Moog Medical Devices Group Wins Silver Best of Sensors Expo Award in Sensors Category

6 July 2009

Moog Medical Devices Group today announced that it has been awarded a Silver Sensors “Best of Sensors Expo” award in the Sensors Category. Moog won the award for its LifeGuard IQ sensing platform. LifeGuard IQ is a microcontroller-based, multi-functional air bubble detector, configurable to meet various user requirements. This sensor builds on the strengths of Moog's existing ultrasonic air bubble detector design, namely the use of swept frequency in the transmit signal generation, and adds intelligence to this already robust sensor.

The Sensors “Best of Sensors Expo” awards honored the most exciting new products that were on display at the Sensors Expo & Conference, which took place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. All entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness, and availability.

This panel of judges was comprised of the magazine’s editorial staff, members of the editorial advisory board, and industry experts including Melanie Martella, executive editor of Sensors; Deborah Lickness, John Deere; and Ed Ramsden, a member of Sensors' editorial advisory board and principal of Sensorlytics LLC.

“The awards program recognizes cutting-edge solutions in the sensors marketplace,” said Martella. “All of the nominations demonstrated exceptional innovation, integration, and ease-of-use. We believe this year’s winners will be leaders in the sensors marketplace and offer our congratulations to the companies recognized.”
