Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we need to explore some methods to mitigate problems caused by unpredictable ground currents.

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 ...

The new CA18CB..IO and CA30CB..IO capacitive sensors with IO-Link communication offer exceptional sensing performance and simplified adjustments through their integrated LED bar, which displays on/off ...

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 ...

As an added bonus, ProTac can be set to a "flicker mode" in which the PDLC continuously (and rapidly) switches back and forth between its transparent and opaque states. This allows the system to ...

Yasmine Crossland is an experienced technology journalist who has covered everything from smartphones and tablets to true wireless earbuds and soundbars. She has written for titles such as Pocket-Lint ...

Studies have shown that many people don't commute by bike due mainly to a fear of being hit by cars. A new bike-mounted proximity sensor has been designed to help such folks, by objectively telling ...

A traditional computer mouse typically fits in the palm of your hand. However, with modern technology, there’s no need for mice to be so large, as demonstrated by [juskim]’s neat little mouse ring.

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

GM is slowly shifting its crossovers and SUVs from using motion sensors to operate power liftgates to proximity sensors used specifically for the AutoSense Liftgate feature. Power liftgates with ...

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company and the world leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™ currently deployed in over 500 million devices, is shipping ...
