    Position Sensors
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the positions of three sensors given the known position of a first sensor at coordinates (0,0). The user seeks assistance on how to calculate the other sensor positions using the distances between them, which are already known. There is a request for helpful resources or websites related to sensors and distance measurement. Additionally, a suggestion is made to provide a drawing of the sensor setup to facilitate better assistance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of visual aids in solving spatial positioning problems.

Hi there, I need a help. There're given 4 sensors (any kind of sensor which can transmit&receive signals in order to find a distance between another sensors around there). And we know the position of first sensor, say x1=0, y1=0, and have to find other 3 sensor's position. We can easily find distances between sensors, that's why no need to carry about distances. I just need a help how to find other sensor's position. If you know any useful web sites related to distance/sensors, please leave their URL. thanks in advance. I'll appreciate your help.

Welcome to the PF.

Could you perhaps post a drawing of the setup? That would help us to help you.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
