From the Foreword
We have entered the third millennium . . . !

Relations between nations, institutions, and even between individuals are increasingly characterized by a comprehensive and rapid exchange of information. Communication between scientists and engineers, bankers and brokers, manufacturers and consumers proceeds at an ever-quickening pace. Exchanging ideas and thoughts with others is no longer a matter of weeks, months, or years. Humankind has now reached the point of being able to distribute large volumes of information to any number of addresses within the blink of an eye.

Human intelligence is thus nourished from many different sources, producing globally useful scientific, technical, and economic improvements within only a short time. The question of whether the globalization of our thoughts is an advantage or a disadvantage for humankind still remains to be answered, however.

Dr. Sabrie Soloman devotes his scientific work to the challenging area of translating scientific ideas into technically applicable solutions. He consolidates thoughts and knowledge within controlled systems and participates to ensure, during the advent of this third millennium, that technical progress is not conceived as a risk but rather as an opportunity.

Dr. Soloman's new handbook introduces us into the world of advanced sensor technology, starting with information in a simple form, and, with increasing complexity, offers sophisticated solutions for problems that to date were considered insoluble. Profound knowledge and understanding of all phases of the processes within complex systems are the prerequisites to securing control and quality. This is clearly illustrated by a large number of applications and examples from chemistry, physics, medicine, military, and other allied subjects covered in Dr. Soloman's handbook.

Adaptive systems are increasingly being called for in the processing of complex information. These systems must react quickly and adequately to expected, and even unforeseeable, developments.

Uhlmann, as a producer of highly sophisticated packaging systems for the pharmaceutical industry worldwide, stands for a high level of reliability thanks to its mechanical, electrical, electronic, and optical modules permitting quality and efficiency in pharmaceutical packaging to be combined.

Reflecting on almost 50 years of tradition as a supplier to the pharmaceutical industry, forward thinking and the ambition to combine advanced science with state-of-the-art technology in our packaging systems have been the cornerstones of our success. Developments for the future include the application of advanced sensor technology and fiber-optic transmission techniques, as well as adaptive and decision-making computers on our machinery. Thus, we contribute our share to ensure that medication, whether in the form of liquids, tablets, or coated tablets, is supplied to the consumer in perfect quality as far as Uhlmann is responsible for the packaging process.

Dr. Soloman's handbook offers the user a large variety of references in regard to target oriented sensor technology - the analysis of the subsequent process information transformed into signals that secure function and quality. Sensors Handbook will certainly provide impulses for the development of highly sophisticated systems, continuing to challenge us in the future.

About the Author
Sabrie Soloman PhD ScD MBA PE is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of American SensoRx, Inc., and SensoRx, Chongqing, China, Ltd. He is a professor and founder of advanced manufacturing technology at Columbia University. Dr. Soloman is considered an international authority on advanced manufacturing technology and automation in the microelectronics, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. He has been and continues to be instrumental in developing and implementing several industrial modernization programs through the United Nations to various European and African countries. Dr. Soloman is the first to introduce and implement Nano-MEMS technology in sensors manufacturing and applications. He introduced and implemented unmanned flexible synchronous/asynchronous systems to the microelectronic and pharmaceutical industries and was the first to incorporate advanced vision technology to a wide array of robot manipulators. Dr. Soloman invented the SpectRx NIR sensing technology for the medical and pharmaceuticals industry, as he correlated tablet hardness and disintegration with tablet MR spectrum.
