hi all,
getting an overview of sensor technology is a bit tricky - - can anyone redirect me to good link collections describing different sensor technologies?

so far i've found:
wikipedia: category: sensor - list of different sensor technologies
ITP sensor wiki - wiki maintained by ITP students
sensedu.com - hungarian educational site from 2004

thanks!
