The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

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 ...

Melexis introduces a 16-bit inductive sensor for robotics, industrial, and mobility applications. The new dual-input MLX90514 delivers absolute position with high noise immunity through its SSI output ...

TransDigm Group has agreed to acquire Simmonds Precision Products from defense contractor RTX for approximately $765 million in cash. TransDigm said the transaction is subject to U.S. regulatory ...

ifm presents new inductive proximity sensors in full metal housings in three sizes for safety applications: M12, M18 and M30 with a housing length of 60 mm. For use in mobile machinery, they are ...

The Army is in the initial stages of testing new, specialized bullets to shoot down small drones, Army officials said on Monday. The service is developing both 30mm and 25mm rounds to be carried by AH ...

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 ...

Abstract: This letter presents an inductive sensor based on a micromachined coil for the detection of conductive targets. The proposed sensor consists of a planar micromachined sensing coil, a signal ...
