The C 12 bistable magnetic sensor and magnet proximity switches can sense a magnet almost 2 in. away. They suit positioning and speed-sensing applications. The switches are offered with dry contact, ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...

The sensors in your smart device are a big part of what make it, well, smart. Sensors allow our devices to understand context— they tell phones where they are in space and how we’re using them. This ...

On Tuesday this week an Apple spokesperson made claims that the upcoming release of iOS 4.1 will not fix the proximity sensor problems that are being blamed on software bugs, relocation of the ...

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 ...

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.

Consumer devices like cell phones are using more and more sensors to save power and enhance our interaction with them. Some of the latest devices have multiple sensors; and now, two important and ...

Proximity sensors have become more and more sophisticated as well as more reliable and rugged with IP-rated and sealed housings and other features. This lets them withstand some of the harshest ...

The recent shift to remote and hybrid work has created a “visibility” concern for many employees. Proximity bias describes how people in positions of power tend to treat workers who are physically ...

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 ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

Today, most modern Android devices are kitted out with a bunch of sensors. You can use this information in lots of different ways – whether it’s monitoring light levels so your application can ...
