The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new high sensitivity proximity ...

For a long time, displacement sensors were seen as simple tools devices that measure how far something moves from one point ...

Human-machine interaction in IoT refers to how people communicate with interconnected devices that collect and exchange data.

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

The method of measurement is based on the direct measurement of the distance via the contactless laser sensor RF603 Series. The electronic gauge contains a ball support to place the gauge onto the ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

We present a novel multi-modal tactile sensor which consists of an infrared proximity sensor and a barometric pressure sensor embedded in an elastomer layer with potential use in prosthetic devices.
