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 ...

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, ...

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.

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

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 ...

Having a smart home isn't just about voice assistants. An effective setup creates an interconnected ecosystem of devices working together to make daily life more convenient, efficient, and secure ...

[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 ...
