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 ...

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 ...

A line of distance measurement sensors, the DT 60, DL 60, DT 500 and DS 500 are well suited for a variety of material handling, logistics and general manufacturing applications. The DT 60 is a ...

This post is a review of the popular waterproof ultrasonic sensor JSN-SR04T. I hope this will serve as a backdrop for some interesting ultrasonic distance sensor experiments and projects. A number of ...

Darnaby Elementary students design a sensor-based mobility tool for Paulina, a Jarman Elementary student, combining coding, ...

The lack of sensory feedback provided by prosthetic hands dramatically limits the utility of the device. Peripheral nerve interfaces are now able to produce stable somatosensory percepts for upper ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...

The unassuming proximity sensor, a tiny component nestled within your smartphone, plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless calling experience. It detects the proximity of your face during calls, ...

TURCK announces their analog+ proximity sensors have been enhanced to differentiate between varying types of metal during detection—independent of their distance from the sensor. Nov. 25, 2009 ...
