MicroStrain gets industry honor

MicroStrain Inc. said it has been feted with an industry honor - a gold "Best of Sensors Expo Award."

Headquartered in Williston, Vt., MicroStrain is a privately held company that produces smart, wireless, microminiature displacement, orientation, and strain sensors.

It won its award at the Sensors Expo & Conference, an industry event.

MicroStrain said it was cited for an energy-harvesting wireless strain node, or ESG-LINK, which was recently used to measure static and dynamic strains in rotating helicopter components during flight tests.
