Wireless, Battery-less Sensor Systems
Transense develops and markets patent-protected sensor systems for measuring torque, temperature and pressure, wirelessly and without the need for batteries, using Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology.
As no batteries or wires are required, the sensors can be used in applications that traditional sensors cannot, such as on rotating shafts or in environments where access to the sensors is difficult or potentially hazardous.
Transense is developing the technology in conjunction with partners including McLaren Electronic Systems and General Motors, as well as via two wholly owned divisions, IntelliSAW and Translogik, targeting the high growth global electrical Smart Grid applications market and the transport industry respectively.

The Benefits of SAW Technology
SAW devices, as deployed by Transense, are realised as crystalline quartz substrates (dies) typically 6 x 4 mm by 350 microns thick. On each die up to 3 resonators, with natural frequencies around 433MHz, are laid down in thin film aluminium, using photo-lithographic techniques. Each resonator comprises a central inter-digitated transducer (IDT) with a series of reflecting strips distributed on either side. Overall resonator dimensions are 2 to 3 mm long x 0.3 to 0.4 mm wide. The spacing between individual features in the IDT and reflectors is of the order of 2 microns so you need a microscope to resolve the fine detail. SAW resonators respond to both mechanical and thermal strain by changing their natural frequency of vibration..
Helping the World's environment
- Wind energy is one of several applications of Transense's patented technology that will have a positive impact on the world’s environment.
- As Transense's passive SAW technology doesn’t require batteries there are no potentially harmful disposal issues.
- By allowing for more efficient car engines and power grids it has the potential to reduce carbon emissions.
- Maximising tyre life & performance reduces the demand for fuel as well as rubber for replacement tyres.

Interim Results
Transense Technologies plc (AIM:TRT) ("Transense" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its interim results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2012.
Highlights
- Sales reached a record level: £967,000 (2011: £414,000)
- Receipt of the first major order from Anglo American for the iTrack system
- First full factory fit out with IntelliSAW sensors, at soon to be completed, state-of-the-art, Fuxin Special Steel Company (FSSC) Steel Plant in China
- Continued progress towards commercialisation of the torque flexplate in partnership with General Motors
Post Period Highlights and Outlook
- iTrack field trials currently underway in South America, Australia and Indonesia
- Record quarterly IntelliSAW orders since the start of 2013, including:
- ETT (IntelliSAW Taiwan distributor)
- Al Mashariq (IntelliSAW Saudi distributor), marking the first major contract win in that region
- 33 system installation in South Korea for POSCO, the country's largest steel manufacturer, with the potential for further larger deployments
- Growing pipeline, pilots and number of distributors for both divisions across multiple geographies provide encouraging signs for future performance
- Announcement today of conditional placing to raise approximately £290,000 (net of expenses)
Graham Storey, CEO, commented: "The Board is encouraged that, against the backdrop of continuing progress on Transense's long-term development projects with the likes of GM, Translogik and IntelliSAW are now beginning to provide the near- and medium-term revenue to support the Company until such time as royalty revenues arrive.
"The first six months of our financial year have seen record sales for the Transense Group and we are more optimistic than ever that we have the right products, for the right markets at the right time to give the Company the best possible opportunity for its future commercial success."
