I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Hardware is expected to account for the largest share of the sensor testing market by offering segments during the forecast period. Sensor testing requires the use of specialized hardware components ...
