Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military ...

Combining a miniature, threaded,12-mm housing and an extended sensing range of 50.8 mm, the Superprox Model SM300 "install-it-and-forget-it" sensor is designed to solve proximity sensing problems, ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

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 ...

Vishay’s VCNL4100 is an IR proximity sensor that works up to 1m, and includes an ambient light sensor. Inside, it combines an infra-red (940nm) emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light ...

Manufacturers in the automotive industry are striving to make the most of the current trend towards electric vehicles and low fuel consumption by building lighter-weight vehicles and favoring aluminum ...

The sensing range of the series is approximately twice that of previous models for ferrous metals and six times as long as previous models for aluminum, making them the suitable for mixed-metal ...

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 ...

An Apple patent application published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday describes a system that may one day replace the infrared proximity sensors deployed in current iPhones with ...

New from Moog Sensor and Surveillance Systems, the Lycos Tracking System is specially designed to provide tracking of targets at long range. The Lycos features dual high-definition EO/IR cameras with ...

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 ...
