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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

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.

A device that detects the presence of an object in the vicinity. There are many types of sensors for myriad applications; however, they all work by emitting a signal and analyzing the changes in the ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

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.

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 ...

As reported by the Battlefield Direct Communnication Twitter account (thanks, PC Gamer), the Prox Sensor was initially disabled on November 16. The post says that the Prox Sensor was only meant to be ...
