Today's handheld instruments rival the accuracy of traditional benchtop verification and certification tools. Unlike process transmitters with accuracies in the 0.02% to 0.05% range, most analog ...

The 1,1-mm thin APDS-9120 optical proximity sensor suits portable consumer electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, handheld games, and notebook PCs. It integrates a signal-conditioning IC, emitter, and ...

Semtech Launches Proximity Sensor to Enable Smart Phone and Tablet Makers to Minimize Radio Frequency Exposure in Next Generation Handheld Products ...

[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 ...

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.

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Over the past decade, electric utilities have placed increased priority on locating objects and structures that could become energized and pose a shock hazard to the public and animals. One way to ...

With the VOCcheck handheld sensor system, users can perform on-site detection, analysis, and verification of volatile compounds. It provides quality assurance for a ...

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 ...
