The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is launching a research study to develop new methods for monitoring black-tailed deer populations in the state, according to a department ...

Elliptic Labs attracted a lot of attention at CES a couple of years ago when it demonstrated some pretty cool 3D gestural interactions based on ultrasonic wave technology. It allowed users to navigate ...

Your Apple device is full of sensors. The main five consist of a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, an accelerometer, a magnetometer and a gyroscopic sensor. Also included in these devices are ...

The most advanced drones use GPS sensors for Smart navigation functions such as keeping its position at a fixed altitude and position, “Go Home” maneuvers enabling the drone to go back to the takeoff ...

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.

[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 ...

Featuring Two Interface Panels and Adjustable Performance Parameters, Kit Allows Designers to Easily and Inexpensively Evaluate VCNL4000 for Their Applications Vishay Intertechnology today introduced ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

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 ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...
