センサーの先端材料

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

By considering advanced materials within the context of many different advanced sensor categories, and also within their eventual sensor applications, advanced material and advanced sensor professionals can consider the entire landscape of current and developing technologies in order to make better strategic and market-based business decisions.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report contains:

• Descriptions of various types of advanced materials
• An examination of how sensor products are used in the context of several different applications, including vehicular sensing; aerospace and aviation sensing; civil engineering sensing; security, law enforcement, and defense related sensing; navigation sensing; medical sensing, and several others
• Discussion of technologies along with a thorough patent analysis
• The current market status of advanced materials, trends, and forecasts for growth over the next 5 years
• Analysis of the sensors industry on a worldwide basis, both from a market and application perspective
• A discussion of the legal and regulatory factors that must be considered for each of the different market and technology categories.

INFORMATION SOURCES

Additionally, BCC analyzed greater than 2,300 utility patents filed in the U.S. and throughout the world on advanced materials, advanced sensors, and sensor related application inventions.
