[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 ...

Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...

Measuring just 1.3'' x 0.3'' x 0.75'', the SM300FP miniature ultrasonic proximity sensor can detect materials at distances of 0.25'' to 4'', reportedly up to 12 times farther than many standard prox ...

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs (EuroNext Growth: ELABS.OL), a global AI software company and the world leader in Virtual Smart Sensors™, has announced that Xiaomi (HKSE: 1810.HK) has ...

STMicroelectronics' engineer Tom Bocchino explains how the company's TMOS sensor can detect human presence and proximity. STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

An Apple invention detailed in a patent application published Thursday describes a method of decoupling a keyboard's mechanical feel from its electrical functionality using proximity sensors, which ...

Airbus has selected ELDEC of Lynnwood, Washington, to provide the landing gear proximity sensing system for the A380. ELDEC supplies all-metal proximity sensors for all Airbus aircraft, and expects to ...
