The definition of a sensor given in the national standard GB7665-87 is: "A device or apparatus that can perceive the specified measurement and convert it into a usable signal according to a certain rule, usually consisting of a sensitive element and a conversion element." A sensor is a detection device that can perceive the information of the measured quantity and transform the detected information into an electric signal or other required form of information output according to a certain rule, to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control. It is the primary link in achieving automatic detection and automatic control. According to their purposes, sensors can be classified into pressure-sensitive and force-sensitive sensors, displacement sensors, liquid level sensors, energy consumption sensors, speed sensors, temperature-sensitive sensors, radiation sensors, vibration sensors, humidity-sensitive sensors, magnetic-sensitive sensors, vacuum degree sensors, biosensors, etc. Below, we introduce five highly regarded sensor websites.
