Partners," said Pam Roth, Director of the Expo's R&D Program, which is comprised of the R&D Pavilion and Theater on the show floor, and R&D Day at the Conference. "While we see many innovative technologies and a lot of hard work in developing them, we include only those that offer unique, well-designed, and viable solutions using sensor, sensor-related, and enabling technologies."

R&D Day at the Conference, presented as a portion of the technical education program on Thursday, September 26, offers a collection of six expertly moderated panels focused on the challenges of bringing new technologies to fruition. This conference's topics include "The Wonderful World of Wireless Sensing," "Nanosensors: The Sensor Industry's Move Toward Nanotechnology," "Data Acquisition: From Sensor to Board Room," "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Wearable Technology," "Finding the Right Source of Funding," and "Trends and Challenges in the Sensors Industry."

A special $375 conference package, R&D Plus, including admittance to R&D at the Conference, the show floor, and breakfast and lunch in the First Class Suite, is geared for conferees whose schedules limit them to one day away from the office.
